Serena won two of their three sets 6-2, 1-6, 6-3 to progress to semi-finals, and afterwards gave her a no-love-lost hug across the net.

For the Semi-finals, she will play Italy's Roberta Vinci, the first of the two huddles standing in her way to winning the US Open Tennis Championships 2015.

But more importantly, she is about to make history as the first tennis player to win all four championships in the same season, a feat last peformed by Steffi Graf of Germany in 1988.

According to HuffPost's Maxwell Strachan, Serena, the No. 1 women's player in the world and a three-time defending champion of the women's U.S. Open, won the game at Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.

On Monday night, Serena Williams reportedly spend the night with Kim Kardarshian-West before her big game. Kim herself was among the A-Lister's who graced the venue.

Serena and Venus have clashed several times in the past with Tuesday's game being their 27th match, on opposing sides of the course of their careers since 1998 when they first played each other at the Australian Open.

If you are thinking of splitting the games between the sisters, Serena now leads her 35 year old Venus by 16-11.
