Melbourne: World number one Serena Williams surged into her 26th Grand Slam final Thursday, demolishing Polish fourth seed Agnieszka Radwanska as she zeroes in on her seventh Australian Open title.

The dominant top seed was untouchable in overpowering the Pole 6-0, 6-4 on Rod Laver Arena to set up a decider against either German seventh seed Angelique Kerber or unseeded Briton Johanna Konta.
