Defending champion Venus Williams defeated French and Australian Open champion Jennifer Capriati 6-4, 6-2 tonight to book a historic date with sister Serena in Saturday's US Open finals.
Serena Williams advanced by routing World No. 1 Martina Hingis 6-3, 6-2 in only 51 minutes in an earlier semi-final at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Saturday's women's final will be the first time two black women have met for a Grand Slam crown and the first time sisters have met in an Open-era Grand Slam final.
