History is on the line when No. 1 Serena Williams battles No. 7 Angelique Kerber in the 2016 Australian Open Women's Championship.
Williams is just one Grand Slam title away from her 22nd, which would tie her with Steffi Graf for the most all-time. Naturally, the 34-year-old isn't feeling any pressure on Saturday.

"I haven't won this one [yet]," she said, per The Guardian. "But even if I don't win, I really can take away that I've been really consistent, and I want to continue that."
Kerber will do anything she can to prevent her from doing so. She just has to get over nerves of her own. Despite an illustrious career -- one with seven career WTA titles -- this is Kerber's first Grand Slam final. She'll look to chase history over her own.
