Looking to make a little history of her own.

Already the greatest of her era, Serena Williams continues to climb the ranks of tennis' elite with a 19th Grand Slam title in sight.

Thursday night, the Australia Open's top seed disposed of fellow American Madison Keys in straight sets to advance to the Finals. There, she'll meet rival Maria Sharapova, who she defeated in the 2007 Aussie Final.

In the semis, Williams was spotted wearing a Black History Month make-up of her prototype Nike tennis shoe. The NikeCourt Flare bears this year's BHM print throughout the upper, which is supported by a Free-like sole. Lockdown is also aided by a built in ankle wrap.

Williams and Sharapova go head-to-head for the title on Saturday.
