Venus Williams insists that she will remain "really focused and poised" as she looks to reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open.

Venus Williams has refused to get too carried away after reaching the quarter-final stage of the Australian Open.

The seven-time Grand Slam winner ended her five-year wait to reach the the latter stages of a major tournament by seeing off Agnieszka Radwanska 6-3 2-6 6-1 earlier today.

Asked if this was indeed her biggest win in a number of years, she said: "I don't know. I mean, I guess from the outside looking in, I guess it could look like that. But for me I'm just really focused and poised right now.

"I feel like I've been here before, so it's not like I'm jumping up and down for joy, Oh, shoot, what is this? I've never done this. Yes, I've done this.

"This is what I'm always going into each tournament thinking I want to do, even when I fall short. It's definitely not the first time. I guess that's how I feel."

Williams will come up against fellow American Madison Keys for a place in the final four of the tournament.
