Rome, Italy (Sports Network) - Serena Williams appears unstoppable. Williams ran her winning streak to 23 straight matches Saturday with a 6-3, 6-0 demolition of Romanias Simona Halep in the semifinals of the Italian Open and will set her sights on a fourth straight title on Sunday against Victoria Azarenka. The last player to beat Williams was Azarenka in the final of the Qatar Open back in February. Williams will get a chance to avenge that defeat, as Azarenka reached the final with a 6-0, 7-5 triumph over Italian crowd favorite Sara Errani. Since the setback to Azarenka in Doha, followed by an injury withdrawal in Dubai, Williams has won titles in Miami, Charleston and last week in Madrid. Only four times during the 23-match streak has she been taken to three sets and no one has done so this week at the Foro Italico. In powering past Laura Robson, Dominika Cibulkova, Carla Suarez Navarro and Halep, Williams has dropped a mere 10 games. Three times, including Saturday, shes completed an unblemished set. Halep actually broke serve to grab a 2-1 lead early in Saturdays match, but it was all Williams from there. Williams broke right back -- the first of her five break conversions -- and fired five aces while winning 57 of the 89 points played in a match that took just 65 minutes. Azarenka won the first seven games of the match against Errani, who threatened to take the second set after a break gave her a 5-4 lead and thrilled the home crowd. Instead, Azarenka broke right back and won the next two games to reach her third final of 2013. Sunday will mark the third scheduled meeting of the year between Williams and Azarenka. Azarenka pulled out of a semifinal meeting in Brisbane because of injury and Williams went on to win that tournament to start the year, but the Belarusian claimed a 7-6 (8-6), 2-6, 6-3 win over the American in the Doha final. "She played well in Doha," said Williams. "I had opportunities I wasnt able to use and Vika played well in the important points. It was a tough tournament, though, and I was happy to be in the final." The two could have met in the Australian Open semifinals, but Sloane Stephens beat Williams in the quarters and Azarenka went on to win the seasons first Grand Slam for a second straight year. Azarenka is 16-11 all-time in finals, including 2-0 in 2013. This will be her first trip to the Rome finale. Williams won the Rome crown in 2002, coincidentally the only year she won the French Open, and last week in Madrid secured her 50th career title. She is bidding for her fifth win of 2013. Azarenkas victory over Williams in Doha was just her second in 13 all-time matchups. Williams had won nine straight in the series, including last years U.S. Open final and the only previous meeting on clay in last years Madrid title match. Ethan Westbrooks Jersey .

The Seattle Seahawks?will pay $140,000 to?Texas A&M?for limited rights to the schools 12th Man trademark as part of a new five-year deal announced Thursday between the two parties.As part of the new five-year deal obtained by ESPN, the Seahawks will pay a royalty fee of $18,000 a year for using the mark in the Pacific Northwest. The Seahawks also will have to pay $10,000 a year to the Aggies to help support the school in its fight to protect the trademark.Unlike the terms of the earlier deals, which were initiated in 2006 and re-signed in 2011, the Seahawks will no longer use 12th Man on their Ring of Honor, nor will the team use 12th Man on its social media handles. The team has never been permitted to put 12th Man on merchandise.We are obviously pleased to have in place the new agreement with the Seattle Seahawks that serves to control and minimize any use of Texas A&Ms trademark 12th Man by any entity other than Texas A&M and its authorized licensees, Texas A&M system chancellor John Sharp said in a statement.Over the past couple of years, the Seahawks have used the 12th Man phrase on fewer occasions as the team has shifted to using 12 and 12s, which Seattle has sought to own.The Seahawks filed for their first 122 trademark with the U.ddddddddddddS. Patent and Trademark Office in April 2006 with Spirit of 12, which it became a registered owner of in 2008. Since then, the Seahawks -- under their parent company, Football Northwest -- filed for trademarks using 12 or 12s on 52 occasions.The Seahawks are the owners of 12, The 12s, We Are 12s.Texas A&M and the Seahawks began working together after the university took legal action against the team for using the phrase Texas A&M had trademarked in 1990 without its permission.After the initial lump sum of $100,000 in 2006, the Seahawks had been paying $5,000 a year. The amount of the fee in the new deal that runs through 2021 is unknown.As with the former contracts, the compensation is not expected to be large, but it is nonetheless important for the school. Having a contract for use with an NFL team further helps establish the value of Texas A&Ms trademark.In November, Texas A&M sued the Indianapolis Colts for using the 12th Man without the schools permission. The lawsuit was settled with no money changing hands after the Colts agreed to stop using it.
