Serena Williams is one win away from equalling Margaret Court’s grand
slam record of 24 titles after cruising past Julia Goerges into the
Wimbledon final.
Williams has improved round by round at SW19 over the past two weeks and her power was a joy to behold as surprisesemi-finalist Goerges was beaten 6-2 6-4.
Prowling the baseline, Williams was aggressive and precise with her groundstrokes, keeping Goerges pinned back and working hard just to remain in rallies.
The sheer energy it took to stay with the 25th seed eventually took its toll, though, and Williams was ruthless in converting.
Serena Williams will now face Angelique Kerber in Saturday’s final in a repeat of the 2016 showpiece, a match the American won in straight sets.
Twenty years after making her Wimbledon debut as a precocious teenager and 16 years since her first title at the All England Club, Serena Williams remains the pre-eminent force in the women's game
Inspirational.
