GAME, SET, MATCH SERENA WILLIAMS! Williams def. Strycova 6-1 6-2

The seven-time champion is into her 11th Wimbledon final!

She does it with the classic serve-forehand combination, and puts away the forehand with ease at the net. That only took 59 minutes...

Strycova will play in the women's doubles semi-finals tomorrow - Williams into the final on Saturday, where she will undoubtedly be the favourite against Simona Halep of Romania.

Serena Williams, speaking to the BBC: 

"It's good, especially after my year!"

"I just needed some matches and to feel good. I love what I do, I get to play in front of crowds at Wimbledon!"

On playing Simona Halep in the final: 

"She's tough, and played unbelievably today. I look forward to it."
