Williams took just 79 minutes to demolish Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-4 on Centre Court yesterday, giving the five-time Wimbledon champion her 18th career win in 20 meetings with her bitter rival.

The 33-year-old American will be making her 25th Grand Slam final appearance, and her eighth at Wimbledon, as she chases a 21st major title.
