Serena Williams said it's crazy that she has managed to reach a 10th Wimbledon final, 10 months after life-saving surgery which followed her pregnancy. The American, 36, eased past Germany's Julia Goerges 6-2, 6-4 and will face another German, Angelique Kerber in tomorrow's final, her 30th Grand Slam championship match.
"It's crazy. I don't even know how to feel because I literally did not think I'd do this well in my fourth tournament back," said Williams. Victory on Saturday will give her an eighth Wimbledon title and 24th Grand Slam crown, taking her level with Margaret Court's all-time mark. It's a staggering achievement for Williams, who defeated Kerber in the 2016 final before sitting out the 2017 tournament to prepare for parenthood.
