The number one seed, Serena Williams easily beat Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-0 in the semi-finals of the Ladies' Singles at Wimbledon. The unseeded Elena Vesnina is ranked 50th in the world for singles (her doubles ranking is much better). Vesnina had her best ever result at Wimbledon to make it through to the semi-finals; in fact, it's her best ever result in any major. Her ranking should climb as a result. Now to see if Serena will be facing her older sister Venus in the final, as the latter goes up against the better-seeded Angelique Kerber. Image: Freeimages.com

It was basically Serena cruising past a Cinderella who better at doubles. I think everyone wants that Williams sisters finals showdown.

That's not looking too promising at the moment.

@Gina145 Yesterday they were suggesting nerves might be affecting Federer too. After all, he is getting on a bit now, and time's running out for him.

@JohnRoberts I was hoping it would be but I think nerves got the better of Venus. It's been so long since she got close to a Wimbledon final that she must have wanted it really badly. Actually we might get a better match this way because matches between the two sisters were often rather one-sided.

It was a really disappointing match, especially after all the drama we saw yesterday. Hopefully the match between Venus and Angelique Kerber will be a lot better.

I didn't see the match live today, but from the scores it looked like Serena just walked through it.

@egdcltd She certainly did. The match lasted all of 48 minutes and for a while I didn't think that Vesnina was going to win a game at all. The commentary was actually more interesting than the tennis.

@Gina145 Still, it was quite impressive for Vesnina to have made it to the semis. Oh dear, it's not looking good for Venus at the moment. She's already been broken.
