It’s the USA against Russia in the Wimbledon women’s singles semi-finals on Thursday.
The world top four players have all won their quarter-final matches setting the stage for a possible all Williams final.
First, Venus Williams dismantled 20-year-old Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland in 1 hour 8 minutes. Then there was a short break and then Serena Williams, on Centre Court, made it two sisters in the semifinals.
With Venus watching, number two seed Serena took out Victoria Azarenka, the 19-year-old from Belarus, 6-2, 6-3.
Serena will play Elena Dementieva after the Russian fourth seed came through 6-2, 6-2 against Francesca Schiavone of Italy.
Top seed Dinara Safina will face the defending champion Venus.
With Serena’s 10 Grand Slam victories to Venus’s 7, could it be another Venus vs. Serena final? It’s looking that way.
