Serena Williams battled a resilient Jie Zheng on Thursday but came out on top 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) to advance to the Wimbledon finals where she will now meet sister Venus Williams.
Williams was just dominant in Thursday’s semifinals as she pounded out 14 aces against Zheng and limited her mistakes to just12 unforced errors. Zheng, who entered Wimbledon as a wildcard, did what she could but had no real answer to Serena’s serve. Zheng only had six unforced errors but was forced to work for every point she earned.
Williams has won eight Grand Slam singles titles in her career including two at Wimbledon, both her Wimbledon titles came against Venus. She has beaten Venus Williams in five of her Finals appearances, losing just once.
