Ladies' Semi-Finals

The sun shone on Wimbledon today as the ladies' semi-finals took place. Eighth seed Angelique Kerber faced third seed Agnieszka Radwanska in the first of the two ties. But Radwanska wasn't in the mood to hang around and quickly took the first set 6-3. Only one break was required in the second set as Radwanska then took the second set 6-4 to book her place in Saturday's final. She creates history by becoming the first Polish woman to feature in a Grand Slam final.

Radwanska would meet either sixth seed, Serena Williams, or second seed, Victoria Azarenka. Williams also looked like she wasn't looking to stay for long, taking the opening set 6-4. Azarenka then forced a tie-break in the second set and forced it into over-time, but Williams managed to take it 8-6 to force her way into the final. The American will now be looking to seal her fifth Wimbledon triumph.
