  • Venus Williams has reached the Wimbledon final for the seventh time
  • The defending champion dominated Elena Dementieva 6-1, 7-6 (3)
  • Williams will face either younger sister Serena or Zheng Jie in Saturday’s final

Defending champion Venus Williams beat Elena Dementieva 6-1, 7-6 (3) Thursday to advance to the Wimbledon final, setting up a potential championship matchup with sister Serena.

Venus Williams, a four-time Wimbledon winner, overpowered the fifth-seeded Russian in the first set and then won the big points in the second-set tiebreaker to improve her record to 7-0 in semifinals at the All England Club.

Her opponent in Saturday’s final could be two-time champion Serena, who was next up on Centre Court to face 133rd-ranked Chinese wild-card entrant Zheng Jie.

It would be the first all-Williams final since 2003 when Serena beat Venus in the championship match for the second year in a row.
