Defending champion Venus Williams will head into her 7th Wimbledon singles final on Sunday after comfortably defeating Russia’s Elena Dementieva in straight sets 6-1 7-6.
Elena Dementieva’s weak serve proved costly in the first set as her powerhouse of an opposition blasted through her taking the first set with ease. Elena fought back from 2-0 down in the 2nd set and put up a fight before eventually being overawed by her American opposition 7-3 in the deciding tie break. Venus Williams is still to drop a set in this years championship.
