Wimbledon, England - With a record 24 aces, sixth-seeded Serena Williams advanced to his seventh Wimbledon final Thursday with a victory 6-3, 7-6 (6) in the semifinals of the second-seeded , Victoria Azarenka.
Williams will play third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska in Saturday's final.
While Williams often struggled to find the right place with its earthworks and made 35 errors not forced to only 23 Azarenka, the 30-year-old Williams was fighting to stay alive for a fifth title Wimbledon began so many points to end immediately.
"I worked very hard," said Williams, who has not won a major title since winning here in 2010. "I really wanted this. I had some near the second set. I was looking too far into the future."
Williams seemed to have understood the game expects, when he broke Azarenka in the third game of the second set to take a 2-1 lead and then held his service in pushing back Deuce-to-back aces by a lead of 3-1.
However, Azarenka, 22, of Belarus, has found his rhythm and forcing Williams started running more and more. Azarenka in the sixth game when Williams tied it hurt when a faulty reverse play and remained in office until the decisive game.
And the decisive game was even, with both players winning their service points, to the point 13, when Azarenka, perhaps feeling some nerves, had a routine to reverse the net.
With the center court of public feel as if I knew what was next, as Williams broke the 24 - a record for one game to the ladies at Wimbledon - to end the semifinals.
