Four turn – Carla Suarez Navarro
Williams kept his 100% record against Navarro with the easiest of wins, losing only four games in a 6-2, 6-2 win.
Quarterfinals – Alison Riske
Williams' toughest test was against conqueror Riske, world number one, Ashleigh Barty, in the last eight games. She seemed to be in trouble while she was down in the last set. However, she rallied to win 6-4, 4-6, 6-3.
Semi-final – Barbora Strycova
The Czech Czech did not live up to Williams' power in a one-sided match that she dominated from the start, triumphing 6-1, 6-2.
What are they saying?
Williams is in a different place with her performance on the court – something that she says has been helped by her partnership with Andy Murray in mixed doubles:
"I'm in a different place, because I did not really play a month ago, at all.
"So, everything is coming together."
And as for his loss to Halep in the 2014 WTA Finals?
"The key to our games is the defeat I've had, I've never forgotten her, she's played incredibly, and it lets me know how far she has come – she can do it again." So I have to be better than that. "
This will be Halep's first final at Wimbledon and his opponent is formidable – but Halep is more concerned with focusing on his own performance:
"I'm desperate to win more than stop at Wimbledon, I'm going to focus on myself."
What are the chances?
- Serena wins the 1/2
- Halep to win 6/4
What is our prediction?
Williams has an impressive number of titles to his name, with 23 Grand Slam titles compared to Halep. The seared path of last season seems to be over, Serena's double matches gave him a renewed advantage and confidence.
