LONDON (UPI) -- Reigning champion Venus Williams beat Russia's Elena
Dementieva 6-1, 7-6 (7-3) in one women's semifinal Thursday at the
Wimbledon tennis championships.
Williams, the women's seventh seed, wiped out a nervous, over-matched
fifth-seeded Dementieva in just 38 minutes in the first set.
Dementieva made the match respectable by forcing a second set
tie-breaker.
Williams faces sister Serena, the sixth seed, in the women's final on
Saturday.
Serena Williams beat unseeded Jie Zheng of China 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) to set
up a third all-Williams Wimbledon title match on Saturday.
"I'm looking forward to playing her," Venus told reporters before her
sister's victory. "It's so exciting. I lost serve once every match.
That's pretty impressive (and) I'm looking forward to that final."
Venus, 28, a six-time Grand Slam champion, rose to 7-0 in Wimbledon
semifinal appearances and will be trying to win her 37th title in 59
career finals.
Serena won the 2002 and 2003 matchups.
