Venus Williams beat the Russian No 5 seed Elena Dementieva 6-1, 7-6 (7-3). It was a long match that started with Venus Williams starting strongly but Dementieva played strongly and Venus Williams showed some inconsistencies but eventually came through the winner to make this her seventh final.

Zheng Jie of China played Serena Williams with the rain interuppting play but Serena Williams proved her ability and pedigree and won 6-2, 7-6 (7-5) but it was by no means a walk over. The second set was nearly looking to go the way of Zheng Jie, the 133rd seed and wild card at Wimbledon, but Serena managed to stamp her authority, but Zheng Jie made sure Serena Williams had to work hard for her victory.

Top marks to Zheng Jie who managed to beat some top seeded players including the No1 seed Ana Ivanovic to reach the semi finals, and is one to watch in the future with her next match being in the Beijing Olympics in her home country. A possible finalist in Wimbledon 2009!

The Ladies Wimbledon 2008 Championship final with Serena Williams v Venus Williams is to be held this Saturday. Weather forecast is for showers and strong winds so it could be a long match.
