Serena Williams moved closer to winning a fifth Wimbledon singles title with a formidable straight sets victory over Victoria Azarenka on Centre Court.

The American produced a record 24 aces to overpower Azarenka 6-3 7-6 (8-6) in one hour and 36 minutes minutes to set up a meeting with Agnieszka Radwanska.

Third seed Radwanska convincingly beat Angelique Kerber of Germany 6-3 6-4 to reach her first Grand Slam final.

Radwanska said: "There is one match to go. I'm really going to try my best."

Radwanska only needed one hour and nine minutes to complete a 6-3 6-4 win on Centre Court.

 

Heather Watson may take some comfort from having lost to Agnieszka Radwanska in the third round with her opponent progressing through to the final.

El Loro

Serena Williams overcame a resurgent Agnieszka Radwanska to clinch a hard-fought 6-1 5-7 6-2 victory and earn her fifth Wimbledon singles title.

The American, a winner in 2002, 2003, 2009 and 2010, had eased through the opener with Radwanska rarely threatening to pierce her defences.

But the Pole regrouped as rain delayed the second set, and clawed back a break before swooping late to win the second.

Williams broke twice in the decider to finally kill off Radwanska's comeback.

It is the 30-year-old's 14th Grand Slam title and her first since spending almost a year out of action between summer 2010 and 2011 with a leg injury and subsequent pulmonary embolism.

Such an absorbing finish seemed highly unlikely as Williams demolished Radwanska in the opening set, raising the fear that her opponent was still struggling with a respiratory illness that forced her to call off a news conference on Friday.

The world number three seemed to lack the energy necessary to realise her hopes of countering Williams's clubbing baseline power with guile and touch.

A brief rain shower seemed to have opposite effects on the pair however, as Radwanska emerged revitalised and Williams's forehand grew increasingly erratic.

After Wimbledon, the men's singles rankings now show Roger Federer up to number 1 ranking pushing both Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal down one place. Andy Murray remains in 4th place.

 

In the men's doubles rankings Jonathan Marray's victory rockets him up the rankings from 76th to 21st.

 

The leading British women's rankings are now:

75th Anne Keothavong (from 77th)

79th Heather Watson (up from 103rd as a result of getting into the 3rd round)

99th Elena Baltacha (from 101st)

113rd Laura Robson (down from 97th - she's dropped as last year she had progressed to the 2nd round)
