Wimbledon 2015 - Serena William's into the Semi Finals
Top seed Serena Williams kept alive her hopes of a sixth Wimbledon
title and a possible calendar Grand Slam with a three-set win over
Victoria Azarenka.
The 20-time Grand Slam champion has now won 26 matches in a row at the majors stretching back to Wimbledon 2014.
Williams goes on to face Russian fourth seed Maria Sharapova in the semi-finals on Thursday.
She is now two wins from holding all four major singles titles, and closer to becoming the first woman since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four in one year, but afterwards continued her policy of not talking about the subject, saying "no Slam talk".
Williams and Sharapova will meet for the 20th time, with the American having won the last 16 encounters.
Spanish 20th seed Garbine Muguruza will play Poland's former finalist Agnieszka Radwanska the
13th seed, in the other semi-final.
Former champion Maria Sharapova withstood some heavy hitting from American Coco Vandeweghe to reach her fifth Wimbledon semi-final.
The fourth seed was under pressure after losing the second set but recovered to beat the world number 47 6-3 6-7 (3-7) 6-2 in the opening match on Centre Court.
"You have to give everything," said the 2004 winner.
Shaw Post believes that we're set for some mouth watering Semi Final clashes. You just don't know which way it's going to.
Few would predict Maria Sharapove to beat Serena Williams but stranger things have happened. We believe that the temperature and humidity could play a small part in the semi finals.
