Serena Williams overcame a late stutter to advance to her 10th Wimbledon singles final with a 6-2, 6-4 victory over Julia Goerges.
Seven-time champion Williams dropped her serve for the first time in the match when attempting to close out victory at 5-3 in the second, but quickly regained her composure to win the following game.
Williams had been dominant on serve to that point and hadn't faced a break point until her final service game against her German opponent on Centre Court.
In Saturday's final, the 36-year-old Williams will face the same opponent she defeated to win the title in 2016, Angelique Kerber, who earlier defeated Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 6-3.
