Serena Williams is through to yet another Grand Slam final after easing past Barabora Strycova in the Wimbledon semi-finals.

The 37-year-old took the first set 6-1 before claiming the second 6-2.

She'll take on Simona Halep in Saturday's final after the former world number one put on an equally impressive performance, defeating eighth seed Elina Svitolina 6-1, 6-3.

Williams is seeking a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam title while Halep, who is the first Romanian to make the Wimbledon final, is looking to add to her 2018 French Open triumph.
