Serena Defeats Li Na To Reach Semifinals At Wimbledon
Wimbledon defending champion Serena Williams has a good chance of playing for her fourth title on Saturday.
Serena avoided the wave of upsets, beating China’s Li Na 7-5, 6-3 and moving closer to her 13th Grand Slam championship.
Sister Venus was upset by 82nd-ranked Tsvetana Pironkova of Bulgaria and Kim Clijsters fell to 21st-seeded Vera Svonereva of Russia
The top-seeded Serena had 11 aces to take her tournament total to 73, breaking the record of 72 she set last year. She had 21 winners and just six unforced errors.
“I always serve well at Wimbledon, but this is the first time I’ve ever served this well so consistently,” Serena said.
Her semifinal opponent is 62nd-ranked Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, who saved five match points before beating Estonian qualifier Kaia Kanepi 4-6, 7-6 (8), 8-6.
