Serena Williams Defeats Maria Sharapova in Wimbledon 2015 Semi-Final

Serena Williams proved her prowess on court as she defeated rival Maria Sharapova 6-2, 6-4, to move within one win of a second Serena Wimbledon slam.

Serena will next face Spain’s Garbine Muguruza in the final game on Saturday. The young Spaniard stunned Serena in the French Open second round last year. Muguruza, 21, beat Agnieszka Radwanska 6-2 3-6 6-3 in the first semi-final.

Serena said after the game, “When she stepped up my game I was able to step up mine as well. You never want to lose. [Garbine Muguruza] actually beat me before, she made me improve. It’s not going to be an easy match. I think the feeling [of winning] definitely gets better. It’s been a long time since I’ve been in the final here [three years]. It’s really cool.”
