Venus Williams ended Maria Sharapova's bid to repeat as Wimbledon champion with a 7-6 6-1 win. Maria, last year's Wimbledon winner over Serena Williams, had several chances to take charge in the match but never did. Maria had a good chance to break Serena in the first game of the first set but Serena responded and held serve.
Venus was up 5-2 in the first set but Maria stormed back to tie at 6-6 and force a tie-breaker. With momentum on her side, Maria seemed poised to take control of the first set and the match, but lost her composure and the tie-breaker 7-2. Maria was never in the second set as Venus moves to the finals against Lindsay Davenport in an all American final.
