Serena Williams has admitted that she would like to face sister Venus Williams in the final of Wimbledon this year.

Serena stormed into Saturday's showpiece with a dominant 6-2 6-0 drubbing of Elena Vesnina this afternoon, overcoming her opponent in less than 50 minutes.

Venus, meanwhile, takes on Angelique Kerber in the second semi-final, and Serena made no secret of who she wants to win.

"I'm very happy. I was really focused today. We've had tough matches before and I knew she could bring it to me on this surface. It's never easy out there, every point you have to fight for," she told BBC Sport.

"I can't believe I'm in the final this year. I'm 0-2 this year so I'm determined to win one. I want Venus to win, but Kerber would be another good match."

Serena and Venus have faced off in four previous Wimbledon finals, with Serena leading the head-to-head record 3-1.
