La Alemana Angelique Kerber frustró las ilusiones de quienes querian ver un nuevo duelo de las hermanas Williams en una final de Grand Slam…la quinta en Wimbledon.
Preclasificada 4, Kerber tomo control ante una muy inteligente Venus que tenian todas las ilusiones de volver a una final de Grand Slam….el partido que fue muy parejo hasta los ultimos games, termino a favor de Kerber con parciales de 6-4 y 6-4 en una hora y 12 minutos.
Angelique Kerber que ganó el abierto de Australia, tuvo su mejor actuacion en Wimbledon en el 2014, cuando llegó a cuartos de final y ahora se enfrentara a la numero uno del Mundo Serena Williams en la final del tercer Grand Slam de temporada, el abierto de Wimbledon.
Ambitions nursed by the Williams family of a fifth Wimbledon final between Serena and Venus were briskly torpedoed by Angelique Kerber, the No.4 seed from Germany, who out-ran and out-hit the 36-year-old Venus 6-4, 6-4 to reach her second Grand Slam final of 2016.
The fact that she will now face Serena in Saturday’s championship will not faze her unduly, since it was the younger Williams she defeated to win the Australian Open in January to win her first Grand Slam.
“I will just try to go out there with a lot of confidence,” the left-hander promised. A lot of confidence was on show as she dominated the bulk of the exchanges against Venus, who had never previously lost in eight Wimbledon semi-finals, to win in one hour and 12 minutes.
