Wimbledon seems to be copying the French Open. At least in the women's draw. The semifinals features two unseeded players as well as the woman currently ranked #21. This isn't the group of women you expect to see in the final four. Except it also features current #1 Serena Williams who seems to be in unbeatable form at the moment.
In her past 5 matches, Serena has not dropped a set and has hit an incredible 73 aces (that's about 15 aces per match or 7 aces per set)! She is also on track to break the women's record for most aces hit in a Grand Slam singles event (the record is currently held by Martina Navratilova). It's highly unlikely that any of the remaining women can beat Serena on grass which means the younger Williams sister is almost certain of hoisting her 13th Grand Slam trophy on Saturday. This will move her past Billie Jean King (who currently has 12) to solo 6th place in terms of most Grand Slam singles titles won, and right behind Navratilova and Chris Evert who both have 18.
