Venus Williams became the oldest
Wimbledon finalist for 23 years on
Thursday as the American star ended
Johanna Konta ’s history bid with a
masterful 6 - 4 , 6 - 2 win .
Twenty years after making her
Wimbledon debut, five - time champion
Williams is into her ninth final at the
All England Club and her first since
2009.
The 37 - year - old ’s sublime display of
power - hitting on Centre Court stopped
Konta becoming the first British
woman to make the final for 40 years
and set up a title match against Spain’s
Garbine Muguruza .
