Agnieszka Radwanska of Poland prepares to serve during her Ladies' Singles semi final match against Angelique Kerber of Germany on day?10 of the Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championships at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on July 5, 2012 in London, England. |
A?steady hand, or steady backhands and forehands actually, was all it took for Agnieszka Radwanska to reach her first Wimbledon final.
The third-seeded Pole won five straight games to take the first set, and then held on after taking an early lead in the second to beat Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals yesterday.
"This is a dream from when I was kid," the 23-year-old Radwanska said. "I'm playing tennis almost 18 years, and of course everybody's dream is to play the final of a grand slam. We both were a bit nervous in the beginning," she said. "Of course this is the semifinals, so you really want to try your best, but sometimes too much, and your hands a little bit shaking."
Radwanska will face four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams in tomorrow's final. Serena beat second-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) to reach her seventh Wimbledon final.
