No fifth Williams Wimbledon final as Angelique Kerber beats Venus

Former Centre Court queen Williams showed flashes of the game that brought her five Wimbledon titles from 2000 to 2008.

Venus Williams fell painfully short of a ninth Wimbledon final appearance as she failed to fire in a straight-sets semi-final defeat to Angelique Kerber.

After sister Serena coasted to victory over Elena Vesnina in just 49 minutes, it fell to Venus to make it a fifth all-Williams family final at the All England Club.
