Tunisian third seed Ons Jabeur became the first Arab and African woman to reach a Grand Slam singles final as she beat German mother-of-two Tatjana Maria in the last four at Wimbledon.
Jabeur won 6-2 3-6 6-1 against 103rd-ranked Maria, who aimed to become the lowest-ranked woman to reach the final.
The pair are good friends but were rivals on Centre Court, sharing a long and loving embrace at the net.
Jabeur, 27, will face Simona Halep or Elena Rybakina in Saturday's showpiece.
