Serena Williams brushed aside Elena Vesnina in just 48 minutes to reach the Wimbledon final.

The world No 1 won the first set 6-2 before bageling her Russian opponent in a dominant display of power.

Vesnina, the world No 50, was playing in her first Major semi-final and was clearly overawed, losing the first set in 28 minutes.

She struggled to deal with the American's serve and was only able to pick up three points from it in the entire match.

Williams will now wait to see who she will face in the final as her sister Venus takes on No 4 seed Angelique Kerber on Centre Court.4
