She also stopped Konta’s bid to become the first woman from Britain in 40 years to win the country’s Grand Slam tournament.

"I couldn't have asked for more, but I'll ask for a little more. One more win would be amazing," Williams told AP in an interview. "It won't be a given, but I'm going to give it my all."

10th-seeded Williams will participate in her second Grand Slam final of the season, and 16th of her career, this time against 14th-seeded Garbine Muguruza of Spain.
