LONDON - Serena Williams reached her fifth Wimbledon final Thursday with an epic 6-7 (4/7), 7-5, 8-6 win over Elena Dementieva where she saved a match point in the longest semi-final in the tournament's history.
The American second seed's 2hr 49min victory went halfway to guaranteeing a fourth title match here against sister Venus and restored some desperately-needed credibility to the women's game.
Defending champion Venus, who beat Serena in the 2008 final, was facing world number one and top seed Dinara Safina later where she'll be bidding to reach an eighth All England Club final.
