Third seed Venus Williams stayed resolutely on course for a third straight Wimbledon title with a 6-1 6-2 victory over Poland's Agnieszka Radwanska in their quarter-final on Tuesday.
Venus, seeking her sixth career title here, has not lost a set at Wimbledon since the 2007 third round and the 11th seed rarely threatened a shock on a sun-kissed Court One.
Venus raced to the first set in 27 minutes and though the Pole broke early for a 2-0 lead in the second, the seven-time grand slam winner reeled off six straight games to advance.
She will play top seed Dinara Safina of Russia for a place in Saturday's final.
