Good evening! Serena starts the proceedings in this match

After some riveting action in the men's singles quarterfinals which saw defending champion and 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer losing in five sets, all eyes will be on Serena Williams as play resumes at the All England Club on Thursday.

With none of the top 10 seeds in women's singles remaining, Serena is the lowest seeded, at 25th, player in the women's singles semifinals. However, the 36-year-old, who is seeking her 24th career Grand Slam title in just her second major after returning from a pregnancy that kept her out for over a year, is a clear favourite to lift the title on Saturday.

Since making her return, Serena has won all her matches barring the clash against Maria Sharapova at the French Open when she was forced to withdraw. In the Wimbledon semis, she will take on No. 13 Julia Gorges, her first seeded opponent at this tournament.

Incidentally, in their last meeting, Serena, who is looking to equal Margaret Court's Grand Slam record, had convincingly beaten Gorges in the third round of the French Open.
