July 11 (UPI) -- Serena Williams roared and backed Barbora Strycova off of her typical spot on the tennis court with her overwhelming power and precision in a straight sets Wimbledon semifinal win Thursday in London.
The 6-1, 6-2 victory puts Williams in position for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title. She won her 23rd Grand Slam at the 2017 Australian Open, equating to her longest timeframe between major championships.
