Serena Williams made light work of Barbora Strycova to reach the Wimbledon final and stand one win away from a record‑equalling 24th Grand Slam title.

The American was just too powerful for the Czech in a 6‑1 6‑2 win that set up a final against Romania's Simona Halep.

She took just 59 minutes to win and continue her bid for an eighth title.
