Williams will face first-time Olympian Maria Sharapova in the final.
Wimbledon: Serena Williams has clinched at least a silver and earned a berth in the Olympic final, beating No. 1-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-1, 6-2.
On Saturday, Williams will face first-time Olympian Maria Sharapova, who beat Russian teammate Maria Kirilenko in the semifinals, 6-2, 6-3.
Williams has lost only 16 games through five rounds and has won 12 consecutive matches this summer at the All England Club, including her fifth Wimbledon title a month ago.
She teamed with sister Venus to win the gold medal in doubles in 2000 and 2008. They had a chance to clinch at least a silver in a semifinal match scheduled later on Friday.
Williams has won 14 Grand Slam singles championships, the most of any active woman.
