WIMBLEDON, England — Venus Williams, the 37-year-old winner of seven major tennis tournaments, powered her way into her ninth Wimbledon final on Thursday by upsetting No. 6 Johanna Konta and her partisan fans in Centre Court.
Williams, the No. 10 seed, is seeking her sixth Wimbledon singles title and her first since 2008. She will play No. 14 Garbiñe Muguruza of Spain, who breezed into her second Wimbledon final by ousting the unseeded Magdalena Rybarikova, 6-1, 6-1, in only 65 minutes in the first match on Thursday.
