If No. 2 Serena Williams beats No. 4 Elena Dementieva in today’s semifinals, and No. 3 Venus Williams gets past Dinara Safina, they would set up the fourth all-Williams title match at Wimbledon and second in a row. As it is, one Williams or the other has won seven of the past nine championships at Wimbledon.

Venus (-550) leads Safina (+375) 2-1 in previous meetings, while Serena (-550) leads Dementieva (+375) 5-3. Of more significance might be these statistics: Venus is 12-4 in Grand Slam semifinals with seven titles, and Safina is 3-1 with zero titles; Serena is 13-2 in Grand Slam semifinals with 10 titles, and Dementieva is 2-5 with zero titles.

There have been seven all-Williams championship matches at majors, with Serena holding a 5-2 lead. Overall, the sisters are tied 10-10.
