Seventh seed Simona Halep has advanced to her maiden Wimbledon final with a straight-sets win over Elina Svitolina.
Romania’s former world No.1 passed her first major test of the tournament with a steely 6-1 6-3 semi-final victory over eighth-seeded Svitolina on Thursday.
Halep will play either seven-times champion Serena Williams or unseeded Czech Barbora Strycova in Saturday’s decider.
