  1. - - Up next on court number one is Francesca Schiavone v Elena Dementieva. You can follow that LIVE once it starts here.

  2. - - Venus will be facing either Dinara Safina or Sabine Lisicki in the semi-final. Follow their match LIVE here.

  3. 2-6 - At 15-15, Venus fires a forehand down the line that hits the net and just creeps over, as if she needed the good fortune. Radwanska's sliced return lands out of court, so Venus has two match points. She whips a devilish forehand past Radwanska and she is through to the semi-finals.

  4. 2-5 - Radwanska looks to have beaten Williams with a forehand at the net, but Venus hooks another two-hander back across her for two break points! Venus converts the first of those to win her fifth straight game. She'll now serve for the match.

  5. 2-4 - Williams gracefully volleys a winner in mid-air, and then thunders a trademark two-hander past Radwanska to hold.

  6. 2-3 - Venus pushes her way to deuce and then hammers a forehand past Radwanska at the net for a break point, but her forehand winner is too long. Radwanska slices into the net to concede another break point, but saves it well by sending Venus out wide with a backhand. After a chance to hold goes begging, Radwanska is made to pay when her net volley doesn't beat Venus, who wins another break point. Venus then completes the break with another emphatic string of volleys at the net!

  7. 2-2 - A sensational late change of direction from Radwanska sees her catch Venus's drop shot and lift it over her. that is a highlight of the match, but then she lets herself down by serving up her second double fault. Venus steps up to attack the second serve and beats Radwanska into submission with volleys at the net.

  8. 2-2 - Radwanska is beginning to get rallies going on the Venus serve now, but it's still the defending champion coming out on top, and she holds to 15 to level the set.

  9. 2-1 - Venus comes fighting right back, and Radwanska's first double fault give her opponent two break points. Venus hits a forehand long to spurn the first chance, but she volleys at the net to take the second and break right back!

  10. 2-0 - Venus has really lost her focus at the moment... A double fault at 0-40 sees Agnieszka Radwanska secure a break to love that would have been inconcievable just 10 minutes ago!

  11. 1-0 - Just as Radwanska challenged the last point of the last set, Venus challenges an out call on the first point in this. Hawkeye goes Radwanska's way, and the Pole can't help but crack a little smile. Venus exacts revenge on the next point by hammering a two-hander right at her opponent! Venus clearly looks annoyed, and she fires into the net and Radwanska holds.

  12. 1-6 - Radwanska is rooted to the spot as a Venus ace sets up two set points. As the American fires another ace past her, Radwanska challenges it, but hawkeye confirms what we all knew already, that Venus Williams has cruised to take the first set!

  13. 1-5 - Williams gets up to 15-30 befire an overhit forehand levels things up. Radwanska then hits a forehand wide to give Venus a break point, but Williams then sees a backhand drop just out for deuce. Venus hits the net and the crowd give Radwanska some encouraging applause, but her attempted winner down the line hits the net. At deuce once more, Venus hits a winner just too long and this time Radwanska holds!

  14. - - The winner of this match - whoever that may be - will face either world number one Dinara Safina or Sabine Lisicki in the semi-final. Find out how those two are getting on here.

  15. 0-5 - Venus thunders a serve-volley combo past Radwanska for 30-0 before the Pole flukes a point from a clip of the net. Williams barely seems to notice, and hammers another ace to seal the game.

  16. 0-4 - An ace gets Radwanska's second service game to a much better start than her first, but Venus drills a couple of backhands past her to go 15-30 up. Radwanska hits the net and Venus has three break points, but she only needs one as a fearsome forehand return sends her into a 4-0 lead!

  17. 0-3 - A barrage of solid serves and two-handers from Venus see her hold to love once more.

  18. 0-2 - After a couple of unforced errors - hitting the net and than loosely firing a forehand wide - Radwanska recovers to eventually get to deuce. Venus earns a break point, but then returns into the net. She wins another but Radwanska ends a great rally with a nonchalant drop shot at the net. Venus eventually breaks at the third attempt.

  19. 0-1 - The five-times champion at SW19 cruises through her opening service game.

  20. - - Venus will open serve...

  21. - - Standing in her way is Venus Willams, going for her third consecutive Wimbledon singles title, and the American is yet to drop a set this year after cruising past Stefanie Vogele Kateryna Bondarenko and Carla Suarez Navarro, before Ana Ivanovic had to pull out of their fourth round match yesterday.
