A STEADY hand, or steady backhands and forehands actually, was all it took for Agnieszka Radwanska to reach her first Wimbledon final.
The third-seeded Pole won five straight games to take the first set, and then held on after taking an early lead in the second to beat Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 in the semifinals yesterday.
"This is a dream from when I was kid," the 23-year-old Radwanska said. "I'm playing tennis almost 18 years, and of course everybody's dream is to play the final of a grand slam. We both were a bit nervous in the beginning," she said. "Of course this is the semifinals, so you really want to try your best, but sometimes too much, and your hands a little bit shaking."
Radwanska will face four-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams in tomorrow's final. Serena beat second-seeded Victoria Azarenka 6-3, 7-6 (8/6) to reach her seventh Wimbledon final.
