Poland’s Agnieszka Radwanska beat Germany’s Angelique Kerber 6-3, 6-4 to book her spot at the Wimbledon 2012 Ladies’ Singles Final. She will face either Serena Williams or Victoria Azarenka for the title.
This is the first Grand Slam final appearance for Radwanska, now ranked number three in the world. She’s the first player from her country to reach this far since 1939, when Jadwiga Jedrzejowska lost in the final of the French Open.
“This is a dream from when I was kid,” Radwanska said.
“I’m playing tennis almost 18 years, and of course everybody’s dream is to play the final of a Grand Slam,” she said.

Radwanska did reach the final here at the All England Club before, winning the 2005 girls’ title but this time, she’s now at at the ladies’ singles final.
“We both were a bit nervous in the beginning,” Radwanska 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. After a couple of games, I just relaxed a little bit. I was really focusing on every point,” she added.
