ElsCallens, a Belgian qualifer with little form this year, posed the first serious questions this Wimbledon about Serena Williams' right to meet her big sister Venus in a second successive Grand Slam final next Saturday.
Then, having broken for a 3-2 lead in the second set, Callens again failed to press home her advantage, notably on what was the defining point of the match when she stood on the brink of a 5-2 lead until Williams produced a remarkable winning lob at full stretch.
A disbelieving Callens clung on for a second tie-break, but was never in that one as Williams raced to four match points, clinching her victory with an ace on the first of them.
