( CNN ) -- The task facing Agnieszka Radwanska in her first Grand Slam final is a daunting one , because in the opposite corner is Serena Williams , who 'll be gunning for a 14th major singles titles . Radwanska , the No . 3 seed from Poland , defeated Angelique Kerber 6-3 6-4 on Centre Court to book her place in a showpiece final for the first time in her fledgling career . And her opponent will be 30-year-old Williams , who also recorded a straight sets win , disposing of the No . 2 seed Victoria Azarenka 6-3 7-6 . Williams has won four singles crowns at the All England Club , the last of them coming in 2010 , and powered past Azarenka , from Belarus , firing down 24 aces and 45 winners . By reaching her seventh Wimbledon final , she becomes the first 30-year-old to do so since 22-time Grand Slam winner Steffi Graf in 1999 . `` I 've been working so hard , I really wanted it , '' she said in a post-match interview . `` She was playing well and I got a little tight in the second set . I was looking too far in the future . I was so close , but I ca n't do that . I was happy to get through that second set tie-break . '' Williams will go into Saturday 's final the favorite given her experience and her head-to-head record against Radwanska -- she has n't dropped a set in their two meetings to date . Serena can now boast 85 aces in this year 's tournament , second only to German quarterfinalist Philipp Kohlschreiber , who has 98 to his name . Williams ' performance against Azarenka was made all the more impressive by the fact that she played two doubles matches with sister Serena on Wednesday . Radwanska won on her Grand Slam semifinal debut to become Poland 's first major finalist for 75 years . The 23-year-old and German Kerber are firm friends off the court but Radwanska told reporters she had to put personal feelings aside in pursuit of her Grand Slam goal . `` I 'm so happy , it 's amazing . I played very good today , '' Radwanska said . `` It 's always tough against Angie . We are very good friends but of course on court we were both fighting for the final . `` I think we were both a bit nervous in the beginning , your hand is shaking a bit , but after a couple of games I relaxed . `` This is what I dreamed of since I was a kid . Everyone wants to reach a Grand Slam final . It is the best two weeks of my career . '' Kerber , who defeated her friend and fellow German Sabine Lisicki in the quarterfinal , said she had lost to the better player . `` She played very well today . I gave my best , but she was better , '' Kerber said . `` I was maybe one or two steps slower . I think that made the difference . `` My plan was to be aggressive , but she moved very well and did n't make many mistakes , so it was really tough . `` Actually it was a great tournament for me . I 'm in the semis here in Wimbledon . Sure , I 'm a little bit disappointed , but it 's ok . ''
