Wimbledon 2011: Maria Sharapova overcomes shaky start to reach final

? Sharapova beats Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-3
? Favourite will play Petra Kvitova in final

Maria Sharapova set up a Wimbledon final against Petra Kvitova after storming back from a shaky start to beat Sabine Lisicki 6-4, 6-3.

The Russian fifth seed, who won the grasscourt grand slam in 2004, slipped 3-0 down to the German wild card in the first set of the semi-final but suddenly found her groove to rattle off a string of winners.

Rain was in the air just as Sharapova was excelling but the drizzle held off and her momentum was maintained.

The second set was again inconsistent from both players but the 24-year-old prevailed and will now fancy her chances against the Czech eighth seed in Saturday's final.
