    Williams sisters for Wimbledon final

    LONDON (Reuters) - Venus and Serena Williams, who will face each other in Saturday's Wimbledon singles final, continued their domination of the championships on Friday by reaching the women's doubles final.

    The American sisters, seeded 11th, beat Nathalie Dechy of France and Australia's Casey Dellacqua 6-3 6-3. They have yet to drop a set in singles or doubles so far in the tournament.

    In Saturday's final they will face Lisa Raymond and Samantha Stosur, who beat top seeds Cara Black and Liezel Huber 6-3 6-3.

    Father Richard will not be in London to watch his daughters on Saturday when Venus will be trying to reverse two Wimbledon final defeats by Serena and land a fifth singles title. The sisters have also won two doubles titles together here.

    "He said he did his job and his job was done, so I guess he's feeling good. No matter what happens he's for sure going to be a winner," Serena told reporters.

    "I assume he'll be in Florida, because I knew he flew back to Florida. I don't know if he'll watch it, but I know he'll be there."
