LONDON (Reuters) - Here's a look at the form and previous records of Britain's Johanna Konta and American Venus Williams ahead of their semi-final at Wimbledon on Thursday (prefix number denotes seeding):
6-Johanna Konta (Britain)
The home favorite is on her career-best run at the championships and is bidding to become the first British woman to win the title since Virginia Wade in 1977.
Konta has won titles in Miami and Sydney this year and was a finalist at the Wimbledon warm-up event in Nottingham.
She defeated second seed Romanian Simona Halep over three epic sets in the quarter-finals.
10-Venus Williams (U.S.)
Five-times Wimbledon champion Venus is always a force to reckoned with at the All England Club and is one of the favorite to lift the title.
The 37-year-old has dropped one set on her way to the final four and needed just over an hour to beat French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko in the quarter-finals.
Venus reached the Australian Open final this year where she was beaten by her sister Serena.
