Kasatkina fought back admirably in a bid to haul herself into contention at 5-5, but again it was Kerber who found the way through.

The 30-year-old wrapped up the victory inside 90 minutes to reach the last four at SW19.

She will next take on Jelena Ostapenko after the 12th seed beat Dominika Cibulkova.

Kerber will be looking to win her third Grand Slam and first at Wimbledon after her titles at the Australian Open and US Open in 2016.
