Venus Williams' Wimbledon singles dream ran into a roadblock, but she bounced back with sister Serena to keep a doubles dream alive.

Angelique Kerber spoiled the prospect of a fifth Williams sisters Wimbledon final, dismantling Venus, 6-4, 6-4, to set up an Australian Open final rematch with Serena.

Though there won't be a Williams sisters singles final, the sisters still have a shot for their sixth Wimbledon doubles title after scoring a three-set win over Elena Vesnina and Ekaterina Makarova in today's quarterfinals.

"I would love (to win doubles). It's what I'm here for," Venus said. "I didn't enter the draw to lose. I didn't enter the singles draw to lose. Who does that? So that's the goal now, is tomorrow to do our best to win each and every point. We don't even want to lose one."

The Williams sisters have never lost a Wimbledon doubles final. They will play eighth seeds Julia Goerges and Karolina Pliskova for a place in the championship match.

"Perhaps it could be that we're together even better," Venus said. "Maybe that's the secret to all of our success in doubles. We never played a ton, but we had a lot of success. Both of us together fighting and playing well is definitely a good thing for our chances.

The 36-year-old Venus was playing to become the oldest Grand Slam singles finalist since a 37-year-old Martina Navratilova fell to Conchita Martinez in the 1994 Wimbledon final.

Contesting her 19th Wimbledon, Venus said her resurgence is inspired by believing in major possibilities.

"In life there is no such thing as impossible," Williams said. "It's always possible. That's what you feel as an athlete. Pretty much our job is to make the impossible happen every day. It's like magic, you know. I like that.

"I like to think that people will continue to play a long time."
