The world No 1 needed less than an hour and a half to beat her rival 6-3 7-6 as the Australian bid for her second Grand Slam title.
Kerber, who was Wimbledon winner in 2018, looked to level the match, but fell out of love in a loud fashion while working for the second set.
There were some nerves on Barty’s performance as he attempted to close the match, needing four match points, to eventually send off his unreliable opponent after a 6–0 lead in the tie-breaker.
“It’s unbelievable,” Barty said after the match. “It’s as good a tennis match as I’ll ever play and Angie really did my best today. I’m incredibly proud of myself and my team and now I get a Saturday to live out my childhood dream.”
“You have to enjoy the journey and all the opportunities that I get with the people I love and help me be the best I can be. It’s about being here and having fun. In front of this crowd more Playing on a beautiful court – nothing is better.
“I’ve had ups and downs and everything in between in this journey. There are a lot of things that have led to this point and playing in the final at Wimbledon on Saturday will be the best thing ever.”
Barty, who has yet to miss a set in these championships, entered the clinch of powerful hitting mixed with soft touches around the net, and her chubby game proved too much for her opponent.
Three-time Grand Slam winner Kerber, seeded 25th for this tournament, kept the entire match close and had only a break of serve in the first as Barty stole the lead.
Barty will face Karolina Pliskova in Saturday’s showpiece final after the Czech defeated Arya Sabalenka 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 in a Wimbledon thriller.
Both players were taking part in their first Wimbledon semi-finals, but there was no sign of any panic as the two big hitters exchanged some brutal rallies.
Pliskova’s serve looked pitiful from the start, but a double fault when set point down at 30-40 surprisingly handed Sabalenka the opening set.
Always so calm and collected on the court, Pliskova looked somewhat sad as she went back to her chair, perhaps surprised at how suddenly the set turned away from her.
However, she certainly showed no signs of overcoming her despair and came out on a mission early in the second set.
Both of these players are known for their powerful ground strokes, but as the quality of tennis continued to improve, both showed remarkable finesse around the net, with Pliskova notably winning incredible back-to-back rallies. Showed a smart touch.
The Czech eventually got a serve break of her game in the fifth game of the second set and eventually managed to grind the remainder of the set to level the match.
Pliskova started the third set in the same vein, breaking Sabalenka in her opening service game; The Belorussian, who is certainly more animated on the court than his opponent, began to show some dismay at first.
While Pliskova was serving 30-15 for the match, Sabalenka hit a ball towards the baseline which was dismissed by the line judge. Sabalenka chose not to challenge, which proved to be a mistake as the ball did indeed hit the line.
This gave Pliskova match points, which she converted in her first attempt with another ace to book her place in her second Grand Slam final, where she would expect a better go than Kerber lost at the US Open. 2016.
