Sixth seed Konta, 26, had hoped to become the first British woman in a Wimbledon singles final since 1977.
She will break into the top five for the first time in the next rankings.
Williams is the oldest Grand Slam singles finalist since Martina Navratilova finished runner-up at Wimbledon in 1994.
The American, through to her ninth final, won her first Wimbledon title in 2000 and the most recent of her seven major victories came on Centre Court in 2008.
Congratulations Serena!!!!
