Wimbledon 2016: Serena Williams faces Angelique Kerber in women's final

World number one Serena Williams will take on newbie Angelique Kerber in the Wimbledon Women singles final at London. Serena will be looking to equal Steffi Graf’s record of 22 Grand Slam titles. Serena, who crushed Elena Vesnina 6-2 6-0 to reach finals, has lost both the Grand Slam finals player earlier this year.

Although Williams leads the head-to-head between the pair 5-2. Kerber had claimed the first major in Melbourne, beating the American 6-4 3-6 6-4. In past two weeks, Williams has dominated her opponents on the grass court.   

Over the last two weeks she has barely put a foot wrong, dropping just one set and cruising to a semi-final win in only 48 minutes.

Kerber will play in her first final at Wimbledon and it will be Williams' ninth appearance.

Although Kerber will be considered the underdog, the fourth seed has reason to believe she can cause an upset. The German is yet to drop a set at this year's Championships and will provide a much tougher test for Williams than anyone she's faced so far.

Williams will attempts to equal, and eventually overtake, the former world No 1's Grand Slam record. In a way, Kerber ensured to become world No 2 for the first time in her career after reaching finals.
