Serena Williams vs Simona Halep
Wimbledon final
Date: July 13, 2019
Start time: 2pm BST, Centre Court
Serena Williams has found her form at the best possible time as she aims to win Wimbledon for an eighth time and seal a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title.
Simona Halep is into her first SW19 showpiece, looking to add the plate to the French Open crown she won last year, and has dropped just one set throughout the tournament.
The numbers are against Halep and this is a Serena who has grown from strength to strength during the fortnight. Can Halep become the first Romanian to win Wimbledon?
