Why watch the ladies’ singles finals at Wimbledon? First, both finalists are female. So it’s not just a rematch of the men’s final, where one of them is expected to be victorious. Second, when was the last time that Serena and Maria faced off for anything other than a magazine cover or endorsement deal? If you want to see two tennis titans battle in peaceful sisterhood after years of cordial rivalry, this is your match. And if you’re sick of watching women play tennis in skirts and heels while grunting like Clydesdales mid-workout, strap on some sneakers and come out to Wimbledon (and don’t worry about making it back in time for Kevin Spacey).
The fact that they are the best players is just icing on the cake.
This year’s Wimbledon ladies’ singles finals are scheduled for Saturday, July 5th at 2 PM ET. This will be Serena’s second attempt at her fifth consecutive Wimbledon title, after being thwarted in spectacular fashion by Garbiñe Muguruza earlier this summer. Maria Sharapova has not won a Grand Slam since defeating Serena in the 2006 Wimbledon final, but she is looking to become only the third woman ever to win all four majors in her career , with recent wins at both Roland Garros and the French Open bringing her tantalizingly close to that mark. Meanwhile, with his five-set victory over Novak Djokovic two days ago, gentlemen’s singles finalist Roger Federer now has the opportunity to tie Pete Sampras’s record of seven Wimbledon titles and take sole possession of it (he is currently tied with William Renshaw and 1880s gentleman’s singles champion William Ewart Gladstone).
Whether you’re watching for the historical significance, to be part of what might turn out to be a historic landmark match in women’s sports history, or just because you want to see Serena get back on track after that tough loss this summer, you should watch what promises to be an epic battle between two fantastic athletes.
