With no top-10 seeds advancing to the quarterfinals for the first time in a Grand Slam during the Open Era, Williams’ path to the final appeared clear. She sealed her spot with a straight set win over No. 13 Julia Goerges on Thursday. It will be her first Wimbledon final since she won it in 2016, missing last year due to her pregnancy.
Kerber previously lost to Williams in that 2016 final, the only other Wimbledon final she has competed in. Williams holds a 6-2 record with Kerber heading into the match on Saturday.
The match is set for 9 a.m. ET on Saturday, and it will be broadcast on ESPN. Live streaming of the match is available on WatchESPN and the ESPN App.
Kerber defeated No. 12 Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets in her semifinal to secure a spot in the final. Ostapenko was the highest-seeded opponent Kerber faced throughout her run to the final. She defeated all of her opponents except one in straight sets, with her second-round match against Claire Liu going three sets.
Williams advanced to her 10th Wimbledon final with her win over Goerges. She has only dropped one set during the tournament to this point. Her quarterfinal match against Camila Giorgi extended to three sets after Williams dropped the opener.
