The 2021 Wimbledon Finals matchup will be a great one, so when does it begin, and how can you watch the contest?
After almost two weeks and many impressive matches, the 2021 Wimbledon Finals are set for the women’s side. World No. 1 Ashleigh Barty of Australia cruised her way into the finale, where she faces Karolina Pliskova from Czechia. This matchup features two women who haven’t made it this far in the grass tournament before.
Despite both players making their first appearance in the final round at Wimbledon, Barty holds the advantage in terms of experience. She’s won a major before, so she understands how big this moment is. On the other hand, this is Pliskova’s first time making the final round of a major, which could be a factor when the match enters its more tense stages.
One thing to watch in this matchup are the serves. Both players will need to start each game with an effective serve to establish control on the court. Barty has used this aspect of her game well as she marches toward a Wimbledon title, so it will be important for Pliskova to return and stay aggressive afterward. If she can do that and serve the ball well herself, it could be an interesting contest in the final stages.
