So it's here ! The ladies final starts in about 10 minutes and it doesn't come as a surprise to nobody that Serene Williams is one of the usual suspects for the ocasion. On the other side of the net is Angelique Kerber (GER) and she is in a incredible form. Is this going to be a replay of the final from 2016 when Williams destroyed Kerber 2-0 to take the title ?
Serena Williams
Currently the 23 Grand Slam holder is at 181 place in the WTA Ranking and obviously that is not important, because this ranking is far from reality. The reason for this ranking is that Williams took a maternity leave and didn't play for the first half of the year. (only in some majors)
The main weapons of Williams are the incredibly big SERVE and her forehand.
Angelique Kerber
Currently at 10th place Kerber is once again against Williams, on a Grand Slam, in a final. The german is in an very good form and has the potential to win this one because she has done it before !
The Verdict
I think that at 2.62 Odd a win for Kerber is a very good pick. I think this final is 50/50 and everything over 2.00 odd for one of them is a acceptable. Both players are extremely physical and mentally stable. It all will come down to if Serena's serve will function.
My Pick
Kerber to win the match @2.62
