The 2021 Wimbledon Championship is all set to host this year’s women’s single final. The much-awaited battle will see World No.1 Ashleigh Barty take on former World No.1, Karolina Pliskova. Both players enter the final’s riding high on confidence, on the back of two excellent wins; however, only one can get her hands on the ultimate prize.

Australian superstar, Barty, put on an attacking masterclass in the semi-finals, garnering worldwide attention on the center stage. Beating Germany’s Angelique Kerber in straight sets, she sent out a statement to anyone who doubted her caliber. Throughout the tournament, she has been in fine form, living up to her No. 1 rank.

Karolina on the other end has impressed fans equally. Fighting against an Aryna Sabalenka driven by her youthful energy, the Czech national found her way back into the game. In spite of losing the first set, she kept counter-attacking against Aryna’s drive, winning more smartly thought points than hard-fought ones.

Recently announced, James Kethavong, will be the chair umpire for the all-important women’s singles final.

Given the recent form of both the players, the odds are pretty even on both sides. However, a difference in strength and familiarity with each other’s weaknesses can help get the better of the other.

Ashleigh’s dominance was seen through and through as she took less than an hour and a half to demolish Kerber. Witnessing the emphatic display, the crowd stood on their feet, escorting Ashleigh into the final.
