The two standout players at this year's Wimbledon will do battle in a Grand Slam final for the second time this year.
Serena Williams, the top seed and defending champion will be going for her 22nd Grand Slam singles title, which she desperately craves since lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish for the sixth time against Garbiñe Muguruza in last year's final.
Angelique Kerber will be Williams' opponent and the German has not dropped a set throughout the Championships, and she gained an impressive win over Serena's older sister Venus, a former five-time champion in the semifinals.
Since winning her 21st Grand Slam singles title last year, Williams suffered a shock defeat at the hands of Roberta Vinci in the semifinals of the US Open which Williams was bitterly disappointed as she was two wins away from completing the first Calendar Year Grand Slam since 1988 and tying Steffi Graf's Open Era record of 22.
The world number one decided to shut down her season, to heal niggling injuries and she was a woman on a mission at the Australian Open as the defending champion but lost to Kerber in three sets.
Williams reached the French Open final last month but lost to Muguruza in straight sets, and it was the first time that Williams lost back-to-back Grand Slam finals.
The German has struggled to get good results since winning the Australian Open, as she had more media obligations to attend to and she was the second best-ranked player in the world for a short period of time.
This time the German will handle the experience differently if she wins her second Grand Slam singles title.
Kerber spent some time training in Las Vegas with her compatriot Graf and her husband, Andre Agassi who won all four Grand Slam titles in his career and after that trip to Las Vegas, Kerber has been mentally tougher on court.
This final between the pair will be the first time since 2006 that two of the same players contest a Grand Slam final against each other. Ironically it also occurred at the Australian Open and Wimbledon between Amelie Mauresmo and Justine Henin and the Frenchwoman prevailed both times.
Serena's route to the final
Williams' path to the final has been fairly routine except for one blip in the second round.
The defending champion began her campaign with a straight sets victory against Swiss qualifier Amra Sadikovic 6-2, 6-4 on Centre Court as for the sixth time in her career, she opened up play on Centre Court on the first Tuesday as having the privilege of doing that as being the defending champion.
In the second round, Williams overcame her compatriot Christina McHale 6-7, 6-2, 6-4 and the top seed had created a set point but failed to convert it and subsequently dropped the opening set but finished off the match strongly.
Williams' third round match was played on Middle Sunday against Kerber's compatriot Annika Beck and Williams thrashed the Geman 6-3, 6-0 despite being a break down in the early stages.
The match was played on Middle Sunday as the tournament had a backlog of matches to complete and measures were taken to ensure that the Championships finished on time.
The American's win over Beck was a significant victory as the 21-time Grand Slam winner recorded her 300th win at Grand Slams, which is a remarkable achievement.
Williams had a difficult fourth round match with 13th seed Svetlana Kuznetsova as the two-time Slam winner had beaten Williams at the Miami Open this year and at a slam before.
Despite having a 3-1 lead in the first set, the American's game became filled with errors and she eventually found herself a break behind.
The Russian had the opportunity to have the first set in her pocket as she had the chance to serve for it at 5-4 but failed to do so, and she ultimately failed to win another game.
The match continued under the roof on Centre Court and a determined Williams won the match 7-5, 6-0 to advance to her 12th Grand Slam quarterfinal.
Williams played another two Russians in the quarterfinals and semifinals respectively and boasted flawless head-to-head records against both opponents.
Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova the 21st seed was competing in her third Grand Slam quarterfinal and the first one since the 2011 US Open which she lost to Williams on that occasion and she equipped herself well in this match but the American was victorious 6-4, 6-4.
Contesting her 10th Wimbledon semifinal, Williams thrashed Elena Vesnina 6-2, 6-0 in 48 minutes.
Kerber's route to the final
The Australian Open champion's passage through to her second Grand Slam final of 2016 has been impressive as she hasn't dropped a set.
The German began her campaign on No.1 Court against Britain's Laura Robson 6-2, 6-2, avenging the loss she suffered to the Brit at the same stage, five years ago.
The 2012 semifinalist faced off against fellow lefty, Varvara Lepchenko on Court 18 and she was victorious 6-1, 6-4 in the second round.
One of Kerber's toughest match was against her compatriot Carina Witthoeft in the third round.
The German was 3-1 up in the first set but Witthoeft reeled off four consecutive games to take a 5-3 lead and serve for the first set but she failed to serve it out and Kerber took it to a tiebreak.
The German saved multiple set points in the tiebreak and she eventually took it and ran away with the match in the second set, recording a 7-6, 6-1 victory.
Unlucky Williams, Kerber had Middle Sunday off and she returned on Monic Monday to play a familiar face, Misaki Doi. Doi had a match point against Kerber in the first round of the Australian Open and the fourth seed admitted that she had "one foot on the plane" but she eventually came through that match and won the tournament.
This fourth round match was less dramatic and Kerber took it 6-3, 6-1 to reach her third Wimbledon quarterfinal.
Kerber's quarterfinal clash with fifth seed Simona Halep was impressive but both players struggled to hold serve as they are both fine returners, however, Kerber came through that match with the 2014 semifinalist in two tight sets, 7-5, 7-6.
In her fourth Grand Slam semifinal, Kerber played eighth seed Venus Williams and in the early goings of that contest both players exchanged breaks before the German was able to consolidate her break and won the match 6-4, 6-4.
Kerber on the final against Serena
The Australian Open champion expects a tough match with Serena, "I expect for sure, a really tough match, I know that she will go out and try to beat me, especially because she lost against me in Australia."
Kerber acknowledges how dangerous Serena is on grass, "On grass she is always dangerous, I think she won here so many times, she will go for it, I know this, I have to play one of my best tennis matches tomorrow."
She also talks up her chances on doing better on the grass than hard courts, "For me it's really good that I'm a lefty, When I have not too many nerves, I can serve a little bit better. This makes me much more dangerous than on hard."
The fourth seed mentions her movement, "Also I'm feeling good for my movement on grass, I really like to move on grass and just go for it when I have the chance going down the line."
Serena on the final against Kerber
The defending champion was asked to describe the final in Melbourne, "I made a lot of errors, she made little to no unforced erros, it was still a three set match. I felt like I could have played better. I felt like she played great, she came out swinging, ready to win, she was fearless, that's something I learned, when I go into a final, I too need to be fearless like she was. It was inspiring afterwards to realise there's a lot of things that I need to improve on."
The world number one talked about being supportive to her opponent no matter if she wins or loses in the final, "It would be a good match, whether I win or lose, I'm always supportive of our champions, So I think once I'm on the court, I'm really intense and I give everything I can. When the moment's over, I try to be as positive as I can at that moment."
Breakdown of their rivalry
Williams and Kerber have faced off seven times and all of their meetings have taken place on hard courts with the world number one leading their head-to-head series 5-2.
Their first meeting took place in the first round of the US Open in 2007 which Williams won 6-3, 7-5 and Kerber levelled their head-to-head by winning their match in the quarterfinals of the Western and Southern Open, 6-4, 6-4.
Williams would go on to win their next four meetings, twice in straight sets at the WTA Championships in 2012 and 2013, and in the quarterfinals of the Miami Open and final in Stanford in 2014.
Kerber won their most recent and only meeting to go the distance at the Australian Open in final, winning that 6-4, 3-6, 6-4.
Who wins the Championship?
Williams comes into this match as the overwhelming favourite and she will be determined to win her first Grand Slam title of the year.
Kerber will need to play the match of her life, like she did in the Australian Open earlier this year and display attacking tennis and produce that forehand down the line.
Williams is a good returner and Kerber's prone to serving weak second serves and dishing out double faults but the German can go toe-to-toe with Williams by staying in long baseline rallies.
The world number one could blow Kerber off the court, if her serve is working and her serve works perfectly on the lawns of Wimbledon compared to hard and clay courts.
The German had the opportunity to become world number one for the first time in her career but those hopes were dashed once Williams reached the final.
Kerber moves well on grass and she could get a few breaks if Williams' serve breaks down due to nerves.
The American is pulling double duty on Saturday as she has reached her 14th Grand Slam doubles final with her sister Venus and they are unbeaten in Grand Slam doubles finals.
Williams' net game will be sharpened because of the doubles and that could be key in this contest.
The American will be hoping to hoist the Venus Rosewater Dish for an impressive seventh time.
Can Williams win her 22nd Grand Slam title or will Kerber win her second?
This intriguing final takes play on Centre Court at 2pm local time.
Prediction: Williams in straight sets
