Garbine Muguruza, 23 - who was beaten by Serena Williams in the 2015 Wimbledon final - faces Venus Williams on Saturday. And now Venus, no longer poor young V now that she is 37, tries to make even more, in one more Wimbledon final.

Martinez became the only Spanish woman to win Wimbledon in 1994 and her soothing words of wisdom have guided Muguruza to her third Grand Slam final. Williams has been one of the most successful female players at the All England Tennis and Croquet Club winning a stupendous 5 singles titles. Wimbledon's oldest female champion of all time is Charlotte Sterry, the 1908 victor.

In 2003, with the Venus-Serena combine truly reigning over the women's game, the elder sister had her first serious injury (abdomen) - she dropped outside the top-ten for the first time since 1997. She missed some big tournaments and made several early exits at the majors. She says raising her baby with the same values her parents instilled in her, and providing him or her with a great life, is her main priority going forward. Williams of course skipped the grass warm-up events but has a natural ease on the surface and her record here needs no explanation.

The oldest woman to win a major title is Venus' little sister, Serena Williams.

Williams and her fiancé, Reddit co-founder Alexis Ohanian, announced her pregnancy in April, but have not hinted at the baby's gender. "I had the hardest match against such an incredible player". I don't think I could ever be that nervous.

"For me it's just about betting on myself every time".

Williams arrived in England a few weeks after being involved in a two-car accident in Florida; not long afterward, a passenger in the other vehicle died.

She has tried, coach David Witt said, to "just focus on the tennis". On the first set point, a 20-stroke exchange ended when Williams blinked first, putting a forehand into the net.

"It goes a lot also with the strength of your body, your style of game".

Wade, meanwhile, said Konta should be proud of her run.

"I've played a lot of finals here", Williams told the BBC.

Williams took down No. 27 Ana Konjuh in the fourth round, French Open victor Jelena Ostapenko in the quarterfinals and sixth seed Johanna Konta in the semifinals.

"That's one of the reasons I don't play singles anymore because I don't want to put my body through the struggles anymore", Hingis said. I thought she handled it well.

"I think we both know and felt how are our games".

Venus Williams vs Garbine Muguruza is scheduled for a 2pm BST, 3pm CET, 6.30pm IST, 9am ET, 11pm AEDT start. "The last time she played Serena so I'll have to ask Serena for some pointers", informed Venus.

"Not my best day", Rybarikova said. Jo gave it her all. She lost to Serena Williams with the title on the line at Wimbledon in 2015, then beat her at Roland Garros previous year.

I'll side with Venus here. "Serena's always in my corner".

Williams has seen it all before, and at the age of 37, she is playing some of the best tennis of her career.
