Tale of the Tape: Venus Williams vs. Garbine Muguruza

Venus Williams and Garbine Muguruza are both at very different spots in their respective careers, with 14 years between them. But one of the Grand Slam champions will add another major to their trophy case when they become the 2017 Wimbledon winner at the All England Club on Saturday.

Neither player has faced much trouble during their runs to the final, with both Williams and Muguruza dropping just one set along the way.

“I have one more match that I’d like to, you know, be the winner of,” Williams said. “I like to take courage in the fact that I’ve been playing well this tournament and this year and that all these moments have led to this.”

Williams has already won five titles in London. But Muguruza, who lost to Venus’ sister Serena in the Wimbledon final two years ago, is seeking her first Venus Rosewater Dish.

“All the great champions has won this tournament,” Muguruza said, adding that she always looks at the wall that lists the names of past Wimbledon winners. “I would like to see my name there, hopefully.”
