Wimbledon 2021 order of play: What time does Ashleigh Barty vs Karolina Pliskova women’s final start?

World No 1 Ashleigh Barty faces Karolina Pliskova in the women’s singles final at Wimbledon on Saturday.

Barty, who won at Wimbledon as a junior in 2011, has not dropped a set since the opening round and raised her game once again to defeat 2017 champion Angelique Kerber in the previous round.

“I get the chance on Saturday to live out a total dream,” the Australian said after that victory. “This is incredible. This is as close to a good tennis match I will play. Angie brought the best out of me and I knew I had to be at my best.”

Pliskova, a former world No 1 herself, had never previously made it past the fourth round at Wimbledon and insisted her hopes were just to reach the second week ahead of the tournament. However, she coasted into the semi-finals without dropping a set and then tamed the immense power of No 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka as the Czech aims to win the first grand slam of her career.

“Until now, I hadn’t passed the fourth round and now I’m in the final,” said Pliskova. “I think it’s an incredible achievement. It was an amazing match from both of us.” Here is everything you need to know:
