Physically exhausted Jasmine Paolini and emotionally drained Barbora Krejcikova are meeting on Wimbledon's famed Centre Court Saturday afternoon to cap what's been a gripping ladies draw.
Paolini is gunning for her first major tile while Krejcikova hopes to add a second Grand Slam trophy to her mantle that includes the 2021 French Open singles championship.
The match is televised by ESPN and streamed on WatchESPN and ESPN+. The bookmakers list Krejcikova as a slight favorite.
Paolini, 28, reached her second consecutive Grand Slam final via a grueling, 2-6, 6-4, 7-6 (10-8) semifinal win over Donna Vekić on Thursday.
The first Italian to ever reach a Wimbledon singles final, Paolini, will surely be running on fumes following that penultimate match which lasted 2 hours and 51 minutes.
