Serena Williams vs Simona Halep, Wimbledon women's final: What time is it and where can I watch it?

Williams, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, is playing in her 11th final at the All England Club

Serena Williams faces Simona Halep in today’s Wimbledon final as she targets a 24th Grand Slam title.

Williams is trying to equal the record for most Grand Slam singles titles won in tennis history. Margaret Court holds that record with 24, but 13 of her trophies came during the amateur era, while all of Williams’ have come after professionals were admitted to major tournaments in 1968.

At Wimbledon, Williams is a seven-time champion who will be playing in her 11th final. Simona Halep, a former No 1 who won the French Open last year, will be in her first final at the All England Club.

In 10 previous matches between the two, Williams has won nine times.

Williams booked her place in the final after cruising past Barbora Strycova while Halep secured her spot with a similarly commanding win over Elina Svitolina.

What time does it start?

The women’s final gets underway on Centre Court at 2pm on Saturday 13 July.

Where can I watch it?

BBC One will be broadcasting the final, with coverage starting at 1pm. Those on the go will also be able to watch the match via the BBC Sport app.
