Jeremy Eckstein of Bleacher Report seemed a little torn when he talked about this finals match between Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber.
Eckstein notes that Williams is in much better shape right now compared to how she was in the same stage at Roland Garros last month. The history-seeking American has been playing with a sense of purpose throughout the tournament. But her power, aggression and experience, in particular, are the things that should lead her to victory over the German.
Still, Kerber will at least make it really tough on the World No. 1, according to Eckstein. The World No. 4 is arguably playing her best tennis right now and will be overflowing with confidence. She’s also won all of her previous 12 sets heading into this showdown with Serena.

The consensus is the same over at the Telegraph. They are expecting Serena Williams to win her seventh title at Wimbledon, but needless to say, it’s going to be easier said than done.
Williams has been playing phenomenally in the tournament. She’s dropped just one set to fellow American Christina McHale in the second round. Other than that, the World No. 1 has powered her way to victories with an onslaught of massive serves.
However, Angelique Kerber is one of those rare players who can neutralize Serena’s power-driven attack. The German pro knows how to hit passing shots on the run, and is more than capable of keeping up with Williams during rallies. A proof of that was during Kerber’s stunning upset over Serena in the finals at the 2016 Australian Open.

Well, the people here also went with the favorite (and boring) choice: Serena Williams.
Interestingly though, they’re expecting a commanding victory for Williams, who holds a 5-2 head-to-head record against Angelique Kerber. The 34-year-old American is looking for revenge and will be full of emotions in entering this blockbuster showdown. Her incredible service game, in particular, should already cause a lot of trouble for the German star all throughout.
