Few would have predicted today's final at Wimbledon but both Barbora Krejcikova and Jasmine Paolini have come through tough draws to reach the showpiece event. Having traditionally struggled on grass and never previously advanced beyond the fourth round at SW19, 28-year-old Krejcikova has enjoyed a remarkable run. She knocked out seeds in the last-16 and quarter-finals and showed incredible resolve to come back from a set down to eliminate former champion Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals. 

Paolini has been equally impressive at the All-England Club, defeating powerful hitters Madison Keys and Emma Navarro before coming through a tense final set tie break to overcome Donna Vekic. The 28-year-old Italian has taken her game to new heights since reaching the final of the French Open last month and having never previously won a match at Wimbledon has now won six in a row. 

After a brilliant first set from Krejcikova who took it 6-2, Paolini responded in style by claiming two breaks of serve to take the second set 6-2 and force a deciding set. Who will up their game in the final set and claim victory?
