Summary
Serena Williams has drawn level with Steffi Graf on 22 Grand Slam titles, and the Tennis Podcast team got together to pay tribute to her.
The Telegraph's Tennis Correspondent Simon Briggs joined BBC 5 Live commentator David Law and Eurosport presenter Catherine Whitaker to review a highly entertaining clash between Williams and Angelique Kerber, and speculate about how many major titles the American will end up with.
After that it was on to the men's final, in which Andy Murray will try to win a second Wimbledon title, and Milos Raonic his first. Where will the match be won and lost? How many sets are we in for? And who will hold the trophy aloft at the end?
It's all discussed on the Tennis Podcast, which is produced in association with Telegraph Sport.
David Law will be part of the BBC 5 Live commentary team on the men's singles final, which takes place at 2pm on Sunday.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

| 0:05.2 | San Roenka. I'm Lighten Hutt. I'm Andy Murray and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.0 | Well, hello and welcome to the tennis podcast brought to you in association with the |
| 0:23.7 | Telegraph on Women's Finals Day. It has been and gone and we are here to look back at it myself. |
| 0:30.8 | David Law from BBC Radio 5 Live joined of course by the Telegraph's Simon Briggs, |
| 0:36.1 | tennis correspondent extraordinaire Catherine Whitaker will be along shortly. But Simon, |
| 0:41.7 | that was a really good final first things first. It was terrific. Yeah, I think |
| 0:47.6 | Serena played at her best, Kerber played at her best and couldn't really lay a finger on her but |
| 0:52.3 | made it match competitive. So it was 81 minutes but I don't think anyone would be suggesting that |
| 0:57.9 | they wanted their money back after that because it was a really top entertainment. In fact, |
| 1:01.6 | I think the men's final will have its work cut out to live up to that tomorrow. Yeah, no, it's a fair |
| 1:06.8 | point isn't it? But what I did notice at the same time as it was excellent entertainment and |
| 1:11.8 | highly competitive, I think at one stage towards the end of that second set, I tweeted that this is |
| 1:18.1 | a contender potentially for match of the year if it carries on. Suddenly two games later, |
| 1:23.2 | four massive serves, it's over and that was Serena at her best. Yeah, there was no particular |
| 1:28.7 | sort of dramatic narrative but it was just very very good quality and because Kerber held a lot |
| 1:33.3 | of service games it meant that it wasn't the walk over by any means. I thought a couple of times |
| 1:40.8 | that she had Serena looking anxious. There was a couple of forehands on the first set, |
| 1:45.2 | just dumped in the net I thought maybe she's going to wake those demons. We're going to bring back |
| 1:51.2 | the memories of the three grand slams since her last win here last year. But I guess Serena was |
| 1:59.2 | just feeling so good that she managed to keep the lid on all that and never really got behind |
| 2:05.4 | in any of the sets. I mean I think Kerber was serving first and second set wasn't she? But |
