What a cracking tournament we have been served up in 2017! Few would have predicted this final when the draw was made, but it looks a cracker on paper now we're here.

Williams will be venturing onto Centre Court for a final for the ninth time in her career - the first was 17 year's ago! Muguruza was just seven years old that day, and was just four when Williams played her first match on these courts. Since those days, Williams has won the title five times, and been runner-up a further three times. Not bad considering the prescence of her sister through the lions' share of those years. She has also claimed six doubles titles for good measure.

Having reached the final without losing a set, Williams will be desperate to claim what could well be her final Grand Slam - time must surely be running out for her soon, so she will be extra motivated.

Muguruza is playing her second final here - losing to the younger Williams sister in 2015. She's been pretty impressive this season as well, dropping just a single set - but that came against Angelique Kerber, so it's easy to forgive that. She was absolutely supreme against Rybarikova in the semi-final, so will provide a stern test. The bookies cannot separate the pair, and we're inclined to agree with that assessment.

Instead, we'll head to the Double Faults market. Muguruza serves around 4.5% of her service points as double faults, while Venus Williams is close to 6.5% across the season.

Williams is a clear favourite on those stats, but to see her chalked up at just 1/3, and Muguruza at 4/1 looks a big overreaction. This market can often be won on low margins and would only take a couple of waywards serves to see Muguruza serve the most.

Muguruza to serve the most Double Faults at 4/1
