Last January, Serena Williams vs. Angelique Kerber would not have seemed like a dream final, but at Wimbledon 2016 it’s a genuine blockbuster sequel. It’s a battle of the top two players in the world with contrasting skills who have rolled through everyone else in the bracket.

Serena, of course, is the leading star. She’s got 21 major championships and needs one more to tie the legendary Steffi Graf. She’s also lost her previous two appearances in major finals, the French Open to Garbine Muguruza and the Australian Open to Kerber.

"I think for anyone else in this whole planet, it would be a wonderful accomplishment," Serena explained in ESPN upon reaching her third major final. "For me, it's about obviously holding the trophy and winning, which would make it a better accomplishment for me. For me, it's not enough. But I think that's what makes me different. That's what makes me Serena."

Unlike most Serena victims in recent years, Kerber comes in having defeated Serena at a major final, and she’s proving that it was no fluke.

"It’s just a very good feeling," Kerber said in the Guardian after defeating Venus Williams in the semifinals. "I’m enjoying my tennis, I am playing the best tennis of my life and enjoying myself."

It will be Serena's offensive power vs. Kerber’s defensive wizardry. Righty vs. lefty. The Queen trying to avenge her conqueror’s greatest triumph.

Time to break down their strengths, weaknesses and possibilities for a spectacular final.
