Women's Final Preview:
Serena is chasing history. She's only two major titles away from tying the great Steffi Graf, who has 22 major titles. She's looking to complete the "Serena" slam and win and hold all four major titles in a row. If she wins the final, she'll be looking to complete the calendar year slam by winning all four major titles for the first time since Steffi Graf in 1988.

Serena currently holds a 2-1 edge all-time against Muguruza. In their first meeting, Serena cruised to an easy 6-2, 6-0 win in the second round of the 2013 Australian Open. In their second meeting, Muguruza did the unthinkable and destroyed Serena 6-2, 6-0 in the second round at last year's French Open. In their latest meeting, Serena returned the favor by defeating Muguruza 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the round of 16 in the Australian Open this year.

Serena has the complete package with her serve, defense, volleying, serve, and finesse. She is very aggressive and uses her power to pin her opponents back with her hard, flat, and deep groundstrokes. She also does a great job of wearing down opponents by running them back and forth.

For Muguruza, she will try to beat Serena to the punch and hit balls with depth to get her on defense. We saw this in the quarterfinal match against Azarenka. Azarenka didn't win, but she was able to push Serena to a third set. If Muguruza can get it to that point, let the chips fall where they may.

Muguruza has a nice and aggressive game that is being rewarded nicely. However, this match is on Serena. If Serena plays at her best, or anywhere near her best, she will win. However, if she plays as lethargic as last year's French Open, Muguruza will pull off the upset.
