Halep vs Serena, Djokovic vs Federer

A look back to last year, when the singles finals brought together top seeds Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer and former world number ones Serena Williams and Simona Halep.

Williams is looking to land her first Grand Slam title since returning from maternity leave, knowing that success would see her equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles. The American had won nine of her ten meetings with Halep, but the Romanian has been a different proposition since winning her first Grand Slam title at the previous year’s French Open.

Roger Federer is also looking to make history by becoming the first man to win nine Wimbledon singles titles. But he is up against top seed Novak Djokovic, himself a four-time Wimbledon champion and a player renowned for his powers of endurance. What follows is a spectacle full of drama, excitement and astonishing tennis.
