The world's number 1 female tennis player Ashleigh Barty has secured a place in the Wimbledon final against the Czech Republic's Karolina Pliskova. The 2 women will compete for the coveted Ladies' Singles Trophy on Saturday, and Aussie tennis fans couldn't be more excited.

Who will win the Wimbledon women's final 2021?

Ash Barty came into the tournament as world number 1 and the top overall seed. Karolina Pliskova is currently ranked 13th in the world and is seeded eighth. In other words, this is definitely Barty's match to lose.

If Barty proves triumphant, it will be her second grand slam title following her win at the 2019 French Open. You can check out the full list of previous winners in our Wimbledon tennis guide.
