Where to watch live

The women's singles final starts at 7pm BST. Live TV coverage will be available on BT Sport 2 and 2 HD.

Overview

Konta made history to become the first British woman to reach the final at the Miami Open and is guaranteed to return to the top-10 in the world rankings. The Briton saw off Venus Williams in the semi-finals 6-4, 7-5 – it was Konta's third straight victory over the former world number one.

The 25-year-old is looking for her second title of the season after winning the Sydney International earlier in the year. The British women's number one also made it to the quarter-finals of the Australian Open before losing to Serena Williams.

Wozniacki has also found form in recent months and came through to the final after beating second seed Karolina Pliskova 5-7, 6-1, 6-1. The Dane has made two finals and one quarter-finals in her last three tournaments, but is yet to win a title this season.

Konta and Wozniacki are two of the form players on the WTA Tour in 2017; the Briton is 18-3 this season while the Dane is 23-6.

What players say

Johanna Konta: "I'm definitely going to be looking forward to playing a lot of balls and a lot of tough points. She's one of the best athletes in the game. She ran a marathon for goodness sake.

I'm sure it'll be a match where I'll be running for a lot of balls but hopefully we'll give a great match for the final," via Sky Sports.

Head-to-head

The duo have faced each other for the first time in the round of 32 at the Australian Open in 2017 where the Briton won 6-3, 6-1.
