Overview

Kvitova progressed into her second Wimbledon final in the last four years after registering a sixth straight victory against her compatriot Lucie Safarova in the semi-final on Thursday.

The 24-year-old clinched the match, 7-6 (6), 6-1, in straight sets needing one hour 20 minutes. The women's no 6 has already tasted victory at SW19 in 2011, winning her only Grand Slam title till date.

The Czech Republican has more experience coming into this year's final and Bouchard stands on the opposite side of the net in-between to quash her hopes of lifting the crown once again.

The young Canadian has shown all the signs of being a future champion in the last few months having reached the semi-finals of the Australian Open and the Roland Garros.

The women's no 13 upset third seed and women's no 3, Simon Halep in the previous round in straight sets, 7-6 (5), 6-2, needing 94 minutes.

The 20-year-old's victory ensured that for the second year running a player ranked among the top five failed to go through to the final. She has maintained a clean streak in the tournament so far without dropping a set in any of her six matches.

But the same can't be said of Kvitova, who had to overcome five-time Wimbledon champion Venus Williams in the third round. The duo matched each other toe-to-toe and all three sets went into a tie-breaker, where the 34-year-old was eventually sent packing.

Bouchard too has winning experience at the All England Club having lifted the Junior Singles title in 2012. She will be hoping to garner all the strength at her command to win her first Grand Slam title in the first attempt.
