Wimbledon 2016 Women's Final: TV Schedule, Start Time and Live Stream Info

No. 1 Serena Williams and No. 4 Angelique Kerber will meet in a Grand Slam final for the second time this year on Saturday at Wimbledon, and Serena will look to both avenge her Australian Open loss and win her 22nd career Grand Slam title in the process.

Williams is 0-2 in Grand Slam finals this year, but she is seemingly in her best form yet after a dominant semifinal performance. While Kerber has proven to be a tough matchup for her, Serena is in prime position to tie Steffi Graf for the most major titles in the Open era.

Ahead of Saturday's highly anticipated final, here is a full rundown of how to watch all the action and predictions for how the contest will play out.

Where: All England Club in London

When: Saturday, July 9 at 9 a.m. ET

Watch: ESPN

Serena Williams

Serena punched her ticket to a third Grand Slam final this year with a convincing 6-2, 6-0 drubbing of Elena Vesnina on Thursday.

Williams has steadily improved since fellow American Christina McHale pushed her to three sets in the second round, and her semifinal performance suggests that she is on top of her game and in ideal position to get back on championship track.

According to Wimbledon's official Twitter account, the fact that Serena fell to Kerber and Garbine Muguruza, respectively, in the two previous 2016 Grand Slam finals has her even more locked in at All England Club: "I can't believe I am in the finals again. I am 0-for-2 this year so I am determined to get at least one."

A win on Saturday would be historic, but simply reaching the final further cemented Williams' spot in the history books as well, per ESPN Stats & Info:

Making history is important to the 34-year-old veteran, and she made that clear with her comment on Thursday regarding where she stands among the greatest athletes to ever compete, according to Owen Gibson of the Guardian:

Due to Serena's dominance in women's tennis, the argument can already be made that she is one of the best athletes ever, but tying Graf would help cement that notion.

As seen in this video via Wimbledon on Twitter, Williams won't be satisfied with her third consecutive runner-up finish:

There is still little doubt that Serena is the No. 1 player in women's tennis, but she has struggled to finish the job against seemingly inferior opponents.

It began at last year's U.S. Open, when she was shockingly ousted by Roberta Vinci, and 2016 has been a continuation of that.

One victory in a Grand Slam final could turn everything around and send her on a path toward another Olympic gold medal and U.S. Open title, and that opportunity will present itself against Kerber on Saturday.

Angelique Kerber

The 28-year-old Kerber had never reached a Grand Slam final before this year, but she now has a chance to enter an elite club by becoming a multitime major tournament champion.

She'll have to beat perhaps the greatest women's tennis player of all time once again to make it happen, and she will be in a class all her own if she pulls off that feat, according to ESPN Stats & Info:

Kerber initially failed to capitalize on the momentum gained by winning the Aussie Open, as she fell in the first round of the French Open, but that proved to be an outlier in what has been an otherwise career-making season for the German.

Although Kerber is just 2-5 in her career against Williams, all seven of their previous meetings took place on hard courts, so their Wimbledon match figures to have a far different feel.

The surface seemingly favors a power, hard-hitting player like Serena, but Kerber's craftiness serves her well regardless of where she plays, and it was the deciding factor in Melbourne.

Even though Kerber has already beaten Williams on the big stage once this year, there is very little pressure on her to do it again since the world's No. 1 player is expected to come out on top whenever she takes the court.

Kerber is playing with house money, much like she did at the Australian Open, and that makes her a hugely dangerous threat to Serena once again.

Prediction

Recent history is working against Serena, particularly when it comes to facing Kerber, but her grit and determination in big moments figure to pay off eventually—much like they have for the vast majority of her career.

Perhaps even more importantly, Williams played what may have been her best match of the year against Vesnina in the semifinals.

Her serve was dominant and consistent, her groundstrokes were devastating, her movement was crisp and she finished off her overmatched opponent in well under an hour.

Kerber figures to pose a much stiffer challenge, especially since she knows she can beat Williams in a Grand Slam final, but there is still a talent disparity that weighs heavily in Serena's favor.

Williams has largely been excellent this year, and her losses have come at the most inopportune of times. She is very much on the brink of history and has postponed reaching it for far too long.

Based on how locked in she appeared to be against Vesnina, Serena is poised and ready to finally put Grand Slam title No. 22 on the board.

Prediction: Williams wins in two sets.
