We’re up to the last match of this year’s Wimbledon. It’s the ageless wonder, Venus Williams, against rising young superstar Garbine Muguruza. Muguruza reached the final here in 2015, losing to Serena Williams, while this is Venus’ ninth final here, having won five titles so far. Our panelists unanimously picked the correct final in our semifinal predictions<\/a>, so you don’t want to miss what we have to say about the final. Today’s panelists predicting the final are myself (Yesh Ginsburg), editor Steen Kirby, writers Brett Margolies, Ryan Schick, and Vithun Illankovan, and guest Donald King.<\/p>\n

Garbine Muguruza vs Venus Williams<\/strong><\/p>\n

Brett:<\/em>
\nAfter Venus Williams and Garbine Muguruza breezed through their semifinal matches, one of these two will have their hands on the trophy come Saturday. It makes sense that they\u2019re playing in the final as they really seemed to be playing the best on the women\u2019s side. I think a key come Saturday will be experience. Venus has the five Wimbledon singles titles already and without her younger sister in action she realizes this is the best chance she\u2019ll get to get her hands on number six. I think she\u2019ll come out swinging from the start putting pressure on Muguruza as she wins Wimbledon for the first time since 2008.
\nPrediction: Williams in 2<\/em><\/p>\n

Vithun:<\/em>
\nMy prediction at the end of 2016 of Muguruza winning one of either the French Open or Wimbledon this year is looking very possible. She is playing the better tennis out of these two but I believe the majority of the crowd will be supporting Venus. I think with Venus can make this an epic final with her fighting spirit, but unlike 2005 will be on the losing side this time.
\nPrediction: Muguruza in 3<\/em><\/p>\n
