Here's the first thing you should know about Saturday's women's singles final at Wimbledon: Serena Williams vs. Garbine Muguruza is not a mismatch. Muguruza has already beaten Williams in a Grand Slam event (2014 French Open), and the Spaniard has beaten seeded opponents throughout the fortnight in England.

Serena has other reasons not to take Muguruza lightly: She's in pursuit of two different grand slams (victories in four consecutive majors, and four majors in a calendar year), and her 21st Grand Slam singles title. The latter will move Williams to three behind record holder Steffi Graf.
