Is Ashleigh Barty vs Karolina Pliskova on TV today? Start time, channel and how to watch Wimbledon final
Karolina Pliskova faces Ashleigh Barty in the final of the women’s singles at Wimbledon on Saturday.
The Czech former world No1 is hoping to earn her first-ever Grand Slam victory, having tasted defeat in her only previous one at the US Open. Now ranked 13 in the world, Pliskova herself admits she’s surprised to have come this far, but took confidence in how she coped with big-serving Aryna Sabalenka in the semis.
“I never thought about maybe going into the final. There are so many amazing players in the draw,” she said. “Then to win two sets in a row with the way how she was serving today, I think she was serving incredible, all my chances she just put amazing serves in. So I’m super proud about the way I handled the situation out there, the second and third set, and that I served out the match.”
