Serena Williams faces Simona Halep in Wimbledon final

Serena Williams will need to deal with "pressure times 100" when she faces Simona Halep in Saturday's Wimbledon final seeking to equal the all-time record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles.

This is the challenge that got her back out on to the court after almost dying giving birth and the one that keeps her motivated at the age of 37.

"Serena has already beaten a lot of records but this is the ultimate one," coach Patrick Mouratoglou told the BBC.

The final starts at 19:00 (Local time)

Australian Margaret Court set her record for singles titles between 1960 and 1973 - at a time that spanned the amateur and Open era.

Williams already holds the record for the most Grand Slam singles titles in the Open era with 23 but it is not enough for her.

Standing in her way is 27-year-old Romanian former world number one Halep, who says she has a new-found love of grass courts and a belief she can beat anyone and win a second Grand Slam title.
