Wimbledon Day 12 - Like shelling (black eyed) peas for Will.i.am.s or is her opponent no Mug?

Order of play

Just hope Mug doesn't freeze in her first GS final. Bouchard got blown off the court by Kvitova last year and Lisicki ended up in tears even during the match against Bartoli. Got to be Serena in straight sets.

Plenty of surname material available tomorrow but difficult to avoid cliches.

@JHM... It has been a wonderful catalog of punnery. Awaiting for the piece de resistance tomorrow. Like Murray, the pressure is on you.

Mug played very in her SF first set, but dropped a bit down on the second v Radwanska. She can come close to William's power.

to both. (3-setter please).

Muguruza is already up a break. Serena served three double faults in her first service game, resulting in her serve being broken. We could be in for quite a final.

Very good start from Mug. Opposite of a mug atm.

Serena was a little fortunate to break back there

First set to Serena after being broken in her opening service game. Let's see how Muguruza responds.

Like an obedient pet.  Folds on command.  The story of women's tennis at the moment.  I pray the men's finals more competitive but j think federer will smash novak

Good fightback by Serena...just one set away from her 21st Grand Slam title.

Serena has let the moment get to her big time.

Back on serve

And again. Comes back from 5-1. Soon as there's pressure. Roll over. She's the queen of tennis no doubt I only wish 2009 never happened, and that the wtas best stars hadn't all gone at once. Serenas the roger of her game, and right now there's no Rafa to at least give her a game

Muguruza certainly has a bright future in tennis.

It is tough for her to come all the way back from 5-1 and then gets broken at 4-5, to hand Serena the title

Remember when Steffi Graf was basically winning every grand slam title in sight when Monica Seles took a long hiatus after she was stabbed during an atp match

Well done, Serena!

Number 21, and you can aim for Steffi Graf's 22...the greatest of all time?

Maybe....

Serena Slam achieved...now to take aim at the calendar Slam.

Not from experience but I've seen it. Horrific event. It was when Hingis exploded into the tour that things got more competitive... I think

That was a pretty good final, considering it was probably the best lady player ever against a first-time finalist. Some dramatic passages of play in there. Enjoyed it.

Would she be better than Graf? I don't know about that. I've never like the greatest arguments anyway, it tends to make bad habits garbled stats and dismissing of achievement as opposed to just celebrating great sportspeople

yeah, I should have said 'one of the best' or something like that. But mainly it wasn't a 6-1, 6-1 drubbing or anything like that - there was plenty in there to keep it interesting.

A interesting appraisal of Williams, who often divides opinion :-

I wonder what Andy Murray thinks about Serena's second serve being superior to his?
