Weekend Watchlist: July 9

1

Andy Murray will carry the hopes of the nation as he takes on Milos Raonic in the Wimbledon men’s final. The Scot stormed past Tomas Berdych in the semifinal, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3, while Raonic overcame a tougher challenge from seven-time Wimbledon champion Roger Federer, 6-3, 6-7 (3), 4-6, 7-5, 6-3.

Murray is looking to secure his second Wimbledon crown, while the Canadian is the first man to ever reach a Grand Slam final.

Serena Williams needed just 48 minutes to reach her ninth Wimbledon final over Elena Vesnina. She then took on a familiar foe in Angelique Kerber in Saturday's final. In a hard fought 7-5, 6-3 match, Williams won Grand Slam No. 22, matching Steffi Graf's record. Williams was looking to avenge both her Australian Open final loss to the German and her sister's loss in the semifinal to Kerber.

The men’s doubles final will see top seeds Pierre-Hughes Herbert and Nicolas Mahut take on Julien Benneteau and Edouard Roger-Vasselin. Herbert and Mahut are trying to win their second Grand Slam together (they won the U.S. Open last year).

The Williams sisters have a special love for grass and for the All England Club. Both sisters played in singles semifinals and will be looking to win their 14th Grand Slam doubles title together (sixth Wimbledon). Standing in their way are Timea Babos and Yaroslava Shvedova.
