Later today Serena and Venus Williams will battle it out on Centre Court for the 2008 Wimbledon Ladies Championship.

Both ladies have had a lot of success at Wimbledon and will partner up after the match for the Ladies Doubles final.  Venus is the current champion with Serena not having won the title since 2003 when she came from a set down to defeat her sister.

Both ladies have cruised to the final and have been by far the best 2 female competitors at this years competition.  They have met each other 15 times with Serena leading the series 8-7 and more importantly 5-1 in Grand Slam finals, the last being 5 years ago here at SW19.

Serena Williams got to the final by beating Kaia Kanepi 7-5 6-3 in round 1, Urszula Radwanska 6-4 6-4 in round 2, convincingly beating 2006 Wimbledon Champion Amelie Mauresmo 7-6 6-1 in round 3, Bethanie Mattek in round 4 6-3 6-3 before thrashing promising Agnieszka Radwanska 6-4 6-0 in the quarter final and then defeating giant-killing Jie Zheng 6-2 7-6 in the semi final on Thursday.

Venus got here by beating Britain's Naomi Cavaday 7-6 6-1 and Anne Keothvong 7-6 6-2 in rounds 1 and 2 respectively before going on to beat Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez 6-1 7-5, Alia Kleybanova 6-3, 6-4 in round 4, Thailand's Tamarine Tanasugarn 6-4 6-3 in the quarter final and the disappointing Elena Dementieva 6-1 7-6 on Thursday.

Neither have dropped a set in this years Championships.
