Wimbledon will have a new women's champion this year, with Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova set to go head to head at SW19 on Saturday.
No 8 seed Swiatek and 13th seed Anisimova have never lifted the trophy in south west London, meaning that for the eighth year in a row we will have a new champion.
Poland's Swiatek is on for her sixth Grand Slam title of her career, while American Anisimova is in her first-ever showpiece final.
The occasion gets under way at 4pm on Saturday, July 12, and there is some serious prize money at stake for both the winner and the runner-up.
The winner banks a cool £3million, while the loser, in inverted commas, gets £1,520,000. That is a rise of £300,000 from the 2024 edition of the tournament. Men and women have received equal prize money in SW19 since 2007.
The increase in prize money comes after most top players signed a letter, addressed to the four Grand Slam tournaments, which requested better remuneration.

'We have listened to the players. We have engaged with the players,' said Debbie Jevans, the chair of the All England Club before the tournament started.
'Sally [Bolton, the AELTC chief executive] had a meeting in Paris, as did I, with a number of them. What I think is important, which of course has been discussed with them, the focus on just the prize money at the four events, ie Grand Slams, does not get to the heart of what the challenge is for tennis.
'The challenge with tennis is the fact that players don't have an off-season, which they want, they have increasing injuries that they are speaking about. We have always said that we as Wimbledon are willing to engage and talk with the tours to try and find solutions and that door remains open.'
In total, £53.55million will be dished out over the two weeks of the competition in prize money.
