Olympic Women's Tennis 2016: Time, Schedule for Monica Puig vs. Angelique Kerber

The gold-medal match of the women’s singles tennis takes centre stage on Saturday in Rio de Janeiro, as Monica Puig and Angelique Kerber battle it out for the right to be crowned Olympic champion.

German athlete Kerber comes into the clash as the hot favourite, having eased her way to the final without dropping a set and playing some outstanding tennis along the way.

But the Olympics is known for throwing up underdog champions, and if Puig can find a way past the ever-impressive Kerber in Rio, she’ll be the first-ever gold medallist from Puerto Rico.

Here are all the full details of the gold-medal match in Brazil:

Date: Saturday, August 13

Time: 3 p.
