A new women's champion will be crowned at Wimbledon on Saturday when surprise finalists Jasmine Paolini and Barbora Krejcikova face each other in an intriguing encounter.

Paolini is vying to become Italy's first Wimbledon singles champion, while her opponent is hoping to continue the Czech Republic's proud record in the championships.

At 5ft 4in tall, Paolini would also be the shortest Grand Slam singles champion in the Open era, having never tasted victory in a main tour match on grass until this summer.
