What happened: This year's Wimbledon ladies' singles final will feature two players from Czechia, the first time since 2009 that a Wimbledon women's final has featured players from the same country. Both finalists advanced through the draw to reach Centre Court.

Why it matters: The last all-same-country final came in 2009, when Serena and Venus Williams met for the title. A repeat of that scenario, 17 years later and with a different nation, adds to Wimbledon's list of historic finals.

By the numbers: Last same-country Wimbledon women's final: 2009 (Serena Williams d. Venus Williams).

What to watch: The final is scheduled for Centre Court, with the winner claiming the Wimbledon ladies' singles title.
