0841: Serena to serve...

0839: Ridiculously, this is the first time Serena and Henin have met in a Grand Slam final. The best two women players of the last decade have met 14 times, with the American leading 7-6, and she won their last meeting 6-2 6-0 in Miami two years ago. Since then, of course, Henin spent 18 months in retirement before returning this month. She is hoping to emulate fellow Belgian Kim Clijsters' achievement at the US Open last September of winning her first Grand Slam after coming out of retirement. A victory would give Henin her eighth Grand Slam title, while Serena can join Billie-Jean King on 12 singles titles.

0835: To the matter at hand, and you couldn't really ask for a better women's final line-up. Four-time and defending champion (and world number one) Serena Williams against former champion (and former world number one) Justine Henin. Inundate me with your thoughts via Twitter or with a text on 81111 (UK) and +44 7786200666 (worldwide).

0832: The players make their way through the tunnel under the stadium in total silence, understandably. A healthy cheer for both women as they walk onto court and the evening sun is just creeping over the top of the stands.

0829: Well, if you're British it might get a bit bigger, and I want to hear your thoughts on tomorrow morning's men's final. Peter Norfolk has shown Andy Murray the way by winning the quad wheelchair singles title for the fourth time - his 17th Grand Slam title. Can the Scot win Britain's first men's Grand Slam singles title for 150,000 years? Or is super smooth Federer going to roll him over as he did at Flushing Meadows a couple of years ago? Personally, I have absolutely no idea.

0825: Morning all, happy weekend. Let's face it, we haven't got off to the best of starts - more snow, a lack of breakfast options in the BBC canteen, and Britain's Laura Robson lost to Karolina Pliskova in the girls' final overnight. It was a case of one Plsikova too far for the 16-year-old from Wimbledon, but she's had a great time in Australia. With the juniors done, it's time to see how their elders and betters (for now) perform - Serena Williams v Justine Henin. It gets no bigger.
