LONDON (Reuters) - Nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova has said her "dream match" would have been on Centre Court against Serena Williams.

Williams will claim an eighth singles crown at the All England Club if she beats Germany's Angelique Kerber on Saturday and, despite approaching the age of 37, looks capable of matching or even surpassing Navratilova's record haul.
