Sugiyama Is trying to become only the second Japanese to win a Grand Slam Title.
The only other was In 1975 when Kazuko Sawamatsu of Japan and American Anne Kiy-omura defeated Francoise Durr and Betty Stove in the Wimbledon doubles final.
RAINY FINAL
Look for Sunday's final between Pete Sampras and Pat Rafter to be a wet on.
The Met Office, Britain's National weather service, is calling for "at least a 70 per cent chance" of rain at the time of the 2 pm (1300 GMT) start.
There is a high probability of heavy showers going through as the match starts.” said Martin Rowley, chief forecaster for the Met Office.
But being showers, they will move through fairly smartly. There's a good possibility It won't be completely washed out But they should be ready with the covers and put them on smartly.
