Who is in the Wimbledon semi-finals?

Carlos Alcaraz is through to his first Wimbledon final where he will try and stop Novak Djokovic from winning a fifth consecutive title on Sunday.

Alcaraz, 20, brushed aside third seed Daniil Medvedev to set up a mouth-watering final against Djokovic, who will bid to join Roger Federer by winning a men’s record eighth singles crown.

Djokovic has not lost a match on Centre Court since 2013 and has won 34 matches in a row at the All England Club, in what will be an unmissable final between the two best players in the world.

Djokovic defeated Jannik Sinner in straight sets in the day’s first semi-final, the 36-year-old Serbian moving one step closer to a record eighth Wimbledon title.

On the women’s side, Ons Jabeur and Marketa Vondrousova will contest the Wimbledon singles final after coming through enthralling semi-finals at the All England Club.

Both women are seeking their maiden grand slam title having previously fallen short in major finals, with Jabeur narrowly losing to Elena Rybakina on Centre Court in last year’s SW19 showpiece and Vondrousova having been bested in the 2019 French Open final.

Jabeur got revenge over Rybakina in this year’s quarter-final before battling back to beat second seed Aryna Sabalenka 6-7, 6-4, 6-3 in the last four, while Vondrousova ended the fairytale run of Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina 6-3, 6-3 to book her spot.

When are the Wimbledon finals?

The Wimbledon men’s and women’s finals will take place on the weekend of 15 and 16 July.

As is tradition, the women’s final will be played on Saturday 15 July and the men’s final on Sunday 16 July.

Both matches will start at 2pm BST (9am ET).
