Wimbledon reaches a climax today with the men’s singles final (4pm BST start, moved later than the traditional start time due to TV considerations) with the top two seeds – and the best men’s players in the world at the moment – facing off for grand slam glory.
Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion, is aiming for a rare three-peat on the hallowed turf, but to do so he’ll have to get past top seed and his greatest rival Jannik Sinner. The Italian lost the pair’s only previous meeting in a major final, a heartbreaker at the French Open last month when he held match points, and will be out for revenge in today’s rematch.
Sinner swept aside Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the semi-finals, while Alcaraz came out on top in four sets against fourth seed Taylor Fritz to set up a mouthwatering clash between two titans of the modern game.
Centre Court ticket-holders will hope it’s a more competitive affair than Saturday’s women’s final, which saw Iga Swiatek crush Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to become the first-ever Polish singles’ champion at SW19, and the first to dish out a double-bagel scoreline in the showpiece since 1911.

Sinner with the perfect response on Centre Court
16:27 , Jack Rathborn*Alcaraz 1-1 Sinner
A rocket from Jannik, 130mph and Alcaraz can barely get the frame on that one.
“The second-serve was a weakness, he slides his back foot in, that platform motion has gone, his serve is now a weapon,” says Kyrgios on TNT Sports.
Just like that, Sinner cranks one down the ‘T’ and Alcaraz is left sprawling, that’s an emphatic reply from the Italian. 1-1.
Alcaraz quickly finds his rhythm on serve to open up Wimbledon final
16:22 , Jack RathbornAlcaraz 1-0 Sinner*
ACE! 136mph from Carlitos, it’s a fiery start to this men’s singles final!
The Spaniard races to 40-0 with plenty of venom on that serve.
Sinner with a heavy backhand, it’s long, simple hold from the champ!
Wimbledon men’s singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner delayed
16:16 , Jack RathbornSinner and Alcaraz begin to warm up, remember it’s already running 15 minutes later than planned.
Wimbledon were forced to delay the start time of the men’s singles final on Sunday by 10 minutes due to a lengthy women’s doubles final on Centre Court.
In a year where Wimbledon have moved the singles start times from 2pm to 4pm, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were left waiting for the three-set doubles final – which started at 1pm - to conclude.
It finished just before 3:30pm (BST), but after the presentation ceremony, the referee's office confirmed that the men’s singles final would start at the slightly later time of 4:10pm.

Nick Kyrgios advises Sinner and Alcaraz to return first if they win the toss
16:13 , Jack Rathborn“I'd return, it gets your nerves out, it's a free hit. Your arm locks up if you're a big server,” Kyrgios says on TNT Sports.
“But you returning, you’re making them play, and that’s what you don’t want.”
Dan Evans on the feeling of playing on Centre Court at Wimbledon
16:10 , Jack Rathborn“It’s the same routine on Centre,” Evans says on the players lingering in the hallway on before stepping out into the arena.
“This is the best part, where the crowd can see you. It goes quiet but you then hear the fans.”
How Jannik Sinner explained doping contamination to escape serious ban
16:06 , Jack RathbornAnd as Kyrgios, Evans and Wandeweghe discuss Sinner’s doping ban... Here’s exactly what happened, the fallout, what has been said and a complete timeline on the matter:
How did Sinner explain away the positive test results?
Sinner’s lawyers said that his fitness trainer purchased a spray “easily available over the counter in any Italian pharmacy” which was given to the player’s physiotherapist, Giocomo Naldi to help treat a minor cut on the physio’s finger. Naldi regularly massaged Sinner during the Indian Wells tournament, without wearing gloves.
Sinner’s lawyers claimed that because the player had “various skin lesions” on his body due to a skin condition called psoriasiform dermatitis, the spray – which contained clostebol – must have passed from the physio’s hands through to Sinner and caused the “inadvertent contamination”.

Nick Kyrgios on Jannik Sinner's doping ban
16:02 , Jack Rathborn“I certainly haven't [forgotten], of course not,” Kyrgios says on TNT Sports.
“It's hard, somebody like myself, multiple surgeries, I'd never think of doing something, he took the ban and since he came back, incredibly high level.
“Rome final, French Open final... He's been getting better. There's external noise, impressive how he's dealt with that. His tennis has done the talking.”
John McEnroe on 'extremely interesting' final
15:57 , Kieran Jackson"When Sinner brings his A game there is no-one that can beat him - other than Alcaraz," said seven-time major champion McEnroe, working for BBC Sport during the fortnight.
"On the other hand if Alcaraz doesn't bring his A game then Sinner will win every time.
“So it's going to be extremely interesting."
Dan Evans on Jannik Sinner's doping ban
15:54 , Jack Rathborn“People have forgotten the ban has happened,” Evans tells TNT Sports.
“The tennis has taken over now, since he came back, how well has he played?
“That's how you answer your critics, if you want to call them that, it was an unfortunate thing for him. We don't know the ins and outs.”

The Wimbledon final and the race to become top billing in the Alcaraz-Sinner arms race
15:44 , Kieran JacksonBy Kieran Jackson
A matter of hours after the draw for this year’s Wimbledon, practice sessions were in full swing across the All England Club. Just before 1pm, spotted by an eagle-eyed reporter in the media centre, were the top two players in the men’s game: two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and No 1 seed and the No 1-ranked player in the world Jannik Sinner. The pair were chatting, laughing even, in genuine joviality side-by-side as they walked to their respective courts south of the grounds.
It might seem somewhat odd to be conversing in such a relaxed manner, just a few days out from the third Grand Slam of the year. After all, it was only a month ago that the Spaniard fought back from the brink to defeat the Italian in the final at Roland Garros, winning one of the greatest matches of all time.
Wimbledon's men's singles final - odds!
15:41 , Kieran JacksonVirtually nothing to separate them!
- Jannik Sinner - 10/11
- Carlos Alcaraz - 19/20

Women's Doubles Final:

Eighth seeds Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens are the women’s doubles champions! They’ve taken the decider, 6-4, against fourth seeds Hsieh Su-wei and Jelena Ostapenko.
A quick presentation to follow, me thinks, before Sinner and Alcaraz at 4pm.

Sinner on facing Alcaraz
14:14 , Flo Clifford“I don't know what to expect, you saw the last final and you never know,” Sinner, just the third Italian to reach a Wimbledon singles final and hoping to become his country's first champion at the grass-court slam, said on court.
“It's a huge honour to share the court with Carlos, we try to push ourselves to the limit. I love watching him. Hopefully it will be a good match like the last one, I don't know about better, I don't think that's possible.”
The Wimbledon final and the race to become top billing in the Alcaraz-Sinner arms race

After all, it was only a month ago that the Spaniard fought back from the brink to defeat the Italian in the final at Roland Garros, winning one of the greatest matches of all time.
As such, you’d think Sinner would be sick of the sight of his Spanish adversary. Apparently not. This blossoming, intoxicating rivalry on the court takes place in an environment of impressive mutual respect. In fact, their genuine admiration for one another is as authentic as their will to win on court. They even crossed paths on the eve of this year’s men’s singles final, embracing by the Aorangi practice courts, again, both beaming.

Pel and Hijikata salute 'crazy ride'
09:20 , Flo CliffordRunners-up Pel and Hijikata seemed pleased enough with second place.
David Pel said: “We hadn’t even met before the tournament. It was our first time speaking on the first day of the tournament. It’s amazing actually.”
Rinky Hijikata added: “It's been a crazy ride. It’s been so much fun playing with David. It’s a dream come true to be playing out here on Centre Court today.”
Cash and Glasspool revel in Wimbledon triumph
09:10 , Flo CliffordCash and Glasspool are the first all-British pair since 1936 to win the men’s doubles at Wimbledon.
Julian Cash: “We played a crazy amount of tennis on the grass. There was a lot of pressure on our shoulders. The fact we could do it was surreal ... It would be mad of me to stand here and not thank my family. Mum, dad, Jamie, coaches – this is what it’s been all for. It means the world.”
“It’s something we spoke about going into the year [winning a grand slam]. A lot of people probably wouldn't have believed us. Our team backed us all the way. To do it here, I mean it couldn’t mean more. To do it on the most special court in the world? Incredible.”
Lloyd Glasspool: “When you say it, it sounds incredible. I didn’t think too much about it. We’ve given you one Brit the last few years but now we’ve given you two Brits.”
Brits Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool make tennis history
09:00 , Flo CliffordFifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool capped their dream summer with the Wimbledon crown and first Grand Slam title as a pair when the British team downed Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2 7-6(3) in the men's doubles final on Saturday.
Queen's Club and Eastbourne champions Cash and Glasspool became the first all-British pairing to win the All England Club trophy since 1936, when Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey defeated their compatriots Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in the final.
The local favourites shot out of the blocks after an early break thanks to a poor service game from Pel and raced through the opening set with minimum fuss, leaving fans buzzing on a sun-drenched Centre Court.
The Australian-Dutch duo of Hijikata and Pel saved a break point at the start of the second set and applied pressure in the fourth game but their opponents were equal to the task and took a step towards the title when they went 4-2 up.
Hijikata and Pel, who entered the tournament as alternates and survived match points in their first two rounds, drew level after eight games before Cash and Glasspool moved up a gear in the tiebreak to prevail and spark huge celebrations.
Amanda Anisimova reveals what the Princess of Wales said after Wimbledon final defeat
08:20 , Flo CliffordAmanda Anisimova thanked the Princess of Wales for consoling her after her humiliating 6-0, 6-0 defeat at the hands of Iga Swiatek in the Wimbledon final.
Anisimova was the first Wimbledon women’s singles finalist not to win a game for more than century, going back to 1911.
The American 23-year-old was blown away by Swiatek, who secured her sixth grand-slam title and first at Wimbledon, and seemed gripped by nerves as she failed to recreate the performance which knocked out world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals.

Wimbledon 2025 order of play: Day 14 schedule as Sinner and Alcaraz star in men’s final
07:00 , Flo CliffordWimbledon 2025 is nearing its close, with a blockbuster final day of action to bring an end to the tournament and crown its men’s singles champion.
Top seed and three-time grand slam champion Jannik Sinner faces off against rival Carlos Alcaraz, with the Spaniard bidding for an elusive ‘double double’ - winning the ‘Channel Slam’ of French Open and Wimbledon twice in succession - and to seal three straight titles in SW19.
Sinner, meanwhile, is aiming to bounce back from the heartbreak of losing the Roland-Garros showpiece against Alcaraz when he held match points in the fourth set.
Elsewhere on day 14, reigning wheelchair singles champion Alfie Hewett bids to defend his title against Japanese teenage sensation and world No 1 Tokito Oda; the pair have split the last 10 majors between them and have one apiece from the season so far. And Su-Wei Hsieh and Jelena Ostapenko face Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens for the women’s doubles title.
