TENNIS fans are in for a treat as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are set to meet once again just five weeks after their French Open classic.
The Spaniard saved three championship points to win one of the greatest-ever Grand Slam finals in June.
And now the two superstars will do it all again in SW19 as Alcaraz bids to win a third consecutive Wimbledon title.
The defending champion swept aside the United States’ Taylor Fritz 6-4 5-7 6-3 7-6 to progress to the showpiece match this afternoon.
World No1 Sinner will be out for revenge, fresh from ending Novak Djokovic’s quest for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title.
The 23-year-old Italian destroyed the Serbian great in straight sets to book his spot in the Wimbledon final for the first time.
Sinner’s run in SW19 means he has become only the 11th man to reach the final of every Grand Slam event in the Open Era.
What time is the Wimbledon 2025 final?
- This year’s men’s singles final will take place on Sunday, July 13.
- The match is expected to get underway at 4pm BST.
- Centre Court at the All England Club will host the final.
Why is the Wimbledon final later this year?
Traditionally, the final Saturday and Sunday of the tournament has seen the women’s singles final and the men’s singles final respectively open play on Centre Court.
Both matches would ordinarily begin on Wimbledon’s most famous stage at 2pm BST.
But this year, on the Saturday, the men’s doubles final will open play on Centre Court at 1pm before the women’s singles final at 4pm.
While Sunday’s opening match will be the women’s doubles final at 1pm, with the men’s singles final also following at 4pm.
All England Club chief executive Sally Bolton explained that the change in schedule will allow the men’s and women’s finals to attract the “largest possible worldwide audience” with both singles finals starting at 11am ET in New York.
Bolton said: “We have adjusted the provisional schedule for the final weekend of The Championships with the ambition of improving the experience for all involved.
“The doubles players competing in the finals will have increased certainty over their schedule and fans will enjoy each day’s play as it builds towards the crescendo of the ladies’ and gentlemen’s singles finals, with our champions being crowned in front of the largest possible worldwide audience.”
