Wimbledon 2025: Who has made it through to the finals?
Wimbledon men's singles final
Carlos Alcaraz will be looking to retain the men's Wimbledon title as he faces Jannik Sinner on Sunday. It's Sinner's first Wimbledon final and it wasn't an easy feat to get there. He had to beat 7-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic in the semi finals to do it. The last time the pair played against each other in a Grand Slam final was in a French Open thriller that lasted over five hours. That title went to Alcaraz but could it be Sinner's turn to lift the trophy at Wimbledon for the first time?
Wimbledon women's singles final
Iga Swiatek is no stranger to a Wimbledon final, but not on such a big stage. She won a junior Wimbledon title back in 2019. She's since gone on to win five Grand Slam titles, but Wimbledon is one she is yet to get. It will be Amanda Anisimova's first Wimbledon final and if she wins, it would be the first Grand Slam title of her career.
Wimbledon men's wheelchair final
Alfie Hewett won both the singles and the doubles titles last year and he's hoping to do the same again. His first final is the doubles with his partner Gordon Reid on Saturday. But he won't have long to rest. Hewett will be back in action in the men's wheelchair final on Sunday to defend his title.

Can Rangers' star rise again with no stellar signings at Ibrox?
B etween Tutbury and Barton-under-Needwood, between Burton-upon-Trent and Draycott in the Clay, football players from Glasgow are sweating it out on a pitch so hot it is being hosed with water regularly. Pitch number four at St George's Park, English football's training HQ, to be specific. 'Good luck Lionesses' says the giant message displayed behind the complex's reception desk about the women's team at Euro 2025. Rangers are in Staffordshire. If they are to come together and achieve anything in Scotland this season it will be a feat with its genesis here in the very heart of England. Russell Martin is out beasting his players on that training pitch. They have already had to do extra running in the week as 'punishment' for disappointing him in some minor way (he laughs off an attempt to find out how they had fallen below the necessary levels). Now in an open training session there is a warm-up then an adapted, high-intensity seven-a-side game with separate teams in yellow, blue or red bibs, including Martin himself playing at the back for the yellows. Then set-piece practice, defending and attacking free kicks, and then the same with crosses. An 11-v-11 game to finish. One of those sides builds out from the back and neatly goes all the way to score at the other end. 'You look like a team,' Martin shouts at them, clearly pleased. 'When you move like that you look like a team.' He talks to them all a lot. Swears a lot too. Those who have been around the club for a while say he is more vocal during training than recent predecessors. These are players and a management team still sussing each other out. He tells them the sort of possession he wants from his defenders at the back: 'Not side to side, f***ing passive.'

Iga Swiatek fires back at her doubters by winning maiden Wimbledon title
The Pole crushed first-time grand slam finalist Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6-0 in less than an hour on Centre Court, making it the most one-sided final for 114 years. Not since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby, had a Wimbledon title been decided by such a scoreline, while the only other instance at a grand slam came in the French Open in 1988 when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva. A new Wimbledon champion is crowned 🇵🇱 Iga Swiatek defeats Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to win the 2025 Ladies' Singles Trophy 🏆#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 12, 2025 Swiatek had slipped to eighth in the world rankings after a disappointing clay season by her extremely lofty standards, with the 24-year-old failing to win the French Open for the first time since 2021. 'We as public people and as athletes, we can't really react to everything what's going on,' said Swiatek, who served a one-month doping ban at the end of last season after taking contaminated medication. 'We've got to focus on ourselves. Obviously sometimes it's easier to do that, sometimes it's harder. For sure, the past months, how the media sometimes describe me – and I've got to say, unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant. 'I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job because obviously you can see that we know what we are doing, and I have the best people around me. 'I have already proved a lot. I know people want more and more, but it's my own process and my own life and my own career.' Swiatek maintained her unblemished record in grand slam finals, making it six titles and becoming the first Polish player, male or female, to win a Wimbledon singles trophy. By adding the grass-court title to her four French Open crowns and one US Open trophy she has also now won slams on all the surfaces. She had never previously been beyond the Wimbledon quarter-finals, and she said: 'It's something that is just surreal. I feel like tennis keeps surprising me, and I keep surprising myself. 'I think the fact that it's on grass, for sure it makes it more special, I would say, and more unexpected. So it feels like the emotions are bigger because, at Roland Garros, I know I can play well, and I know I can show it every year. Here, I wasn't sure of that. I also needed to prove that to myself.' Anisimova's comeback has been one of the stories of the fortnight, with the former teenage prodigy having stepped away from tennis for eight months in 2023 for mental health reasons. She came into the final off the back of a semi-final victory over Aryna Sabalenka but from the start appeared paralysed by nerves. Anisimova's serve deserted her and there were many more errors than winners off the ground. The crowd, who had paid more than £300 each per ticket, willed the American to find a foothold in the contest but Swiatek was utterly ruthless. Another treat for the Pole was receiving the trophy from the Princess of Wales. 'On court she just congratulated (me),' said Swiatek. 'She told me some nice stuff about the performance. Later on, I don't remember really because I was too overwhelmed. 'I didn't want to do any faux pas. I wanted to behave well. Overall the process of getting the trophy from Her Royal Highness was something surreal. Since I'm a kid, honestly I'm a big fan of the Royal family. It was amazing.'

Alex Greenwood: England's game against Wales is the most important yet
England's clash against Wales is England's most important game of their Euro 2025 campaign yet, according to Alex Greenwood. The meeting between the two home nations in St. Gallen is another must-win clash for the Lionesses, who currently sit on three points in Group D. They lost their opening game 2-1 to France before going on to get a necessary victory against the Netherlands on Wednesday to keep their hopes of a quarter-final spot alive. It sets up an enticing battle with neighbours Wales, and Greenwood needed no reminding of the magnitude of the occasion. "For me personally, it is the most important game we're going to play,' she said. "That's how I treat it. For the fans and everybody around there the rivalry is brilliant. The atmosphere is going to be great and something we should look forward to." The pressure of the big occasion could be enough to cause some teams to choke on the big stage, but when faced with such expectations against the Netherlands, England stepped up in style. A Lauren James brace in addition to goals from Ella Toone and Georgia Stanway saw the Lionesses fly to a resounding 4-0 win at Stadion Letzigrund in Zurich. For Greenwood, it is a pressure they have become well-acquainted with. "[Having a target on our back] is something we are used to now. That's the pressure we have invited because we have been successful and it is something we should be proud of,' she said. "As a team we don't focus too much on that. We focus on ourselves and the gameplan. "We enjoy pressure, but we also thrive in those moments. We showed that the other night against the Netherlands. "That was a high-pressure game and we performed under the highest pressure. Tomorrow becomes another high pressure game and we're all really looking forward to it." See you tomorrow for a big one, #Lionesses fans! 🏴🏴 — Lionesses (@Lionesses) July 12, 2025 Part of England's success against the Netherlands came from Sarina Wiegman's tactical decision to move Greenwood out to left-back and bring Jess Carter, who struggled on the flank against France, into the centre-back role. With the threat of Chasity Grant down the right and Vivianne Miedema nullified it was a decision that paid dividends. But despite the seemingly major role change, Greenwood feels the tactical thought process is actually very similar. "[There are not as many differences] as you would think. In my role here at England as a left-back, Sarina still allows me to play to my ability,' she explained. "There are some slight differences tactically but I have been a left-back for a large parts of my career. "It is not foreign to play there. I enjoy playing there, it gives a different side to my game. "It is not overwhelming or too much to think about. It is gameplan, opposition, what's best for the team and that's the most important thing." In her versatility Greenwood has proven invaluable for the Lionesses for over a decade, featuring in their 2015 World Cup squad. It saw her rack up her 100th international appearance in the opening game against France to join an exclusive club. "Playing for England has always been a dream of mine. To then make 100 caps for my country is something I genuinely didn't think I would achieve,' she said. "I'm grateful to all the people who have helped me along the way."
