Wimbledon 2025 women's final live: Swiatek v Anisimova updates after Sinner overcomes injured Djokovic to book Alcaraz rematch
Each player is in her first final in SW19, though Swiatek is already a five-time grand-slam champion, with four French Open titles to her name and one US Open triumph. The 24-year-old Pole is also a former world No 1, and she is the betting favourite here, having exhibited great progress this summer on a surface on which she once struggled – as shown in her semi-final demolition of Belinda Bencic.
Yet grass is still not Swiatek's favoured surface, and the quicker play could suit the powerful Anisimova, the 23-year-old American who outlasted world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a brutal, enthralling semi-final. Still, Anisimova, seeded 13th, is in her first grand-slam final here, and her lack of experience could hinder her.
Today's showpiece match follows Friday's men's semi-finals, in which Carlos Alcaraz saw off Taylor Fritz before Jannik Sinner thrashed an injured Novak Djokovic. Those results set up tomorrow's final, a rematch of last month's modern classic in the French Open final, where Alcaraz fought from two sets down to beat the world No 1.

Emma Raducanu makes worrying comment ahead of Washington Open semi-final clash
Emma Raducanu has made a worrying admission ahead of her semi-final clash against Anna Kalinskaya at the Washington Open on Saturday. The British tennis star has reached the last four at a WTA Tour event for the first time this year and has been in brilliant form at the American tournament. Raducanu stunned seventh-seed Marta Kostyuk before knocking out four-time major champion Naomi Osaka and former world No.3 Maria Sakkari. Next up is a showdown with Russia's Kalinskaya – and ahead of that match – Raducanu admits she is 'really struggling' with the heat in Washington. Temperatures reached 36 degrees during Raducanu's 6-4 7-5 win over Sakkari on Friday, with the Briton saying the conditions felt like 'you have just opened an oven and it just stayed open and your head is in there'. Raducanu, looking to reach her first WTA Tour final since winning the US Open four years ago, said in her press conference: 'I would like to say I'm pretty good in the heat, for the most part, but I was really struggling today. 'It was one of the toughest matches conditions-wise I have ever played in. Those points in the second set, I was getting a bit wobbly. I'm just happy I could close it out and it was two sets.' Raducanu had her vitals checked in a medical timeout late into the second set during her win over Sakkari. The 22-year-old had only just broken Sakkari's serve when the doctor was called onto the court. 'It was brutal today,' Raducanu added. 'Thank you to everyone for coming out and sitting through the heat. 'It's incredibly difficult playing, but actually, when I've sat and watched matches, in the heat when you're not moving, it's even harder. 'It's for sure physical, because if you don't have the abilities then your body will fail you. But at a certain point, it then becomes mental. 'I knew after the first or second game, it was such a long match, the first set was over an hour. 'It is mental and you just have to enjoy suffering as bad as that sounds, you just know you have to leave it all out on the court until you probably drop. More Trending 'I'm not feeling the best right now, so I just need to go and speak to the doctors.' The two players are set to lock horns around 9pm UK time today (Saturday, July 26) with the clash being shown live on Sky Sports Tennis. Sky Sports subscribers can also stream the match online via the Sky Sports website and app. MORE: Who's next for Oleksandr Usyk?

Doing their best under dreadful circumstances. Management have a lot to answer Not been an auspicious start for the new SRU CEO, Alex Williamson. Hardly hit the ground running, and Mr McGuigan seems to have disappeared into the Nucifora does not seem to be working out well, and Scottish rugby appears to be haemorrhaging coaching talent at an alarming rate. Townsend/Franco Smith situation and now Tandy, Easson and women's game has been in flux the past two months, and rather than managing the situation, they seem to be ignoring it. Hard for sportspeople to focus on performance with these levels of like months of inaction and ostrich mentality by the SRU after a disappointing Six Nations for both the men's and women's teams.

Stokes century as England pile up massive 669
MANCHESTER, England, July 26 (Reuters) - Captain Ben Stokes' first century in over two years fired England to their fifth highest total in test history on Saturday, the dominant hosts all out for 669 on day four of the fourth test again India with a first-innings lead of 311. Resuming on 544-7, with Stokes on 77, the skipper looked nervy as he edged towards a long-awaited ton, pointing to the skies -- a celebration in tribute to his father -- when he reached three figures. Stokes became only the fourth England player in test history to take five wickets and make a century in the same match, and was the first captain to do so. After Liam Dawson had been dismissed and Stokes passed his latest milestone, the skipper upped the ante, with a huge six and another four taking him past 7,000 test runs and the hosts past 600. The boundaries continue to flow, with Brydon Carse getting in on the act before Stokes was out for 141. Carse attempted one six too many and was also caught on the boundary for 47 to bring England's colossal innings to an end. England the five-match series 2-1.
