Wimbledon 2025 final EXACT start time: Why is Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner starting later this year?
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."

Revealed: The new state-of-the-art technology Man United will bring to Old Trafford to help player analysis
Manchester United will install state-of-the-art tracking technology at Old Trafford and Carrington after renewing their partnership deal with STATSports. The fixed infrastructure will be in use at the stadium and training ground following Monday's announcement that United's stars will continue to wear the Apex 2.0 GPS performance trackers. Insiders said it will remove the need for portable beacons and enable the club's analysts to monitor the players in action more accurately, saving coaching staff up to 20 hours a week which can now be spent on deeper analysis or providing better feedback. United said in a statement that the new agreement 'reinforces the club's commitment to implementing best-in-class performance hardware solutions'. Ed Leng, head of physical performance at United, added: 'At Manchester United, we're always looking to push the boundaries of player performance. 'Wearable trackers are a vital part of that process, and we're grateful for STATSports' continued support and partnership. 'Their Apex 2.0 trackers will enable us to unlock deeper insights across all men's and women's players spanning all training environments, from academy to first team. 'By expanding our fixed infrastructure at Carrington, Old Trafford and Leigh, we'll enhance real-time tracking capabilities helping us to better prepare, develop, and protect our players.' Sean O'Connor, co-founder of STATSports, said: 'Manchester United are a benchmark for ambition and excellence. 'This supplier partnership renewal is a testament to their belief in the value of high-performance and our role in delivering it. 'Apex 2.0 trackers enable United's staff to obtain up-to-date accurate information in respect of player availability, individual development and team performance. 'With the addition of fixed infrastructure across both training and matchday environments, we're helping embed a world-class performance culture across every touchpoint.'

Arsenal ‘make MAJOR breakthrough in Ethan Nwaneri contract talks'... as rumours of playmaker's demands for more playing time are cleared up
Arsenal 's teenage sensation Ethan Nwaneri is reportedly close to signing a new a long-term contract, amid uncertainty surrounding his future. The 18-year-old enjoyed a fine breakout campaign for the Gunners last season as he scored nine goals in 37 appearances across all competitions. However, there has been speculation that Nwaneri could leave Mikel Arteta 's side, with his existing deal set to expire next summer. This has only been fuelled by the impending arrival of Noni Madueke from Chelsea, as well as Arsenal's strong interest in Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze - both of whom Nwaneri may find himself competing for position with. Nevertheless, the Hale End graduate appears determined to fight for his place at Arsenal, with contract talks gathering pace as Nwaneri signals his commitment to his boyhood club. The England Under-21 international's priority was always to stay in north London, according to The Athletic. It is understood that Nwaneri - who played almost 1400 minutes in all competitions last season - did not make any demands regarding his playing time during recent negotiations. Mail Sport reported last week that Arsenal hope they can convince the player to stay by offering him a five-year contract - or a four-year deal with an option for a further year to be included. Arteta and sporting director Andrea Berta are said to remain positive that an agreement can be reached, while Nwaneri's team are also keen on finding common ground. Should that be the case - and Nwaneri were to end up signing a new contract - he would be the third Arsenal player to commit their long-term future to the club this summer. They have already seen fellow youngster Myles Lewis-Skelly sign a new contract that will keep him at the club until 2030. Fellow defender Gabriel has also put pen to paper on a new deal that will see him stay in N5 until 2029.

Crystal Palace fans stage protest against Europa League demotion
Crystal Palace supporters staged a protest outside Selhurst Park on Tuesday evening following UEFA's ruling to demote the club from the Europa League to the Conference League. Palace qualified for this season's Europa League courtesy of their shock win over Manchester City in the FA Cup final in May, which secured a historic first major trophy. But they missed a March 1 deadline to demonstrate that American co-owner John Textor, also a part-owner at Lyon, had no control or influence over more than one club in the same competition. UEFA's Club Financial Control Body (CFCB) decided Textor's interest in both clubs meant only one could enter the Europa League, with Lyon's higher league position edging out Palace. Hundreds of supporters marched from Norwood Clocktower to Palace's stadium carrying banners, with one at the front declaring 'UEFA: MORALLY BANKRUPT. REVOKE THE RULING NOW'. Palace are weighing up their options in response and admitted they could appeal UEFA's verdict at the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Textor has agreed to sell his shareholding in Palace to New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. He has also stepped down as Lyon president, but remains co-owner. Nottingham Forest are expected to replace the Eagles in the Europa League after finishing seventh in the Premier League last season although this has not yet been confirmed by UEFA. Palace chairman Steve Parish declared it 'a bad day for football' and 'a terrible injustice' after the club were demoted to the Conference League having fallen foul of UEFA's rules on multi-club ownership. A petition urging UEFA to reconsider and reinstate Palace back in the Europa League has been signed by more than 3,000 people since being created on Friday.
