Wimbledon 2025 women's final live: Swiatek v Anisimova updates after Sinner overcomes injured Djokovic to book Alcaraz rematch
The Wimbledon women's singles final has arrived, with Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova eyeing glory and hoping to avoid sporting heartbreak. 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. Cash and Glasspool clinch Wimbledon doubles title It's been almost 90 years since an all-British pair managed the feat.

Lawrence Ostlere12 July 2025 14:11 Hewett and Reid beaten in wheelchair doubles final Hewett-Reid 6-7(1), 5-7 Spaargaren-De La Peunte Well here's a bit of a shock – the top seeds and 23-time grand-slam winning pairing of Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have lost the men's wheelchair doubles final. Spain's Martin de la Puente and Dutchman Ruben Spaargaren are the new champions, and that's a first slam crown for either player.

Neither player has ever reached a grand-slam final before, but their partnership has been fruitful this year, with finals in Miami and Monaco on hard and clay courts to go with this run on grass to the Wimbledon final. They've made a good start here, picking up an early break against Australia's Rinky Hijikata and Dutchman David Pel. Lawrence Ostlere12 July 2025 13:18

Wimbledon final 2025 live: scores, results from Amanda Anisimova vs Iga Swiatek
Joe Harston Cash and Glasspool are on the home straight now as they break in the second set to go 3-2 up. A double fault from David Pel gave them the break point and then an unforced error from Rinky Hijikata — who has been so reliable at the net — handed the Brits control of the set. A desperate smash from the Australian sailed far wide of the court and towards dodging spectators in the corner. The No5 seeds followed that up with a characteristically dominant service game, winning that to love and putting themselves in an excellent position for a straight sets victory. Joe Harston It's over for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid who were unable to defend their wheelchair doubles title for a second consecutive year. Their defeat to Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren might have been in straight sets but they were both settled by fine margins, losing out in a tie-break 7-6 (7-1) in the first before being broken twice in the last three games of the second for the challengers to win 7-5. Hewett will return tomorrow to defend his singles title in his 21st grand slam singles final against Tokito Oda. Joe Harston A stunning service game from Julian Cash closes out a pretty much flawless first set for him and Lloyd Glasspool. Cash's serves were unreturnable throughout that final game. The pair are not hanging about here as they take the lead in less than half an hour. It is important not to write off Pel and Hijikata as the pair have overcome several match points just to be here, but this one is going a little different to their semi-final against the top seeds. In that one, neither side broke serve, but here they had been broken twice in their first three service games. The British pair of Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool could not have asked for a better start to this men's doubles final, taking the first set 6-2. They are aiming to become the first all-British champions since 1936. Joe Harston It's clear that David Pel's serve can be a weapon but right now he is struggling to land his first serves. There's very little room for error against Cash and Glasspool at the top of their game and that is proving to be the case here. The British pair have just broken again and are sure to take the first set here as they now lead 4-1. The Centre Court crowd are loving this one, with lots of action at the net making it a great spectacle and it's all going the right way for the No5 seeds. Joe Harston Over on No1 court, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have broken serve in the second set and are now poised to take their final to a deciding set. Joe Harston Well if there were any nerves in the British camp then they might be starting to settle as Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash broke serve to love in the very first game of this final. They followed it up with a comfortable hold of serve but could not repeat their first game heroics in the third game, just struggling to return serves with accuracy. They are winning the battle at the net so far though as they lead 2-1. Two-times defending Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz is out on the practice courts ahead of his Men's singles final tomorrow against rival Jannik Sinner. Joe Harston We are just about ready to go on Centre Court for the men's doubles final where British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool have the chance to make Wimbledon history as the first all-British winners of the open era. However, standing in their way are resident giant killers Rinky Hijikata and David Pel who should not have even been in the main draw. The pair qualified as alternates having barely spoken to each other before the Championships but now find themselves on the brink of completing the ultimate underdog story after knocking out the top seeds in the semi final. Joe Harston Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash are the first all-British team to play in the men's doubles final since 1960. They are in action on Centre Court at 1pm when they will attempt to finish off an outstanding grass court hat-trick after winning at Eastbourne and Queen's Club this year. However, looking to cause the ultimate upset are alternates Rinky Hijikata and David Pel. Their run to the final has been meteoric, having barely spoken to each other before this tournament. Their dramatic fortnight in SW19 has seen them come back from multiple match points in their opening rounds and defeat the No1 seeds in the semi-final. Joe Harston This first set has been tight to say the least with both sides breaking on multiple occasions early on. However, it is the contenders in Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren who have taken control of this one by winning the first set via a tie-break. The Brits had done excellently to force a tie-break with a break of serve in the 12th game, but they were defeated easily after that. Alfie Hewett's luck in the closing stages of the set was summed up by a forehand from the baseline that struck the net cord and bounced narrowly wide. That put the challengers 4-0 up and they went on to win that 7-1. De la Puente, maybe spurred on by his straight sets defeat to Hewett in the singles yesterday, has been masterful in this one and particularly clinical at the net where his drop shot volleys have been a major part of their first set success. Alyson Rudd The biggest disappointment of this year's Championships? Having had my hopes raised by a report stating this summer's crop of strawberries would be the sweetest in decades. I grabbed a punnet from the media cafe, poured on the cream, spooned one into my mouth and… Spat it out. So much for a rare combo of sunny days and cool nights equalling perfection. But I can report an improvement as the tournament comes to a close. They are ok now but not so lovely as to wipe the memory of that first bite. Joe Harston Good afternoon from day 13 of Wimbledon, where there are a number of finals to be settled before the main event at 4pm — the ladies' singles final. Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid have are on No1 Court where they are defending their Wimbledon title in the wheelchair doubles final. Today's opponents are No2 seeds Spain's Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren from the Netherlands. A win for the Brits today will complete a 'threepeat' at the All England Club. It's Ladies singles final day at the All England Club and we cannot wait. American Amanda Anisimova faces Iga Swiatek on Centre Court, with both women competing in the final at SW19 for the first time. That final starts around 4pm. That match will be preceded British duo Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool in the men's doubles final, which gets underway at around 1pm. We've got our reporters around the grounds in Wimbledon so stay with us for the latest updates.

Update: Date: 13:55 BST Title: Post Content: *Hijikata/Pel 2-6 2-2 Cash/Glasspool Jess AndersonBBC Sport at Wimbledon The Cashpool box are on their feet after every point at the moment.

But the top seeds are denied their seventh Wimbledon success together, despite a strong backing from their home support. They're about to go up to receive their runners-up awards and speak to the Court One crowd. Update: Date: 13:49 BST Title: Post Content: Hewett/Reid 6-7 (1-7) 5-7 De La Puente/Spaargaren Gary RoseBBC Sport at Wimbledon A Dutch fan raced down from his seat with a long lens camera at match point to catch the winning moment. I think many British fans believed that it would be a wasted effort and that Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid would battle back, as they had many times in that match, but credit to Martin de la Puente and Ruben Spaargaren as they showed real quality and resilience against the home-supporting crowd to win. A lovely moment as the two hug as well before going over to embrace their family members and team. Update: Date: 13:47 BST Title: Hijikata/Pel hold Content: Hijikata/Pel 2-6 2-1 Cash/Glasspool* Rinky Hijikata's been impressive on his service games so far.

Update: Date: 13:44 BST Title: Cash/Glasspool hold Content: *Hijikata/Pel 2-6 1-1 Cash/Glasspool Lloyd Glasspool makes no mistake on his serve, holding to 15.

The defending champions are really feeling the pressure now though! Spaargaren hits a winner for two championship points. Update: Date: 13:42 BST Title: Hijikata/Pel hold Content: Hijikata/Pel 2-6 1-0 Cash/Glasspool* Ah, well done David Pel. He's had it rough on his service games so far and it looked so again there after he gave away a break point opportunity with a double fault. But the Dutchman hits two smashes, before Rinky Hijikata volleys low and wide for the hold. Update: Date: 13:40 BST Title: Post Content: *Hewett/Reid 6-7 (1-7) 5-6 De La Puente/Spaargaren As Ruben Spaargaren receives a medical timeout for help dealing with blisters on his hand, the crowd chant the names of Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid before what they hope will not prove to be the final game of this match.

Update: Date: 13:38 BST Title: De la Puente holds serve Content: *Hewett/Reid 6-7 (1-7) 5-6 De La Puente/Spaargaren An opening for Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid at 0-30 but Reid hits long at the end of another long rally, and another couple of misses hands over the game.

Update: Date: 13:35 BST Title: Game and first set - Cash/Glasspool Content: Hijikata/Pel 2-6 Cash/Glasspool* Well, how good was that? What a sensational first set for the British pair.

Update: Date: 13:32 BST Title: Hijikata/Pel hold Content: Hijikata/Pel 2-5 Cash/Glasspool* It's a love hold on Rinky Hijikata's serve. Both holds have been on the Australian's serve, so they need David Pel to step up if they're to get anything out of this match. Update: Date: 13:30 BST Title: Cash/Glasspool hold Content: *Hijikata/Pel 1-5 Cash/Glasspool Superb service game from Lloyd Glasspool. The British pair hold to 15. They're just so much more dynamic and alert at the net than their opponents right now. Rinky Hijikata will serve to keep his pair in the first set.
