Wimbledon men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner delayed
Wimbledon were forced to delay the start time of the men's singles final on Sunday by 10 minutes due to a lengthy women's doubles final on Centre Court. In a year where Wimbledon have moved the singles start times from 2pm to 4pm, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were left waiting for the three-set doubles final – which started at 1pm - to conclude. It finished just before 3:30pm (BST), but after the presentation ceremony, the referee's office confirmed that the men's singles final would start at the slightly later time of 4:10pm. Alcaraz and Sinner, the top two players in the world, are facing each other again just five weeks on from their incredible final at the French Open, which lasted five-and-a-half hours. Meanwhile, in the doubles final, eighth seeds Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens beat fourth seeds Hsieh Su-wei and Jelena Ostapenko 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.

Lila Moss cuts a sophisticated figure in a chic navy dress as she arrives at Wimbledon for the men's singles final after enjoying Ibiza trip with mum Kate
Lila Moss cut a sophisticated figure in a navy dress as she arrived at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club on Sunday for day 14 of Wimbledon. The model, 22, looked incredible in the sleeveless number as she prepared to watch the hotly-anticipated men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Lila made sure all eyes were on her in the long striking dress which showed off her amazing figure and featured a plunging lace up neckline. The daughter of supermodel Kate Moss, who recently returned from a fun girls' trip to Ibiza with her mum, elevated her frame in a pair of white towering heels and toted her belongings in a coordinated handbag. Styling her blonde tresses in a neat up do, she accessorised her outfit with a pair of gold hoop earrings and opted for a pair of sunglasses for the hot weather. Lila flashed her gorgeous smile as she arrived at SW19 along with a number of Hollywood stars ahead of the men's singles final. Defending champion Alcaraz is hoping to continue his winning streak against world No 1 Sinner, who is looking to avenge his French Open defeat. While Alcaraz is battling to join an elite club of men who have won the title three years in succession, which at present includes only Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic. Even Alcaraz's hero Nadal's only won two Wimbledon crowns. Between 2003 to 2023, Roger Federer, Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic accumulated 66 Grand Slam titles between them. However, Djokovic's semi-final defeat is just the latest evidence that a changing of the guard has taken place, with Sinner and Alcaraz perhaps the next big rivalry to dominate the sport. Between them, Alcaraz and Sinner have shared the last six Grand Slam titles and their mesmeric clash last month in the longest-ever French Open final is being touted as one of the greatest of all time. Lila's arrival at the championship came after her mum K ate was spotted puffing on a vape and sipping a beer as she enjoyed a day out at BST Hyde Park where Neil Young was headlining. The image of Kate with a beer and vape in hand is in stark contrast to the clean-living persona she's had in recent years following her heyday in which she was nicknamed 'The Tank' by friends for her love of substances. She recently sparked concern among her fanbase after being filmed looking 'fraught' and 'on edge' as she sat front row at Paris Fashion Week. The daughter of supermodel Kate Moss elevated her frame in a pair of white towering heels and toted her belongings in a coordinated handbag Kate was thought to have given up alcohol back in 2017 in favour of juice fasts and reformer Pilates, even selling her own range of teas and skincare products through her beauty and wellness brand, Cosmoss. And while she has long struggled to give up her nicotine habit, just two years ago Kate - once hailed the 'greatest smoker of all time' - was seen puffing away on a vape in an attempt to give up the cigarettes. Kate and Lila have spoken candidly in the past about their unconventional relationship, with Kate telling Vogue in 2023: 'There were still rules in our house – always say please and thank you; never go out with wet hair or you'll catch a cold – even if I wasn't that strict. Now that she's 21, Lila's the one setting rules for me. 'Wear SPF50; quit smoking… Although she did give me this cigarette case as a gift recently that I just love... She's flown the nest now, and got her own place in downtown New York, but she's still so young in my mind... 'I feel like I'd already lived quite a few lives by Lila's age. I'd gone abroad. I'd had one serious boyfriend – and moved on to the next. In a lot of ways, though, Lila is so much more grown-up than I was in my 20s... 'Watching her establishing her career as a model takes me right back to the '90s when I was just starting out, but I know that things will be different for her.' 'She understands she can say no, for one thing, which I never did, and she has the right people around her – I've made sure of that. And let's face it, she's a lot more sensible than I was back then. I mean… thank God. Ha!'

Wimbledon 2025 men's final live: Two-time defending champion Alcaraz takes on Sinner in blockbuster rematch
Wimbledon reaches a climax today with the men's singles final, with the top two seeds – and the best men's players in the world at the moment – facing off for grand slam glory. Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion, is aiming for a rare three-peat on the hallowed turf, but to do so he'll have to get past top seed and his greatest rival Jannik Sinner. The Italian lost the pair's only previous meeting in a major final, a heartbreaker at the French Open last month when he held match points, and will be out for revenge in today's rematch. Sinner swept aside Novak Djokovic in straight sets in the semi-finals, while Alcaraz came out on top in four sets against fourth seed Taylor Fritz to set up a mouthwatering clash between two titans of the modern game. Centre Court ticket-holders will hope it's a more competitive affair than Saturday's women's final, which saw Iga Swiatek crush Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 to become the first-ever Polish singles' champion at SW19, and the first to dish out a double-bagel scoreline in the showpiece since 1911. Brits Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool make tennis history Fifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool capped their dream summer with the Wimbledon crown and first Grand Slam title as a pair when the British team downed Rinky Hijikata and David Pel 6-2 7-6(3) in the men's doubles final on Saturday. Queen's Club and Eastbourne champions Cash and Glasspool became the first all-British pairing to win the All England Club trophy since 1936, when Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey defeated their compatriots Charles Hare and Frank Wilde in the final. The local favourites shot out of the blocks after an early break thanks to a poor service game from Pel and raced through the opening set with minimum fuss, leaving fans buzzing on a sun-drenched Centre Court. The Australian-Dutch duo of Hijikata and Pel saved a break point at the start of the second set and applied pressure in the fourth game but their opponents were equal to the task and took a step towards the title when they went 4-2 up. Hijikata and Pel, who entered the tournament as alternates and survived match points in their first two rounds, drew level after eight games before Cash and Glasspool moved up a gear in the tiebreak to prevail and spark huge celebrations.

Seven-time winner Djokovic, 38, was eyeing a seventh consecutive final at the All England Club but was hampered by injury against world No 1 Sinner. The Italian set up a tantalising rematch with Carlos Alcaraz - after their French Open epic last month - with a convincing straight-sets victory. Djokovic admitted pre-tournament he was unsure whether 2025 would represent a 'last dance' in SW19 but insisted he does not want the loss to Sinner to be his final act on Centre Court 'I would be sad,' Djokovic said, when asked if this was going to be his last match at Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic reveals prospects of playing at Wimbledon again Seven-time champion Djokovic was hampered by injury as he lost his semi-final to Jannik Sinner Sinner overcomes injured Djokovic to book Alcaraz rematch in men's singles final Strap yourselves in, folks. Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz have endured their fair share of frights over the past 12 days at the All England Club, but the two leading stars in men's tennis are not to be denied. They have, we have, a thrilling rematch ahead of us on Sunday afternoon, five weeks on from their Roland Garros epic. And with the greatest of respect to Novak Djokovic, a seven-time champion no less, this is the final Wimbledon will have wanted too. On Friday, both Alcaraz and Sinner emerged victorious in their semi-finals but it was Sinner – the world No 1, chasing a first Wimbledon title – who made the most emphatic statement. Taking on Djokovic, eyeing a seventh consecutive final here, Sinner walked onto Centre Court and played lights-out tennis. It was the closest thing to flawless we've seen all year. In less than two hours, Djokovic – albeit a Djokovic hampered by injury – was swatted aside like a rookie on the south-west London stage he has made his own, the scoreline a devastating 6-3, 6-3, 6-4. Demolition job complete.

Anisimova was the first Wimbledon women's singles finalist not to win a game for more than century, going back to 1911. The American 23-year-old was blown away by Swiatek, who secured her sixth grand-slam title and first at Wimbledon, and seemed gripped by nerves as she failed to recreate the performance which knocked out world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the semi-finals.

The American became the first women's singles player to lose a Wimbledon final 6-0, 6-0 since 1911, with the contest ending in just under an hour. Anisimova had beaten world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka to reach the final, displaying the form of her life to seize a first grand slam final appearance. But after failing to find anything close to her best form that had seen her reach this stage, a brave Anisimova delivered a speech in front of the Centre Court crowd, paying tribute to her family for their help in her journey.

By the third, with the American facing three break points at 0-40, the crowd's cheers had dissipated into a hum of whispered concern. Iga Swiatek quickly sealed the break, and Anisimova's nightmare had begun. It was arguably the worst set of tennis in Wimbledon's long history of finals, perhaps of any grand slam final. She served three double faults and put only 33 per cent of first serves in (Swiatek landed 80 per cent); most tellingly, she made an eye-watering 14 unforced errors in just six games (Swiatek made only two). Anisimova won nine points in 25 minutes and lost 27.

Wimbledon bosses face ratings disaster after plan to get more viewers for men's final threatens to backfire
WIMBLEDON's decision to change the start time of the men's singles final to try and grab the biggest TV audience might backfire – as viewers turn over to watch live football. Multiple Grand Slam champions Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz – the top two players on the ATP circuit – will face each other on Sunday in the climax to the men's Championship on Centre Court. 5 For the first time, the clash has been moved back by TWO HOURS from its normal slot of 2pm to 4pm. Wimbledon bosses are desperate to have as many eyeballs as possible globally watching the action, particularly in the key US market. They also argue this decision will give more prominence to the women's doubles final, which starts before that five-setter, though it is normally played late in the evening in front of sparse crowds. Yet the Club World Cup Final in New Jersey between Chelsea and Paris Saint-Germain starts at 8pm on Sunday evening on Channel 5. And at the same time the Lionesses will continue the defence of their European football title as they take on Wales in their final group match in Switzerland. Sinner and Alcaraz played each other in the French Open final in Paris five weeks ago and that lasted five-and-a-half hours as the Spaniard, 22, sensationally came from two sets down to prevail. Should the Wimbledon final take several hours, and both men have shown supreme form this fortnight as they chase the £3million top prize, then punters may switch off before it finishes to catch the footie. And, of course, the roof might need to be closed for bad light if the match is still going on past 8.30pm. This issue of a clash with other major sporting events will become a factor next year when the Fifa World Cup Finals take place in the US, Canada and Mexico. The later start will also be a factor when the European Championships are staged in the UK in 2028. Wimbledon have defended the controversial decision, with CEO Sally Bolton saying: 'Adjusting the finals weekend to have the doubles starting at 1pm and singles at 4pm will provide a weekend of excitement. 'Both days will culminate with the singles champions being crowned in front of the largest possible worldwide audience. 'The consideration of this change has taken us a long time to go. There has been a lot of thought and data analysis before altering the finals schedule. 'It's about ensuring we have an improved experience for all involved. 'We believe we can give an outstanding outcome for everyone from the change.' Asked if there would ever be flexibility with the timing in future years, Bolton added: 'We've been up against football and other sporting tournaments before. 'And whilst there's usually some impact, it's never caused us a significant amount of concern. 'As we were working through the range of factors in making this decision, clearly that was one of those. 'As with any change we make at the Championships, we are always reviewing the decisions we've made, whether they've worked, whether we can tweak them. 'So, we're confident we've made the right decision, but as we always do, we will review that after this year's Championships.' 5 WIMBLEDON 2025 LIVE - FOLLOW ALL THE LATEST SCORES AND UPDATES FROM A THRILLING FORTNIGHT AT SW19 5 5
