While British fans may have been hoping for a home favourite to reach the showpiece, it is the dream final for many as Carlos Alcaraz faces Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon men’s singles final.
Alcaraz is looking for his third straight Wimbledon title having beaten the legendary Novak Djokovic in the previous two finals.
The brilliant 22-year-old has played five Grand Slam finals and won all of them, with one US Open and two French Open titles to his name.
His most recent triumph at Roland Garros came thanks to a victory over Sinner in a classic final, one which will make excitement for Sunday’s action all the more keenly felt.
Sinner is the world number one, with three Grand Slam titles to his name, but he has been coming up short in his rivalry with Alcaraz of late.
The 23-year-old is into his first Wimbledon final and has the chance to get a measure of revenge for the agony of Roland Garros earlier this year.
The bookmakers cannot split the two men going into the showpiece between the two finest players on the planet.
What time is Alcaraz vs Sinner?
The men’s singles final used to start at 2pm – but it’s been pushed back two hours to 4pm at this year’s Championships by the All England Club.
It’s because Wimbledon are keen to attract more of a worldwide audience, with the singles finals in SW19 now taking place at 11am New York time, although speaking to Metro, Jamie Murray has a concern over the move.
