Wimbledon briefing: Day 13 recap and men's final preview
Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will face each other in the men's final on the last day of action at the All England Club.
Here, the PA news agency looks back at Saturday's events and previews day 14 of the Championships.
Swiatek records historic double bagel
Iga Swiatek crushed Amanda Anisimova in the most one-sided Wimbledon final for 114 years.
Anisimova, playing in her first grand slam showpiece, failed to win a single game, with Swiatek racing to a 6-0 6-0 victory on a stunned Centre Court in only 57 minutes.
Not since 1911, when Dorothea Lambert Chambers beat Dora Boothby, had a Wimbledon final been decided by such a scoreline, while the only other instance at a grand slam came in the French Open in 1988 when Steffi Graf beat Natasha Zvereva.
Swiatek, who claimed her sixth grand slam title but first on grass, believes her Wimbledon title is the perfect response to her critics.
'For sure, the past months, how the media sometimes describe me – and I've got to say, unfortunately, Polish media, how they treated me and my team, it wasn't really pleasant,' said the 24-year-old Pole.
'I hope they will just leave me alone and let me do my job because obviously you can see that we know what we are doing, and I have the best people around me.
A distraught Anisimova said: 'It's not how I would have wanted my first grand slam final to go. I think I was a little bit in shock after. But I told myself, I'll definitely come out stronger after this.'
Doubles delight
British pair Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool made Wimbledon history by winning the men's doubles title.
Cash, 28, and 31-year-old Glasspool beat Australian Rinky Hijikata and David Pel of the Netherlands 6-2 7-6 (3) in the final on Centre Court.
The duo are the first all-British pairing to win the title since Pat Hughes and Raymond Tuckey lifted the trophy in 1936.
Jonny Marray, Neal Skupski and Henry Patten 12 months ago have all been home winners at Wimbledon in the last 15 years, but all with foreign partners.
Match of the day
Jannik Sinner insisted his Paris heartbreak is ancient history as he prepares to face Carlos Alcaraz again in the men's singles final.
Five weeks after the Spaniard saved three match points and fought back from two sets down in an epic five-and-a-half-hour French Open final, the great rivals will meet again on Centre Court.
'I think if it would be a lot in my head, I would not be in the situation to play a final again,' said Sinner. 'I'm very happy to share once again the court with Carlos. It's going to be difficult, I know that. But I'm looking forward to it.'

Alcaraz, chasing a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles, cannot help but be buoyed by his Paris exploits.
'I still think about that moment, sometimes,' he said. 'It was the best match that I have ever played so far.
'I'm not surprised he pushed me to the limit. I expect that on Sunday. I'm just excited about it. I hope not to be five hours and a half on court again. If I have to, I will. But I think it's going to be great.'

Wimbledon 2025: Absolutely Everything We Know About Jannik Sinner's Love Life
After two weeks of intense tennis (and the obligatory celeb spotting, of course), Wimbledon has come to an end, with Jannik Skinner being crowned the men's champion. In a tense match, Sinner triumphed over Carlos Alcaraz, becoming the first Italian to win the singles titles at Wimbledon. The victory was extra sweet for Sinner, who previously lost to Alcaraz in the French Open final. The trophy was presented by Kate Middleton, and Sinner also got the chance to speak to Prince George and Princess Charlotte. Speaking about a conversation he had with the young royals, Sinner said: 'I asked the kids if they play tennis and asked them what kind of rackets they play, these kind of things.' With Sinner in the headlines, there's lots of interest in this personal life - especially who he is dating. On Google, search for 'Jannik Sinner girlfriend' is up by 1,000%. In a press conference in May, Sinner shut down any rumours that he was in a relationship. 'There's a lot of attention,' he said. 'Also, off the court, I was surprised to see some pictures, which, nothing serious. I'm not in a relationship!' However, some recent reports have linked Sinner to model Laila Hasanovic. Laila is an influencer from Denmark, and she has over 350,000 followers on Instagram. She has recently been spotted at some of Sinner's matches, including at Wimbledon. Previously, Laila dated Michael Schumacher's son, Mick, for around three years. The couple reportedly separated earlier this year, although Laila clearly made an impact on him - Hasanovic was reportedly among the few people who were allowed to visit Michael. Of course, the reports of a budding romance between Sinner and Hasanovic are all just speculation at this stage, and neither party has confirmed this is the case. Yes! Jannik used to date Anna Kalinskaya, who is a Russian tennis player. They went public with their relationship in May 2024, but confirmed their split a year later. According to Sinner said last year: 'Yes, I'm with Anna, but we keep everything very confidential,' adding ' I won't say more.' Anna is a talented tennis player. As of July, 2025, she is ranked 39th on the WTA website. She has had success in three double titles on the WTA Tour and one single title on the WTA Challenger Tour, and gave an incredible performance at the 2024 Australian Open, where she reached the quarter finals. She also finished as a runner-up at the 2024 Berlin Ladies Open. With them both being tennis stars, it's no surprise that Jannik and Anna first crossed paths on the tennis circuit. When they were together, they regularly stepped out to support each other at their matches, and were spotted training together during a practice session ahead of Wimbledon 2024. Jannik confirmed he was single in May 2025, while speaking at a press conference during the Italian Open, although he didn't give a reason why their relationship came to an end.
