Alcaraz vs Sinner Wimbledon final time, how to watch, head-to-head and odds
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. 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. The match will be shown on BBC One and streamed on both the BBC website and iPlayer. Alcaraz leads the personal head-to-head between the two players 8-4 and has won their last five meetings. The last time Sinner beat the Spaniard was in 2023 in Beijing, although he did win their only previous meeting at Wimbledon. Sinner was the last person to beat Alcaraz at Wimbledon, doing so in the fourth round in 2022, before the Spanish superstar won the next two editions of the event. 9/10 Alcaraz 9/10 Sinner Odds courtesy of Betfair Australian Open 2024 – Jannik Sinner – Jannik Sinner French Open 2024 – Carlos Alcaraz – Carlos Alcaraz Wimbledon 2024 – Carlos Alcaraz – Carlos Alcaraz US Open 2024 – Jannik Sinner – Jannik Sinner Australian Open 2025 – Jannik Sinner – Jannik Sinner French Open 2025 – Carlos Alcaraz MORE: John McEnroe urges Wimbledon bosses to impose new ban on finalists MORE: Amanda Anisimova breaks down in tears after most brutal Wimbledon final ever MORE: John McEnroe reacts to Amanda Anisimova losing 6-0 6-0 in Wimbledon final

Tennis star crowned 'sexiest alive' who suffered Wimbledon heartbreak now unrecognisable
Tennis star crowned 'sexiest alive' who suffered Wimbledon heartbreak now unrecognisable Pat Rafter was one of the biggest stars of the tennis circuit in the 1990s, winning two Grand Slam titles and reaching the final of Wimbledon twice - plus earning a unique title Pat Rafter found love with model Lara Feltham after becoming tennis' resident heartthrob (Image: Getty Images ) Pat Rafter has long abandoned the ponytail style that helped earn him the title of 'Sexiest Athlete Alive' almost three decades ago. The Australian emerged on the tennis circuit during the 1990s. He secured his place in the sport's record books with a landmark season in '97, capturing his first Grand Slam title at that year's US Open. Beyond the court, he became quite the heartthrob. His flowing hair, which he would tie back during matches, combined with his stubbled jaw and toned physique, was sufficient to earn him recognition from People magazine as the planet's most attractive sporting figure that same year. Like the rest of us, Rafter, who reached the Wimbledon final twice, hasn't escaped the effects of time. Though now 52, he continues to cut a dapper figure. His public outings have been sparse in recent years. He has occasionally worked as a pundit in his home country, while also taking on administrative roles with governing body Tennis Australia. However, he appeared at the Brisbane International tournament in December, participating in an exhibition match at the arena bearing his name. After removing his cap following play, he was spotted with a swept-back hairstyle whilst signing autographs for spectators, his hair no longer reaching his shoulders as it once did. Article continues below Rafter achieved iconic status by breaking his country's drought for a major title, successfully defending his US Open championship in 1998. "I was at a time where there weren't a lot of players around," he reflected in 2017. Rafter no longer has his ponytail aged 52 (Image: Getty Images ) "I came on the scene, I won a couple of Slams and then I was revered a little bit more than if I had won that back in the 70s. You would have just gone, 'There's another good tennis player from Australia.' Maybe the personality of the media made me into something bigger than what I actually was. That's OK." He narrowly missed out on victory at SW19, taking the lead against Pete Sampras in the men's final of 2000 before, by his own admission, "choking" after losing the second set tie-break. Sampras went on to win three sets to one. The Aussie icon was twice a Wimbledon runner-up (Image: Getty Images ) A year later, he once again made the final, this time facing Goran Ivanisevic. The Croatian triumphed in a five-set nail-biter, leaving Rafter once again as the runner-up. Article continues below After hanging up his racket in 2003, he settled down with former model Lara Feltham, tying the knot the following year. The couple have two children, Joshua and India, who are now grown up. These days, they can chuckle at how their father, who dated a string of Dutch models before finding love with their mother, was once so in demand. He famously joked: "You know what, it is exhausting being this good-looking."

No Ryder Cup regrets for Keegan Bradley over huge call as Team USA pal insists he can wear two hats
Xander Schauffele has no doubt his captain won't regret his choice Convinced Xander Schauffele insists Keegan Bradley will not regret his Ryder Cup decision. The American skipper is facing an epic dilemma with just over two months to go before the Bethpage crunch. Bradley's outstanding play has seen him rocket into contention for a playing place in the 12-man hosts unit. However, with the demands of a modern-day Ryder Cup, incredible strain would be placed onto the 39-year-old if he opts to captain and play at the same time. Schauffele will be in the side and, asked if its possible to wear both hats and do both jobs during since a seismic week, he said: 'Yeah, clearly he's earning it. If you ask him, he's playing the best golf of his career. We just want our best 12 playing. I think that's sort of what it really comes down to. 'So he is just flying up the qualifying, that standings leaderboard. Would I be surprised if he got into the top six and wasn't even a conversation anymore? I don't think I'd be very surprised and I don't think he would, either. 'If he does, it's going to be a fun situation for himself, but I think he's surrounded himself with really good vice captains. I don't think he's going to make a decision he regrets.' Bradley has Jim Furyk, Brandt Snedeker, Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner and Gary Woodland as vice-captains and, speaking at his pre-tournament briefing at the Genesis Scottish Open, Schauffele continued: 'You have to prepare and practise and get your head in the right place. It would probably be some sort of co-captaincy. It wouldn't be that on paper. He would still be. But, at the end of the day, they are big shoes to fill and to do it all alone would be really difficult, even if he wasn't playing.' Europe's stars are intrigued at the situation with Rory McIlroy stating the importance of having Luke Donald as focal-point figurehead for his team. McIlroy believes Bradley is the right form to play at Bethpage, but said: 'I think they give the captaincy a different perspective, absolutely. It really feels like it's a player-led team in America. Obviously, we have our input as players on The European Team, but we do have that one figurehead in Luke. I think that's important. 'I think even going back to Rome, when the Americans got off to a pretty rough start, I think because Zach [Johnson] gave the team so much ownership, they had no one to look to. They were looking at each other instead of having a focal point, tell us what to do. 'That is something that Europe has done very, very well. But also the players have allowed the captain to be a captain as well. Keegan has played great. He's had a great year. He had the win at the Travelers. Obviously I'm not in those conversations and from an outside perspective, it's going to be interesting to see what the US Team does with that. 'I definitely think the US Team is better with Keegan playing than not playing. I definitely think he's one of the best 12 American players right now. It's going to be an interesting couple months to see how that all shakes out.'
