Alcaraz vs Sinner Wimbledon final time, how to watch, head-to-head and odds
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

Venus Williams to make shock return to Grand Slam tennis after fibroids surgery and 16-month absence
Former world number one Venus Williams has been listed among the mixed doubles pairings for next month's US Open. The 45-year-old is preparing for her return at the Washington Open this week after a difficult year marked by health concerns and time away from the court. She has not competed since the Miami Open in March 2024 and has not won a match since defeating Russia's Veronika Kudermetova in the first round of the Cincinnati Open in August 2023. But Williams' name has now cropped up among a new list of entries into the star-studded mixed doubles tournament in New York. Along with Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu and Emma Navarro and Jannik Sinner, Williams has been listed as an entrant alongside partner Reilly Opelka. The seven-time Grand Slam champion declined wildcard entries into the Washington Open in the past but said she felt up to the challenge this year. 'Most of the time I don't (take up the offer to play as a wildcard),' she said with a laugh on Sunday. 'But this time I had been hitting the ball. And of course I love the game and the hard courts, it's my favorite surface, what I feel comfortable on. So all those different factors.' Williams is setting new personal goals, prioritizing enjoyment over results. 'My personal goal is to have fun and enjoy the moment, not put too much pressure on myself,' she said. 'I don't know if I define success at this moment in any sort of way other than believing in myself and sticking to my process. That's not easy to do, especially after a layoff. So those are my goals.' Williams has won the Wimbledon singles title five times and the U.S. Open twice, as well as 14 Grand Slam women's doubles titles alongside her younger sister Serena. She faces fellow American Peyton Stearns in the first round of the WTA 500 tournament on Tuesday. She's also playing in the women's doubles with Hailey Baptiste. Reflecting on her future in the sport, she remained characteristically private. 'I think I know what I want to do, but I don't always want to talk about it,' she said. 'I'm just here for now, and who knows? Maybe there's more. Like I said, I hold my cards close, but at the moment, I'm focused just on this.' Williams also opened up about her health struggles including her surgery last year to remove fibroids - painful but benign tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus. 'My health journey was very scary,' she said. 'You know, this time a year ago I was preparing to go to surgery. There was no way for me to play tennis or play the U.S. Open. I was just trying to get healthy.' Known for her powerful game, Williams is determined to stick to her strengths. 'I'm still the same player,' she said. 'I'm a big hitter... This is my brand. So it's about hitting big and actually putting it in. So this will be my effort - put it in the court. That's my main goal.'

Venus Williams is back in tennis and wishes Serena would come out of retirement to join the fun
Venus Williams is back on the tennis scene, ready to compete for the first time in more than a year, and while she smiled or laughed frequently Sunday while discussing her return at the DC Open, there was something that would make her even happier: if her younger sister Serena were along for the ride. 'I keep saying to my team: The only thing that would make this better is if she was here. Like, we always did everything together, so of course I miss her,' Venus said when asked about a recent video on social media that showed Serena swinging a racket. 'But if she comes back, I'm sure she'll let y'all know.' That, of course, was said with a wide grin. Serena, 43, hasn't played since the 2022 U.S. Open, when she declared she was 'evolving' away from the sport she dominated for stretches on the way to 23 Grand Slam singles titles and an additional 14 in doubles with Venus. 'I don't know what she's going to do. I don't ask those questions,' Venus said a day before the hard-court tournament in the nation's capital begins. 'I think we always hit the ball, because that's who we are. We're always hitting.' She said it was during a recent practice session of hers that Serena showed up and joined in for about 15 or 20 minutes. 'She can take six months off and she clocks it clean,' Venus said. 'You can't teach that kind of talent. She's just so good.' They both were the best around at one point. Both reached No. 1 in the rankings. Venus, who turned 45 last month, won seven major singles championships, two at the U.S. Open and five at Wimbledon. Her last tournament was in March 2024 at the Miami Open, where she exited in the first round. It's been so long that the official WTA Tour website lists her as 'inactive.' 'This is very special for me to come back and play tennis,' Venus said. 'I think it's a surprise for the fans — and a surprise in general, as I hold my cards tight.' Sure does. It came as a bit of a shock to the tennis world when her appearance in Washington via a wild-card invitation was announced a week ago. Her team had reached out to DC Open chairman Mark Ein via text in April to gauge whether he'd be open to having Venus at an event she last entered in 2022. He said he needed two seconds to reply: 'Of course.' 'She's such an icon of the sport — and, importantly, both on and off the court,' Ein said in an interview. 'So anytime you can have her engaged and have the spotlight on her and everything she's done and continues to do, it's hugely positive.' What did she miss the most while away from the tour? 'All the times that I had and, of course, the adrenaline, all those things,' Venus said. 'Just the pure fun of playing the game, the fun of the challenge, overcoming — when you play, you overcome so many challenges: your opponents, the conditions, a lot of times you have to overcome yourself. Those things are very exciting.' When asked why she's getting back on court, Venus offered a simple response: 'Why not?' As for whether this is a one-stop tour or she plans to play elsewhere, she wasn't prepared to say much. 'I'm just here for now, and who knows?' Venus said. 'Maybe there's more. ... But at the moment, I'm focused just on this. I haven't played in a year. There is no doubt I can play tennis, but obviously coming back to play matches, it takes time to get in the swing of things. I definitely feel I'll play well. I'm still the same player. I'm a big hitter. I hit big. This is my brand.'

Here's how Wimbledon expansion could look after High Court ruling
Plans to nearly treble Wimbledon's size will proceed after a judge denied a legal challenge against the expansion's planning permission. The proposals will see an additional 39 courts, including an 8-000-seat stadium, called the Parkland Show Court, to be added. Space will be created on the grounds of the old Wimbledon Park golf club. As well as the new court infrastructure, seven new maintenance buildings and access points will be built around the site. The conversion of the private golf course will also open up around 27 acres of parkland with public access. Meanwhile, parts of Wimbledon Lake will be remodelled, including the addition of a boardwalk around and across it. The works will increase the daily spectator capacity for the annual summer tennis tournament from 42,000 to 50,000. As a result, the qualifying event for the competition will be able to move back to the site from nearby Roehampton. The 120-year-old Wimbledon Park golf club was sold to the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), which owns the site and runs the tournament, for £65 million in 2018. Wimbledon's expansion is thought to have been driven by fears that it could start to trail rival Grand Slam venues in Australia, France and the US who have invested hundreds of millions in state-of-the-art upgrades in recent years. Bosses hope the park will be able to partly open next year, with the grass courts completed by 2027. They would enter use for the qualifiers and championships by 2029 after the grass has matured. The Parkland Show Court is expected to be complete by 2030. Save Wimbledon Park's (SWP), the campaign group behind the High Court challenge, suggested it will appeal, adding: 'SWP is not taking this step lightly but believes that the GLA did make a significant legal error in the way it dealt with the special legal status of the park.' Christopher Coombe, director of SWP, said: 'This judgment would, if it stands, set a worrying precedent for the unwanted development of protected green belt and public open spaces around London and across the country. 'The (All England Club) will surely have noted the considerable public outrage about this development, most recently expressed outside the law courts, and we continue to hope that they could be persuaded to engage constructively with us, with a view to achieving a resolution of this four-year-old dispute.' Deborah Jevans CBE, chairwoman of the All England Club, said: 'We are delighted that Mr Justice Saini has dismissed the challenge to the GLA's decision to grant planning permission for our plans to transform the former Wimbledon Park golf course. 'It is clear that we have a robust planning permission that enables us to create a permanent home for the Wimbledon qualifying competition as well as delivering 27 acres of beautiful new parkland for local people, providing public access to land that has been a private golf course for over 100 years. 'We have spoken to more than 10,000 people who have taken the time to come in person and understand our plans in detail. 'The vast majority of people just want us to get on and deliver the many benefits on offer as soon as possible. 'We now turn our attention to separate legal proceedings to give everyone reassurance that there is not, nor has there ever been, a statutory trust over the former golf course land. 'This hearing is due to take place in January 2026.' Mayor of London Sir Sadiq Khan added: 'This is welcome news that will cement Wimbledon's reputation as the greatest tennis competition in the world and London as the sporting capital of the world. 'This scheme will bring a significant range of economic, social, cultural and environmental benefits to the local area, the wider capital and the UK economy, creating new jobs and green spaces.'
