Wimbledon men's singles final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner delayed
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.

Tour de France 2025: stage 19 to La Plagne shortened due to diseased cattle
Update: Date: 2025-07-25T10:30:42.000Z Title: Preamble Content: Today's stage is hard. No change there. Although the route between Albertville and La Plagne, the last proper mountain stage of this year's Tour, has been shortened at the last minute due to an outbreak of disease among cattle in the local area. Initially the route was 129.9km, but the riders will now cover a little under 95km. A news update on the official Tour site reads: 'The discovery of an outbreak of contagious nodular dermatitis affecting cattle in a herd located specifically in the Col des Saisies has necessitated the culling of the animals. In light of the distress experienced by the affected farmers and in order to preserve the smooth running of the race, it has been decided, in agreement with the relevant authorities, to modify the route of Stage 19 (Albertville–La Plagne) and to avoid the ascent to the Col des Saisies.' There are three categorised climbs on the revised route: the Col de Pré (HC), the Cormet de Roseland (category two) and the HC climb to the ski resort of La Plagne to finish. The GC looks to be sewn up but there is plenty more up for grabs, especially after the Scottish rider Oscar Onley (Picnic PostNL) rode to within 22sec of third-placed Florian Lipowitz on yesterday's stage to Courchevel. The official update on Le Tour website explains more on the route: 'The ceremonial start will take place as planned at the exit of Albertville. After a 7km parade, riders will head towards the D925, where the official start will be given. The race will then rejoin the original route shortly before Beaufort (at km 52.4 on the original schedule). '… As a result, the start in the neutral zone will be given at 2:30pm, one hour later than originally scheduled.' C'est comme ça. Let's go/Allez! Stage start time: 13.45 UK/14.45 local time

Rodrygo transfer news: Odds on Liverpool, Arsenal and PSG transfers revealed for Real Madrid ace
LIVERPOOL, Arsenal and PSG are the three frontrunners to snap up Real Madrid star Rodrygo this summer. Staying in the Spanish capital is the current bookmakers favourite but the European giants continue to circle ahead of the new season. Madrid have already splashed the cash this summer with big-money deals for Dean Huijsen, Álvaro Carreras and teenage star Franco Mastantuono. That added to the £10million fee for to sign Trent Alexander-Arnold a few weeks earlier than they agreed. But it looks like certainly some of that outlay could be recouped, with Rodrygo linked with a host of top European clubs this summer. Reports in Spain claim he made it clear towards the end of the last campaign he won't play for Los Blancos again, with his relationship alongside fellow front men Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr "deteriorating". In the six Club World Cup games contested in the USA, Rodrygo saw a total of 85 minutes played - with 65 of those coming in the opening game when Mbappe was out through injury. It was also claimed he 'formally requested to leave' the club last month. Premier League sides have been on high alert regarding a potential exit, though it would take a bumper fee of nearly £80million to reportedly secure his services. A stay at Real Madrid is most likely at the moment according to bet365, who make it 10/11 odds that he'll remain at the club. Big-spending Liverpool appear his most likely destination should an exit emerge and they're 11/4 to add Rodrygo to an incoming list boasting the likes of Florian Wirtz, Huge Ekitike and Milos Kerkez. PSG looked the best team in world football in the second half of last season but their bubble has burst slightly with that humiliating defeat in the Club World Cup final, and they're 9/2 with bet365 to strengthen with Rodrygo's signature. Arsenal have been strongly linked with the Brazilian this summer but having splashed out on Noni Madueke and Viktor Gyokeres already this summer, a move for Rodrygo is surely unlikely. He's 8/1 to join the Gunners, 10/1 to move to Bayern Munich and 16/1 to jojn Tottenham and Manchester City.
