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.
