    Fritz will regret not taking one of those two set points in the tie break.

    Alfie Hewitt doing what he does best. Defending champion through to the final. Beating Martin de la Puente, who he played and beat in last year's final, 6 - 0 7 - 5. 

    He's playing Sunday morning against Tokito Oda in the final

    Sinner wins first set 6 - 3

    Djokovic struggling with his forehand and getting his first serve in. Similar to his slow start in the first set of his quarter final match. 

    Sinner however looks well up for it. Sliding and running all over the court.

    Christ the way the commentators are going about it you would think Novak is going to be taken outside and shot like an old racehorse.

    Was trying to blend joke for jokervic as Macenroe says it and Jockey for the old horse gag.
    missed from two yards out!

    Great win for Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool making history by becoming the first all-British pair to win the men's doubles title at Wimbledon for 89 years.

    Perhaps she's not well, she's a different player from the one that beat Sabalenka.

    Poor girl, must be so hard to talk after that match. It's a hard watch.

    Losing 0 and 0 is bad any time but on that stage is hard, never happened before either.

    The sort of achievement which really ought to get more attention than it will.

    I think there is some merit in them not getting as much. Do you think they do half the training, half the team and half the costs?

    If I had paid a fortune to watch the ladies final today,I would demand a refund,under an hour of a one sided ,embarrassing match.They will get paid the same  money as Alcaraz and Sinner get tommorrow.

    Women's tennis does have a major issue with the lack of epic finals. 3 sets instead of 5 doesn't help of course,  but while I can think of great women players, I'm struggling to recall any really memorable matches.

    Anisimovas mum hasn’t watched her play before because she didn’t want to jinx it, flew over for the final.
