The Wimbledon men’s singles final has been delayed from its initially planned start time of 4pm on Sunday. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have seen their preparations hampered, with the pair forced to wait before emerging on Centre Court in front of a packed crowd.
The delay is speculated to be due to the women’s doubles final going the distance, with Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens crowned champions after two hours and 23 minutes. They came back from set down and a break down in the decider, to triumph 6-3 2-6 4-6 over Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei.
An announcement at the All England Club was broadcast on the tannoy confirming a new start time for the final.
It read: “Just a message from the referee’s office, the gentlemen’s singles final will start at 4.10pm.”
