Wimbledon has announced a change to the finals schedule this weekend with the Mixed Doubles final moving to Sunday from its original Thursday slot.

Persistent rain over the last few days has meant play has only been consistently possible on Centre Court and Court 1, which both have a roof available.

This has meant the doubles events have been severely impacted, with some first-round Mixed Doubles matches not yet completed on outside courts.

As a result, tournament director Jamie Baker announced on Tuesday that the Mixed Doubles final would be moved to Sunday, following the Men’s Singles final on Centre Court, with the Women’s Doubles reverting to Saturday evening following the Men’s Doubles.

1. Gentlemen’s Singles – Quarter-Finals

Jannik Sinner (ITA) [1] v Daniil Medvedev [5]

2. Ladies’ Singles – Quarter-Finals

Jasmine Paolini (ITA) [7] v Emma Navarro (USA) [19]

1. Ladies’ Singles – Quarter-Finals

Lulu Sun (NZL) v Donna Vekic (CRO)

2. Gentlemen’s Singles – Quarter-Finals

Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) [3] v Tommy Paul (USA) [12]

A statement from Jamie Baker, Tournament Director:

Due to the persistent wet weather across the past eight days of play, we have not yet managed to complete all first round Mixed Doubles matches.

The Scheduling Committee has determined that it is no longer possible to play the Mixed Doubles Final on Thursday and has therefore made the decision to revise the Finals Schedule.

This gives us the maximum flexibility to complete The Championships on time and to play all of the respective finals on Centre Court.

The provisional Finals Schedule is now as follows:

Saturday – Centre Court – from 2pm

Match 1 – Ladies’ Singles

Match 2 – Gentlemen’s Doubles

Match 3 – Ladies’ Doubles

Sunday – Centre Court – from 2pm

Match 1 – Gentlemen’s Singles

Emma Raducanu said she stands by her decision to withdraw from her Wimbledon mixed-doubles match with Andy Murray after exiting the singles tournament following a three-set defeat to qualifier Lulu Sun.

“I don’t think you need to talk too much about Novak here at Wimbledon. He’s obviously achieved greatness many, many years. So he’s going to be a tough battle.

“But the type of battles that I want to be playing. Those are the challenges that I want to take advantage of and go out there and show what I can do.

“I feel like Novak is a lot more constant and solid with his level throughout the whole match.”

De Minaur takes on Djokovic in the quarter-finals on Wednesday…

The total prize money at Wimbledon has reached £50m for the first time ahead of the 2024 Championships. The winner of the men’s and women’s singles titles will take home a record £2.7m each, with the runner-ups earning £1.4m.

The prize money increases round-by-round, starting from £60,000 for reaching the first round – even if you don’t win.

Carlos Alcaraz and Marketa Vondrousova took home a record £2.35m last year, with the prize money for the men’s and women’s singles champion increasing by almost 15 per cent in 2024.

A total prize fund of £50m includes singles, doubles and wheelchair events and represents an 11.9 increase from last year.

Here’s how it breaks down:

The Serbian was repeatedly showered with cries of “Rune,” which he maintained were supposed to serve as boos in a spicy atmosphere at SW19.

And Djokovic, a seven-time champion at Wimbledon, took aim at those cheering Rune and explained why he thought it was “disrespectful”.

“To all the fans that have respect and have stayed here tonight, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it,” Djokovic said.

American 13th seed Fritz sealed his place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals with an epic 4-6 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (3) 6-3 victory in three hours and 29 minutes.

The last time Fritz played on Centre Court, in 2022, he came out on the wrong side of a five-set quarter-final against Rafael Nadal.

It was a defeat that left Fritz in tears for weeks afterwards, but it also turned out to be Nadal’s last appearance in SW19, as such was the intensity of the match the Spaniard aggravated an injury which forced him to withdraw from the semi-final.

Wimbledon organisers are confident of finishing the tournament on time despite forecasts of more wet weather this week.

There were only two dry days in the first week and some events are already behind schedule following numerous delays.

Conditions are forecast to be similar for the second week, but chief executive Sally Bolton believes they can get back on schedule.
