Karolina Muchova faces Linda Noskova in an all-Czech women’s singles final on Centre Court on Saturday.

The match will start not before 16:00 BST.

Muchova reached the showpiece with a remarkable three-set triumph over Coco Gauff, with Noskova beating Marta Kostyuk in straight sets.

Before that, from 13:00, is the men’s doubles final involving Britain’s Henry Patten, playing alongside Harri Heliovaara as the top seeds up against Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.

On Court One from 11:00, British pair and six-time Wimbledon wheelchair doubles champions Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid take on Gustavo Fernandez and Tokito Oda in their fifth successive final at SW19.

When is the men’s singles final?

The men’s singles final, between defending champion Jannik Sinner and second seed Alexander Zverev, will start not before 16:00 BST on Sunday.

Sinner produced a devastating display to end Novak Djokovic’s latest bid for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title, while Zverev denied Britain’s Arthur Fery a place in the final to end his unforgettable Wimbledon.

First up on Centre Court on Sunday will be the women’s doubles final.

Who are the defending champions?

Sinner is the favourite to win the men’s title in the absence of injured two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz.

Defending women’s champion Iga Swiatek was beaten in the third round by Alexandra Eala.

What happened to British players in the singles draw?

Eighteen of the 19 British players who started in the singles draws were knocked out in the first two rounds.

The 10 losses by British players on the opening day of their home Grand Slam was the most at SW19 since daily records began in 2000.

Katie Swan, Jacob Fearnley, Jan Choinski and Fery made it through on the opening Tuesday but a further five players fell to opening-round defeats – meaning the total number of first-round losses for home players was the most since 16 exited in 1988.

Fery was the last Briton in the singles, going all the way to the last four before being beaten in straight sets by Zverev.

Six British players were ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the singles draws, but Choinski was the only one to reach the second round.

Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper pulled out prior to their first-round matches because of injury, while men’s number one Cameron Norrie lost to Michael Zheng in five sets and Francesca Jones and Katie Boulter also departed.

What is the prize money this year?

The total prize fund at this year’s Wimbledon will be ÂŁ64.2m, following the largest annual increase in the event’s history.

The singles’ champions will each take home ÂŁ3.6m with first-round losers paid ÂŁ80,000.

More than ÂŁ6m has been set aside for the qualifying competition – an increase of 25%.

Overall prize money has increased by ÂŁ10.7m, with leading players welcoming the 20% increase in prize money as a “genuine and significant step forward”.

However, they still expanded their protests about prize money – limiting the time they offered at the media weekend.
