The Spaniard takes on Italy’s Sinner in a dream final today, just weeks on from their all-time classic at the French Open.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz won that marathon match in Paris and will now be looking to do a double over his rival.<\/p>\n

Sinner, meanwhile, is yet to win Wimbledon and will be hoping today is his day to take glory.<\/p>\n

But in a change to tradition, the final will get underway later than usual.<\/p>\n

When is Wimbledon men’s final? <\/p>\n

The Wimbledon<\/a> men’s singles final will take place today – Sunday, July 13.<\/p>\n

It will be held on Centre Court and the action will get going at 4pm UK time. <\/p>\n

This is a change from the typical start time for the men’s final at Wimbledon, with it usually being at 2pm.<\/p>\n

It has been moved a couple of hours later in the day, allowing the biggest game to have the largest audience worldwide.<\/p>\n

The women’s doubles final will now be played before the singles final, starting from 1pm on the same day.<\/p>\n

The women’s final between Iga Swiatek and Amanda Anisimova also get underway at 4pm on Saturday.<\/p>\n

With the match starting at 4pm there is a real chance the roof on Centre Court could be closed.<\/p>\n

Sunset in London is at 9.13pm, so if things go to five sets then the roof might be closed.<\/p>\n

Final <\/p>\n

Jannik Sinner vs Carlos Alcaraz – Sunday, July 13 – 4pmWimbledon men’s final: What has been said?<\/p>\n

The 2025 French Open final between Sinner and Alcaraz last month was a thriller and took 5 hours, 29 minutes to complete.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz came out on top from that marathon match and we could be set for another intense encounter at Wimbledon.<\/p>\n

The later start time means the roof may have to be closed before the match is done should it go beyond 8pm.<\/p>\n

And two-time Wimbledon champion Andy Murray has hit out at the prospect of that happening.<\/p>\n

He said: “That’s a big change.<\/p>\n

“I think what would be sad about that would be if they had to stop the match to close the roof because of light and stuff.<\/p>\n

“It’s not right that I don’t think, but hopefully that doesn’t happen.”<\/p>\n
