Wimbledon final

Not long after Wimbledon began this year, it became clear that the greatest obstacle between Ons Jabeur and a first grand slam final was likely to be ...

Against such a great server, the challenge for Jabeur will also be to take care of her own service games. The contrast between the two is stark and Jabeur, 27, will bring her deep toolbox of shots and unpredictable patterns in order to disrupt her opponent’s rigid offence however she can. Even though Rybakina is facing a completely different type of opponent in Jabeur, she will approach the final no differently, looking to attack, shorten points and impose herself. Rybakina wants rallies over as quickly as possible and on her way through the tournament she has done an excellent job of executing her full-power tennis. As she stands at 6ft, the challenge for her opponents is to absorb her first strike and exploit her relative lack of athleticism, whether by forcing her to move or lengthening the points. If she is to lift her first grand slam title, Jabeur will have to unpick a completely different style compared with anything she has faced so far and it will be a formidable challenge.

"In a Grand Slam semi-final, there's always lots of pressure and expectation, Cameron didn't have much to lose and he was playing the tournament of his life.

Alas, while they broke into song, Djokovic broke serve and there was only one direction in which the match was heading. But that air of assurance evaporated midway through the second set as a flurry of unforced errors and wrong choices from Norrie gave Djokovic a foothold in the match. Djokovic will now be bidding for a 21st Grand Slam of his career, which would move him to within one of Rafael Nadal’s record tally.

The Serbian then gained a decisive break at the start of the fourth set, before he zoned in on serve to seal victory. At 4-3, he missed a couple of put-aways and gifted me that game and I felt from that game momentum shifted a little bit.” I was a bit tight at the start of the match, not swinging through the ball as smoothly as I would have liked to and Cameron was dominating the play,” Djokovic added. He is playing so freely, one of the biggest serves in the game. He is very excited and he doesn’t have much to lose and he is always playing like that. He is a great player and I have a lot of respect for him.”

Meanwhile, Djokovic was quizzed about the end of the match when he was seemingly booed after he blew kisses to the crowd. Norrie fever hit SW19 in the run-up to the match, with security having to close the hill after it reached full capacity. The growth of Cameron Norrie is insane. “I think it’s probably the first time in this country, here and around Wimbledon, that I think people have gotten to know me a little bit more and the way I play, the way I operate on the court. “I didn’t start off well and he was the better player for the first set,” he said. Ultimately, he came up against Djokovic who has been unstoppable, but Norrie should be proud of his efforts.”

But unfortunately for the star, he has revealed that his mother won't be able to attend due to her wait for a kidney transplant. I try and talk to her. Nick Kyrgios' career has reached its highest point yet after it was confirmed that the Australian star would play in the Wimbledon men's singles final following Rafael Nadal's decision to drop out of the tournament due to injury.
