    Right then.

    I genuinely have no idea which way this one will go.

    Shall we find out?

    Let's play.

    Massive ovation as the two players walk out onto a sun-soaked Centre Court.

    Ons Jabeur is the first one out of the new gameshow-style sliding doors, lifting her right hand to the crowd while wearing her ear buds.

    She's an Eminem fan but not sure if she's listening to the Detriot rapper.

    The whole of Tunisia is currently asking for the real Ons Jabeur to please stand up over the next couple of hours.

    But they could have a problem here if Elena Rybakina turns up and plays like she did in the semi-final against Simona Halep.

    Rybakina has a game-face on as she walks out behind her opponent.

    Elena Rybakina will be serving first, I think...

  6. Kunieda and Fernandez ahead in set twopublished at 14:05 British Summer Time 9 July 2022

    *Hewett/Reid 3-6 0-2 Kunieda/Fernandez

    A break to love for Shingo Kunieda and Gustavo Fernandez at the start of the second set is backed up by a hold to love.

    Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, a set and a break down, have a real fight on their hands now.

    You can watch that match over here.

    Rybakina v Jabeur

    Elena Rybakina is now able to take in a little bit of her surroundings as she walks out to get her arm swinging around.

    It's been said a lot but she was so, so good against Halep the other day. Just chased her off court with that big serve.

    *Hewett/Reid 3-6 0-0 Kunieda/Fernandez

    No mistakes from Kunieda and Fernandez.

    They have taken control of the men's wheelchair doubles final, fighting back from 2-1 and a break down to take the first set 6-3.

    After last night's epic finale, are we in for another dramatic match on court three?

    The crowd are getting right behind the home favourites as they look to turn this around.

    Here they are!

    One Jabeur raises a hand in the air to acknowledge the crowd applause and looks up and around the packed stands.

    Elena Rybakina keeps her head and eyes focused straight ahead, concentrating on getting to her chair.

    The usual courteous round of applause as the ball kids and the line judges file out.

    Now we’re missing just two more people…

    While the two players go through their last-minute preparations, a show has already started on Centre Court.

    The brass band, who perform before the SW19 finals every year, have been tooting away to the delight of those sat in the sun.

    Their set finishes with a jaunty rendition of the sporting anthem of our times: Sweet Caroline (obvs).

    Wonder what Ewan McGregor, Tara Fitzgerald and the rest of the Grimley Brass Band make of that closing the set-list.

    Jabeur has her headphones in, nodding around to music.

    Rybakina, behind her, is jumping up and down, expending a bit of nervous energy.

    We're only a few minutes away....

    Rybakina has the big serve and she hits its hard from both wings. I saw her earlier and she looked a little bit pale, a little nervous and she will feel like she has an opportunity to win, but if she plays her best tennis she can beat anybody.

    Hewett/Reid 3-5 Kunieda/Fernandez*

    Shingo Kunieda and Gustavo Fernandez have turned the opening set around against Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid, and they will now serve for the first set.

    Bidding for a record-extending 11th consecutive Grand Slam wheelchair doubles title, it looks like Hewett and Reid may have to go the distance unless they can find a late response here...

    You can watch that match over here.

    I can see Ons Jabeur waiting in the corridors.

    She's getting big hugs off her coaching team and her husband, who looks very emotional.

    In the interests of balance, I had a scout around the grounds today for some Kazakh fans.

    Unfortunately I didn't spot much light blue and yellow - although that's not to say there aren't any about.

    To be fair, probably would hear them before seeing them.

    Remember there was a huge group of them at a 2019 Fed Cup tie against Great Britain, and then the 2019 Davis Cup Finals, having been supported by the Kazakhstan Tennis Federation to create some noise.

    With brass instruments and drums, they certainly did that.

    Keep an ear out over the next couple of hours or so...

    We’ve hit some surprises and making history is never easy. These two women for both their countries – it’s nice to see this kind of excitement around that.

    Ons has all the shots, and when you have this many shots, grass rewards players like that.

    After each of Ons Jabeur's matches this fortnight, there has been a group of Tunisians who have been waiting below the media balcony - where the players do their TV interviews - to serenade their hero.

    Chants, cheers and celebrations have provided the sound backdrop.

    Two of them - Salim Belhaj and Salim Khatib - are Tunisians who now live in England and explained what she means to the country.

    "She means everything. She means the world to us in Tunisia," they said.

    "She has made dreams come true.

    "We are proud Tunisians and proud to live in Britain so to see her win at Wimbledon would incredible.

    "She is Ons-stoppable."

    In her BBC Sport column, Jabeur said she "loves to see the joy in Tunisians" and describes seeing the support at Wimbledon as "an incredible feeling".

    "I'm glad they are bringing a Tunisian taste to Wimbledon," added the third seed.

    And Jabeur rewarded their support by grabbing a selfie with them after Thursday's semi-final win.

    A gentleman in a Tunisia short, who is one of a group who regularly gather to catch a glimpse of Ons, told her "it's coming home!" when she won her semi-final on Thursday.
