    The red carpet - well in this case green - has been cleared and the doubles net has been installed.

    Centre Court is now ready for the men's doubles final.

    And for those who haven't been following along this one is worth watching. Henry Patten could become Briton's first champion at Wimbledon in 2024.

    Krejcikova's serve is big without being huge but it is so effective. If she is hitting forehands after her serve, then she's hitting winners.

    Krejcikova's now a two-time Grand Slam winner. The first one kind of came from nowhere, but this one tells you that it wasn't a fluke.

    You're a part of the best club in the world. It was a dream come true for me. I felt like my journey was complete. For Barbora, I feel like it's another feather to her cap.

    Krejcikova and Novotna will forever be connected here. Jana was so generous with her time. It was incredible.

    Krejcikova is a streaky player. She can beat the best in the world. She needs to find some consistency. She's been to two in the world but it wasn't for long. She has the game and the versatility. It's an all-court game and the best is yet to come.

    It creates a level of respect among the playing group because you can be beaten by anyone. It shows the depth of the women's game. Barbora was ranked 31 and she was able to win this tournament.

    Soak it in Barbora. You've earned this.

    It probably feels like that French Open victory was so long ago and this is what she needed to kickstart her career. I feel like there's so much left for her to do.

    It's impossible to ignore the moment. Absolutely you'll be nervous. It's important to acknowledge that. Krejcikova did an amazing job to stick to her plan and keep serving big. It was the sign of a champion to stick to her guns and her process.

    More from Barbora Krejcikova, on how she is going to celebrate her Wimbledon success:

    “I don’t know now. I guess somewhere inside me I hoped I could win but I didn’t know until the very last point. I'm going to talk to my team, we went through, especially in the last couple of months."

    "I'm super happy we got through, that we’re here and we can celebrate with this beautiful trophy and enjoy a day off tomorrow.”

    Barbora Krejcikova on what it means to emulate her mentor, former Wimbledon champion, Jana Novotna:

    “Well I think that day, knocking on her door, it changed my life. Because in that period when I finished the juniors, I didn’t know what to do - should I continue playing pro or go into education?

    "She was the one who told me I had the potential and I should definitely turn pro. Before she passed away she told me I can win a slam. I achieved that in Paris in 2021 – it was an unbelievable moment for me and I never really dreamed I would win the same trophy as Jana did in 1998."

    More quotes from Barbora Krejcikova, on what it means to the Czech Republic to have another Wimbledon champion

    “Well, I think nobody believes it that I got to the final and nobody believes that I won Wimbledon. I still can't believe it.

    "Two weeks ago I had a very tough match, and I wasn’t in good shape before that because I was injured and ill. I didn’t really have a good beginning to the season. It's unbelievable I'm stood here now and I've won Wimbledon. I have no idea [how it happened]."

    "At the end I was the lucky one but it has been amazing what she’s been able to achieve in just a short period, so again congratulations."

    Wimbledon 2024 runner-up Jasmine Paolini said on court: "Hello everybody. Thank you for coming. To see this stadium full is a dream come true. Barbora, you played unbelievable. You play such beautiful tennis. Congrats to you and your team.

    "The last two months have been crazy for me. I want to thank my team, my family. They always support me and I wouldn't be here without them. The crowd have been amazing. I received a lot of support. Just incredible to feel the love from them, I enjoy it so much.

    "Today I am a little bit sad. I try to keep smiling because I have to remember today is still a good day, I made the final of Wimbledon. I remember as a kid watching the final and cheering for Federer I have to say. It's been a beautiful two weeks and I want to thank everyone who made it possible. The ball kids, the LTA. I'll forget someone but please don't be mad at me."
