Andrey Rublev has only been broken twice in the opening three rounds.

Cam needs to be a little bit more offensive. Sometimes it feels like he is waiting for Jarry to make an unforced error.
Norrie is finally going big down the tee with his serve, that is a good change up from him because every other one was going straight to Jarry's backhand.
I don't know if my heart can take a fifth set!
*Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 6-6 (6-5) Norrie
Great hitting from Cameron Norrie off the ground and Nicolas Jarry nets - 5-5.
Oooh, the Briton just long with a forehand! Set point for Jarry to level the match...

While title rivals Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic have made relatively serene progress through the draw, reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz has not exactly had everything his own way so far.
He was given a scare by Italian veteran Fabio Fognini in his five-set opener and also lost a set in what he called a "stressful" third round win against world number 125 Jan-Lennard Struff.
The ebbs and flows of Alcaraz matches are quite the contrast to the near-robotic consistency of world number one Sinner in particular, but the Spaniard tends to save his very best for the biggest moments - as Sinner discovered in brutal fashion in last month's French Open final.
What does the world number two have in store for us this evening, I wonder?
*Rublev 0-0 Alcaraz
The final match on Centre Court for day seven of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships is about to get under way.
Andrey Rublev is on serve.
Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 6-6 (5-4) Norrie*
Two points on serve for Nicolas Jarry.
*Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 6-6 (3-4) Norrie
Cameron Norrie was in a similar position in the third-set tie-break before serving a double fault to give the initiative back to his opponent.
This time it's Nicolas Jarry's power that proves too much for the Briton.
Rublev v Alcaraz
Image source, Getty ImagesCarlos Alcaraz is not too familiar with the feeling of losing.
Alcaraz has not lost since 20 April, registering 21 successive victories and is on his best-ever winning run.
During this current winning sequence, the world number two has picked up titles at the Italian Open, French Open and Queen's.
He's looking to make it four titles on the bounce at Wimbledon, having been crowned champion at SW19 in each of the past two years.
Just four men have won at least three successive Wimbledon titles in the Open Era - Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic.
Will Alcaraz be part of that elite group come Sunday?
Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 6-6 (2-4) Norrie*
BANG!
A solid serve-and-volley from Nicolas Jarry but Cameron Norrie pings a forehand down the line for a winner.
Now Norrie has the advantage of a mini-break.
And he gets a bit of fortune to extend his lead to two points at the changeover.

Good return from Cameron Norrie and Nicolas Jarry gives that mini-break back.

The new balls are going a little bit further than the players are anticipating at the moment.
Norrie is being too predictable with the wide serve and Jarry is continuing to put it away. Jarry is reading the play really well and Norrie needs a little bit of a change up.

Rublev v Alcaraz
Right on cue at 18:02 BST, Carlos Alcaraz says "vamos" as he walks out on to Centre Court alongside Andrey Rublev.

You can almost reach out and touch the tension.
Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 6-5 Norrie*
Big miss from Nicolas Jarry.
Cameron Norrie advances to the net but it's not the best approach. Jarry passes him but sends it long.
Then Norrie nets a backhand on game point. Deuce.
Jarry 3-6 6-7 (4-7) 7-6 (9-7) 6-5 Norrie*
Two excellent return winners from Nicolas Jarry and we're at 30-30.

Excellent movement after the serve from Jarry. He just uses the weight of his body to shift it in place and makes it look so easy.
It feel like we will see another tie-break. The momentum feels a little bit more with Jarry at the moment. Being a man with a big serve, he should feel confident with tie-breaks.
