Joe Salisbury comes up with an ace to seal the hold.

Pressure back on Sem Verbeek and Katerina Siniakova.

A very pleasant evening now here at the All England Club.

Still very hot. But bearably so as the court begins to cover in shade.

We've already had a bit of British history in the men's doubles, can Joe Salisbury become the first Brit since 2022 to win the mixed title here?

Lots of hands signals and a couple of falls but no breaks yet in this final after one service game for each player.

We are back where it all started with Sem Verbeek who gets to 40-15 with a 110mph ace.

Joe Salisbury comes up with some big-hitting of his own for 40-30.

Luisa Stefani moves out the way thinking Verbeek's forehand is going long but it dips into the corner.

Joe Salisbury volleys at the net for the hold.

Katerina Siniakova and Luisa Stefani were also across the net from each other yesterday in the women's doubles.

Warm-ups are done and we're ready to go in this mixed doubles final.

Briton Joe Salisbury and Brazilian Luisa Stefani are yet to drop a set in their five matches during this Wimbledon campaign.

Sem Verbeek of the Netherlands and Czech partner Katerina Siniakova have also looked very solid.

They required three sets to beat top seeds Harri Heliovaara and Anna Danilina in the first round and have won the rest of their matches in two sets.

This should be an entertaining affair.

The two pairings have just made their long walk through the Wimbledon corridors and on to Centre Court.

Great Britain's Joe Salisbury and Luisa Stefani of Brazil upset second seeds Zhang Shuai of China and Salvadoran Marcelo Arevalo 7-6 (8-6) 7-6 (7-4) in the semi-finals.

It it is the second time Salisbury has reached the Wimbledon mixed doubles final, having done so alongside compatriot Harriet Dart in 2021.

The 33-year-old suffered defeat back then, but will be hoping for a first doubles title at the Championships to make it seven Grand Slam doubles titles in his career.

That's both women's singles semi-finals wrapped up on Centre Court but there's still more fun to be had.

We've got the mixed doubles final coming up at 18:30 BST.

Briton Joe Salisbury is paired with Brazil's Luisa Stefani to face Dutchman Sem Verbeek and Czech Katerina Siniakova.

Only Billie Jean King (v Rosie Casals in 1969) and Venus Williams (v Dinara Safina in 2009) - one each - have dropped less games than Iga Swiatek (two) in a women's singles semi-final at Wimbledon in the Open Era.

Iga Swiatek has been speaking on-court after reaching her first Wimbledon final: "Honestly I never even dreamt that it was going to be possible for me to play in the final so I’m just super excited and just proud of myself.

"Tennis keeps surprising me, I thought I lived through everything even though I’m young. I thought I'd experienced everything on the court. I didn’t experience playing well on grass so that’s the first time and I’m super excited and enjoying it."

On her performance: "Every point is different and every match I need to adjust my game but for sure I feel like I improved my movement and I’m serving really well and I feel really confident, so I’m just going for it and it’s working so I will keep doing that."

On the music she listens to: "The same as every time, I liked to keep my routine so there’s some AC/DC, Guns N' Roses and the Rolling Stones.

"Everybody is asking me if I listen to that all the time buying me vinyl records and everything and I’m like guys if I listened to that all the time I wouldn’t be able to sleep, so it’s just pre-match just to pump myself up. Off the court when I don’t compete I’m more into pop."

On the final: "I don’t think I’ve played Amanda [Anisimova] on the WTA, we played in juniors and I mean she can play amazing tennis and she loves fast surfaces because she has a flat game and fast.

"I will have to be ready for fast shots for her being proactive but I’m just going to focus on myself and prepare tactically tomorrow because as I said, we know each other from juniors, I know how she plays but we've never played a match, but I don't have good memory."
