Wimbledon 2024 is drawing to a close as we head to the business end of the tournament and the really exciting part when the champions are crowned.

We've got the women's singles final to come on Saturday with a new name ready to be added the winners board.

Either Italian seventh seed Jasmine Paolini or Czech 31st seed Barbora Krejcikova will be holding the Venus Rosewater dish by the end of tomorrow.

We'll have that encounter covered for you right here and we've also got the men's doubles final with Britain's Henry Patten and Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara taking on Australian pair Max Purcell and Jordan Thompson.

Thanks for joining us today!

So, it's a repeat of the 2023 final with Novak Djokovic getting the job done in straight-sets just over three hours after defending champion Carlos Alcaraz came from a set down to win his semi-final.

Alcaraz beat Djokovic in five sets last summer in what still remains the only meeting between the pair on grass.

Djokovic has recorded two victories over the Spaniard since that day - winning on the hard in Cincinnati and also on the hard at the ATP Tour Finals in Turin.

Who will prevail this time?

Men's singles finalist Novak Djokovic, on his finals opponent Carlos Alcaraz:

"He is a great example as a young player that has a well balanced life on and off the court. He has great values in his family a lot of charisma.

"He is deservedly one of the greatest 21-year-olds we have seen in this sport. We will see a lot of him in the future no doubt.

"He is going to win many more Grand Slams, but hopefully in two days - not this one! In the future when I retire in about 15-years! I am joking...

"Jokes aside, he has already beaten me here in a thrilling five-setter - I don't expect anything less than that.

"He is complete as a player as they come. It is going to take my best ability to beat him on Sunday."

It took 32 minutes for the first set to be completed, compared to 79 minutes for the second set.

Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid saved five set points to make it to the Wimbledon doubles final.

The tie-break in the second set was approaching the 20 minute mark when Reid finally put the game to bed.

Hewett has reached two finals in the same day. I'm sure he will sleep very well tonight.

Men's singles finalist Novak Djokovic, on his discipline:

"Everyone wants to have that secret potion or the formula of success - there is no such thing.

"There is no secret, we have heard so many athletes talk about hard work, but I am a fan of smart work.

"I have seen some of the incredible champions in the last 50 years in different sports, I think have a lot of similarities with my journey and with the adversity - the stuff that doesn’t come easy and your way.

"It is something that defines you character and strengthens your will.

"I have team members, but I have to find solutions out on the court.

"If you have a bad day you're out of the tournament."

Men's singles finalist Novak Djokovic, on possibly missing Wimbledon this year due to recovering from knee surgery:

"There was plenty of doubt.

"I came into London eight days before the tournament started. I didn’t know [if I would play] and I was keeping everything open until the day of the draw.

"I have played a couple of practice sets with top players and that proved to me I was in a good enough state to not just be in Wimbledon, but to go deep into the tournament.

"That kind of mentality is there and is ever present. Thank you to the team members for helping me."

Maikel Scheffers fires into the net and it brings up the first set point for Gordon Reid and Alfie Hewett but they can't take it.

A brilliant match point saved from Scheffers' serve.

But Hewett comes right back and saves a sixth match point from the Dutch pair.

A second match point for the defending champions. Can they take it? Nope.

Scheffers lands an audacious drop shot over the net.

This could go on forever.

Men's singles finalist Novak Djokovic, speaking to Lee Mckenzie on Centre Court after reaching 37th Grand Slam final:

"I have said it many times. Wimbledon has been a childhood dream for me - to play it and to win it. It is worth repeating I was a seven-year-old boy watching the bombs fly over my head and dreaming of being on the most important court in the world which is here in Wimbledon.

"I was constructing Wimbledon trophies out of any material in the room!

"I have the tremendous support from my family. My wife has been with me for many years and my children too – it has been an incredible journey.

"I try not to take it for granted every time I find myself on this unique court. Obviously during the match it is business time and I try out play my opponent.

"I am satisfied and pleased, but I don’t want to stop here – hopefully I get my hands on the trophy."

Set point number five for the Dutch pair.

Gordon Reid fires an ace down the line to save set point yet again.

The British pair are not giving in.

Novak Djokovic has now won 97 matches at Wimbledon and is out on his own in fourth place on the all-time list for most SW19 singles victories among men and women, moving clear of Chris Evert (96).

Only Serena Williams (98), Roger Federer (105) and Martina Navratilova (120) have won more.

Navratilova's record is likely out reach for the 37-year-old, but he does have his eyes on a different record on Sunday.

Victory over Carlos Alcaraz would see Djokovic lift the Wimbledon crown for an eighth time and move level with Federer on the all-time list for men's singles titles at the grass Grand Slam.

The court three crowd are enthralled by this match.

Alfie Hewett places a forehand through a gap between Tom Egberink and Maikel Scheffers.

The Dutch pair fail to convert a third set point but quickly get another one.

Can they make the most of this one? Nope, Hewett fires down the line and it is now 8-8.

An outstanding ovation that Musetti gets - he has put on a show.

Tom Egberink and Maikel Scheffers go ahead in the tie-break but are swiftly pegged back when Scheffers hits into the net.

5-5 and it is still anyone's game.

Why are people 'booing'?

Novak Djokovic pulls out his violin celebration once again.

We've been told that it's directed towards his daughter, who is learning how to play the instrument, but fans on Centre Court believe it's directed at them and it draws boos.

Djokovic soaks them up with a smile on his face.

His daughter, Tara, also has a beaming smile as do the rest of the Djokovic family as the 37-year-old reaches his 10th Wimbledon final.

The tie-break is as close as the second set.

Alfie Hewett's backhand is missed by Maikel Scheffers who then responds by firing through a gap left by Hewett and Reid.

Incredible return. Novak went big, it was a good second serve.
