  13. A Spanish final one-two?published at 13:17 British Summer Time 12 July

    Carlos Alcaraz will be hoping he can make it a Spanish final one-two on Sunday by beating Russia's Daniil Medvedev, with the men's football side set to take on England in the Euro 2024 final.

    Spain are no strangers to double success, with Rafael Nadal winning Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010 alongside the men's football side's Euro and World Cup triumphs, while Alcaraz's Wimbledon victory last year was followed by the nation's win at the Women's World Cup the following month.

    Sure Medvedev (and England) might have something to say about Sunday though...

    I don't think Medvedev does a lot of adapting. He has a style of play which is very effective and he likes to return deep into the court - he is a little reactive than proactive.

    He hits it very flat and hits it through the court - that is where Medvedev backs himself.
