Here's what women's doubles champions Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens had to say following their victory:

Kudermetova: "It's special, my first Slam in doubles. A few years ago I was playing in the final here and had a few match points and lost that final and it was so painful.

"I really wanted it and this is mine now."

An emotional Mertens adds: "I'm very happy Veronika is here beside me to win this one. It's been incredible."

Heck of a comeback win and Centre Court rises to its feet to applaud that win.

A thrilling end to the final.

Time for Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz to get their star jumps in.

The men's singles final is not far away!

The point of the match goes the way pf Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens, to bring up a first championship point!

What a turnaround this has been in the final set.

From a position of authority only a couple of games ago, Jelena Ostapenko must now serve to stay in contention in this final after Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens hold for a 5-4 lead.

Jannik Sinner has been so clean in terms of how he strikes the ball. When you stand courtside and hear how he strikes a ball, it comes out of the strings so heavily, it’s so deep to the baseline and it pushes opponents backwards.

It’s the relentless nature of how he hits the ball and moves the ball around. It’s very clinical. He looks unflustered, it’s very difficult to read him.

He doesn’t have the variety that Carlos Alcaraz does on a tennis court, but we know what we’re going to get from him. His returns are exceptional, they remind me of Novak Djokovic’s returns.

These two will push themselves in terms of their physical and mental capabilities, it’s going to be a war of attrition and so fascinating to see who is going to blink.

Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens hit back!

Hold off on those warm-ups, Carlos and Jannik, we're not quite done here yet...

Two games from the finish line, Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei are dealt a big blow.

Around 600 of you reckon Carlos Alcaraz will win a third straight Wimbledon title today, compared to 200 backing Jannik Sinner to get revenge for his French Open final loss.

Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens stand firm under pressure, eventually holding from deuce to stay in touch.

It's over to Hsieh Su-wei to serve for a 5-3 lead.

While Sinner remains world number one, and will do so whatever happens today, Alcaraz leads their head-to-head record.

Victory in the French Open final was the Spaniard's fifth straight victory over Sinner, extending his dominance to eight wins from their 12 career meetings.

But - and there is almost always a 'but' where tennis stats are concerned - Sinner has won their only other previous meeting on grass.

That came here at Wimbledon back in 2022, when Sinner claimed a 6-1 6-4 6-7 (6-8) 6-3 success.

Look how boyish they were...

How fortunate are we to have these two players come through?

Sometimes when you have a great era of tennis, there is a lull afterwards for a while. We have just come out of one of the most incredible eras and suddenly these two guys are stepping up. They've got a couple of years where they can grab so many grand slams and have these sort of five-set thriller matches. It's a great rivalry to have and it will be there for a couple of years. People gravitate to those great rivalries.

I always say Andre Agassi saved men's tennis when he came back and these guys are saving men's tennis now.

Is that the decisive breakthrough?

Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei hit the front in the final set, breaking Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens to give themselves the chance to serve for a 4-2 lead.

Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner may just be starting to up the intensity of their warm-ups now.

Two generational talents.

One thrilling rivalry.

Their first meeting in a Grand Slam final was an epic.

But who will win the second?

Thumbs up for Carlos Alcaraz, thumbs down for Jannik Sinner...

Yes, the match before the men's singles final on Centre Court has gone the distance, with Veronika Kudermetova and Elise Mertens taking the second set to level the match.

We've hit the two-hour mark as Jelena Ostapenko and Hsieh Su-wei level the third set at two games apiece.

Welcome back!

The women's doubles final continues on Centre Court, with that match into a deciding set.

It could mean we are only around about an hour away from the men's singles final.

Time to get very excited about what's in store.
