When is the Wimbledon 2021 final? What time is the final? Who is playing at Wimbledon today?

The beloved tennis tournament will soon be drawing to a close, without Andy Murray, Emma Raducanu, Dan Evans or any Brits heading into the final rounds for the Men’s and Women’s Singles. Here’s what you need to know about the order of play ahead of the Wimbledon 2021 final.

Wimbledon 2021 has proved a dramatic tournament so far, with Serena Williams retiring with an injury after slipping on Centre Court in the first round and Andy Murray – the three-time Grand Slam winner and wildcard – making it through to the third round after being spurred on by the crowd.

Murray made a bittersweet exit from this year’s much-awaited tournament in his round three match against Canadian 10th seed, Denis Shapovalov, as did British number one Dan Evans in his match against Sebastian Korda and 18-year-old star Emma Raducanu in her fourth round match on Manic Monday (July 5).
