Alcaraz needs to cut out his errors

The main task in Alcaraz's in-tray today - cut out the unforced errors.

He's had 189 in total this tournament, the second-most. That is perilous territory.

He also had hit the most winners, though, 277. Go hard or go home.

Why are line judges fearing being usurped by artificial intelligence?

Over the years, Wimbledon has been feted for its insistence on putting tradition at the forefront of its clash with modernity.

Yet such a historic tournament could still fall to the clutches of artificial intelligence, spelling a gloomy future for the line judges, who are nervous for what lies ahead.

Could this be the last match we see them at? Some of them think so.

Players heading out on court

Djokovic and Alcaraz are on their walk through the corridors towards the Centre Court turf.

Both of them insisted on the other walking first out of respect with smiles on their faces, but Alcaraz was the more determined to show his humility and allow Djokovic, a seven-time champion here, to go first.

Alcaraz* 4-1 Djokovic

A break point for Djokovic as he goes 40-30 up in Alcaraz's serve.

One user on X writes that Djokovic is already 'finished',' which feels incredibly premature.

Anyone who watched yesterday's women's final between Barbora Krejcikova and Jasmine Paolini will know how a match can turn on its head. Krejcikova was dominant in the first set but after a toilet break Paolini came out playing unrecognisably and took the second, taking the match to the wire. Krejcikova hung on but that was no guarantee - the first set had looked all one-way traffic.

He's given the trophy back already!

Well that was quick, after parading around centre court and the West Hall balcony, Alcaraz has had to give back the trophy already.
