How to watch Wimbledon 2021: TV coverage, channel and live stream

It won't be an easy task for the Serb though and standing in his way is Italian Matteo Berrettini, who is appearing in a Grand Slam final for the first time.

The No.7 seed has shown good form on his way to the final – including wins over Hubert Hurkacz and Felix Auger Aliassime – and recently won the title at Queen's Club, so he can clearly pose a threat to Djokovic on a grass court.

Aside from the Singles, there's also the Mixed Doubles final today, with plenty of British interest to look forward to in the tie, which follows the match between Djokovic and Berrettini on Centre Court.

Harriet Dart and Joe Salisbury will face their fellow Brit Neal Skupski, who has partnered with doubles specialist Desirae Krawczyk from the USA for the event.

Where is Wimbledon held?

Wimbledon has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London since 1877, making it the oldest tennis tournament in the world.

The All England Club boasts lush outdoor lawn courts, making it the only Grand Slam tennis tournament to be held on grass.

The main matches are held in the 14,979 capacity Centre Court, which had a retractable roof added in 2009.

The nearby Aorangi Park has become colloquially known as Henman Hill and Murray Mound after the famous British players, and fans traditionally watch the matches there while eating strawberries and cream.
