One of the biggest tennis events of the year, the 2018 Wimbledon Championships finals, is here.
That’s right – Wimbledon, one of the big four tournaments in the tennis calendar, is almost over. The tournament has already provided a number of notable scalps, with 2017 Wimbledon men’s champion Roger Federer eliminated at the quarterfinal stage on Wednesday, leaving the door wide open for Novak Djokovic to win a fourth Wimbledon title, or Kevin Anderson to win his first.
The men’s final brings together the finest tennis players the sport has to offer, and the match will be contested at the prestigious All England Club in London – the same venue it has been held at since 1877.

Why should I watch?
With big names like Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal dumped out of the competition, it leaves the door open for a new winner.
Either former Wimbledon men's champion Novak Djokovic will claim a fourth title, or South African player Kevin Anderson will win his first ever Grand Slam.
Though Djokovic has the bigger name, Anderson is getting closer and closer to securing one of the majors. He reached the final of the 2017 US Open, where he eventually lost in straight sets to Nadal. But is once again at the last stage of a Grand Slam competition and will be looking to topple Djokovic to go one step further this time around.
Anderson knocked out the likes of Gael Monfils, Federer, and John Isner to set up Sunday's showdown, and will have an extra day's rest compared to Djokovic, who had to conclude his semifinal against Nadal on Saturday.
