How to watch the Wimbledon 2021 Men's Singles final

As is traditional, the BBC will be broadcasting Wimbledon 2021, so it's free for everyone to watch and there are no adverts to interrupt play!

You can watch the Men's Final on TV, on BBC One. You can also stream the match on BBC iPlayer, via your phone, laptop, TV or tablet, or via the BBC Sport website or app.

Who will present the Wimbledon 2021 final?

The BBC team presenting Wimbledon coverage includes legendary host Sue Barker, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Boris Becker, Billie Jean King and everyone's favourite semi-finalist Tim Henman, while BBC commentators include Marion Bartoli, Andrew Castle, Andrew Cotter, Annabel Croft and Sam Smith.

How long does the Wimbledon final last?

Unfortunately, the answer to this question is not simple – tennis matches can really last any amount of time, as long as it takes for one player to win three sets.

As a guide, the last Wimbledon final took four hours and 57 minutes to complete, but it's worth noting that that was the longest in the tournament's history, so it's highly unlikely today's match will be as long as that. Realistically, it could be anywhere between two and five hours long.

If you're worried about the match overlapping with the Euro 2020 final then you probably needn't be. Kick-off for the football is not until 8pm, so unless there is a record-breaking match the tennis should be completed by then.

Who won Men's Singles Wimbledon final last year?

There was no Wimbledon last year due to the coronavirus pandemic, so we have to go back to 2019 to see the last winner of the title.

And it was today's finalist Novak Djokovic who emerged triumphant on that occasion, although he was challenged all the way in an incredibly close 7-6, 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, 13-12 victory against Roger Federer, who had two match points himself (and unbelievably won 14 points more than Djokovic during the match.)
