Who will take the crown at this year's Wimbledon?

The GIST: Two weeks of epic rallies and grass stains later, the third Grand Slam of the year wraps up this weekend. Go on and take a bow — or don’t.
Men’s singles semifinals: The first semifinal begins today at 8:30 a.m. ET featuring tourney (but not fan) favorite No. 2 Novak Djokovic taking on young powerhouse, No. 8 Jannik Sinner. If The Joker emerges victorious, he’ll book a spot in Sunday’s final, where he could win an astounding 24th Grand Slam and tie Margaret Court’s long-standing record.
- But he’d have to get through the winner of today’s 10:30 a.m. ET semi between No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz and No. 3 Daniil Medvedev. A Djokovic vs. Alcaraz showdown would be a repeat of this year’s thrilling French Open semi, which Djokovic won in four sets en route to his 23rd Slam title.
Women’s singles final: Last year’s runner-up, No. 6 Ons Jabeur is one step closer to her first Grand Slam after defeating No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka yesterday. On fire as of late, Jabeur credits working with a sports psychologist to change her mindset and “transform…bad energy into a good one.” Seems like it’s paid off.
- Her opponent? Markéta Vondroušová, who overpowered fan-favorite Elina Svitolina in straight sets yesterday to become the first unseeded woman to reach the singles final in the Open Era.
