Summary
Friday at Wimbledon saw Matteo Berrettini beat Hubert Hurkacz to reach his first Grand Slam final and Novak Djokovic beat Denis Shapovalov to reach his 30th.
Why did Hurkacz freeze? How has Berrettini coped with the pressure on him so well? What is it about his game that's so effective on grass? In what way does it feel like Shapovalov made a step forward despite the loss? How did Djokovic manage the match expertly? And what can we expect on Sunday?
Those are all questions for Catherine, David and Matt before they look ahead to the women's final between Ash Barty and Karolina Pliskova.

| 0:22.1 | So the Wimbledon singles final line-ups are set. It will be Ash Barati against Carreline |

| 0:34.8 | Baratini aiming to stop Novak Djokovic from achieving the third leg of four slash five in his quest |

| 1:59.6 | Fiery. Well, you two have very different experiences of today. |
| 2:05.3 | Yes, I think we did. Was today fiery? You, you, Matt, swerved the worst of today as well. Matt |
| 2:16.1 | strode through the front door having played, spent this morning playing tennis or early on playing tennis. |
| 2:22.9 | Practicing for Pam Shriver. Practicing for Pam Shriver. How did it go? |
