We're down to the finals in the men's and ladies' singles draws at Wimbledon 2023.
Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek entered as both world number one and favourites to win on either side of the tournament after both enjoyed success at Roland-Garros in Paris by winning the 2023 French Open less than a month ago.
However, while Djokovic will face world number one Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the men's draw, Swiatek was eliminated by a rejuvenated Elina Svitolina, who subsequently lost to Marketa Vondrousova.
That means the Czech will join Alcaraz as a first-time Wimbledon finalist. Her opponent will be Ons Jabeur, who could become the first African to win a grand slam title in the Open Era.

What is the total prize money for Wimbledon 2023?
The All England Club announced that the total prize fund for the 2023 edition of Wimbledon will be £44,700,000 ($56,600,000) — a record amount for the tournament.
That's an increase in prize money of 11.2% on last year's tournament and a whopping 17.1% increase on 2019's event.
Areas where prize money has been significantly upped include the qualifying stage where overall the winnings are up nearly 15%. First-round losers will also now earn £55,000, a 10% increase on last year's earnings at the same stage.
After the announcement regarding prize money at Wimbledon in 2023 was made, Chairman of the All England Club, Ian Hewitt, stated: "We are delighted to offer record prize money to the players competing at The Championships this year, with double digit increases across the majority of events.
"Our ambition with this distribution is to return the singles champions and runners-up prize money to the levels in 2019 prior to the pandemic whilst, alongside, providing deserved support for players in the early rounds of the event."

Wimbledon 2023 final prize money
Even if they lose at the last hurdle, the finalists are handsomely remunerated for their part in the final weekend of action.
The losers will still take home around £1.2m ($1.4m), going some way to softening the blow of being beaten with the trophy tantalisingly close.
