As Wimbledon draws nearer to the semifinals, tennis enthusiasts will be breathing a sigh of relief as the weather in the UK starts to get better.
As the event draws to a close, the semi-finals will still be available to view before the finals on Saturday and Sunday.
Today’s events include the semi-finals of the men’s singles and women’s doubles brackets, where Daniil Medvedev will face Carlos Alcaraz and Lorenzo Musetti will face Novak Djokovic.
Elise Mertens and Hsieh Su-wei portray Kateřina Siniaková and Taylor Townsend, while Desirae Krawczyk and Caroline Dolehide face Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe.
Those from London and beyond planning on attending centre court today will be experiencing much more summery weather than in previous days.
Temperatures are set to fluctuate between 14-19°C throughout the day, and while the skies are predicted to be overcast, there’s a very low chance of any rain stopping play.
The Met Office forecast for Wimbledon on Friday explains: ‘Largely cloudy on Friday with few sunny spells.
‘Rain may affect the southeast of the area at first, but most other places remaining dry.
‘Some clear spells may develop overnight. Maximum temperature 19°C.’
There’ll even be some sunny intervals heading into the evening – hopefully creating perfect weather for those wanting to enjoy a Pimms or another beverage of choice as the sun starts to set.
Unfortunately the Wimbledon finals being held across Saturday and Sunday won’t see the same luck, with rain likely.
The Met Office forecast says: ‘Mostly cloudy Saturday with scattered showers and perhaps a few sunny spells later.
‘Sunny spells and variable cloud Sunday and Monday, but the odd shower still possible. Winds light throughout.’
