Poll: Will you watch the Wimbledon men's final today?

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will take on last year’s runner-up Novak Djokovic at 2pm.

CARLOS ALCARAZ WILL take on Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon men’s final this afternoon.

In a replay of last year’s final, the 21-year-old defending champion will be hoping to beat Djokovic at the championship for the second time when the match gets underway at 2pm.

Alcaraz is looking to win his fourth Grand Slam title, a victory that would make him only the second man in the Open era, alongside Roger Federer, to win four Grand Slam finals in four years of professional tennis.

However, it will be no easy feat. Djokovic has won a record 24 Grand Slam men’s single titles, including seven Wimbledon titles. He is one win away from passing Margaret Court to become the all-time Grand Slam title leader. 

So today, we’re asking: Will you watch the Wimbledon men’s final today?

    Awful sad news . The Ryan’s are an excellent hurling family in Clara. People will remember this man’s son Lester receiving the McCarthy cup and giving an excellent speech, all in Irish language, only a few months ago. At dheis De go raibh a ainm.

    I think it might be how people interpret comments. For example, is it really appropriate to green thumb a comment saying “An awful tragedy”? If anything, we shouldn’t be allowed to comment on these sort of stories.

    Terrible stuff. Should always be 2 people working together in that type of situation. I realise it’s not always possible to hire people if they can’t afford it. #RIP

    When do farmers ever have two driving a tractor?

    Don’t be silly Maggie. On most farms (that can afford it) there’s always 2 people together, especially around dangerous equipment. I think it might even be law.

    It’s not the time for a debate but you’re wrong on this one Fergal. Slurry spreading is usually a one man per tractor job. If you’ve your own equipment to do the job you’d usually just do it on your own. RIP to the man.

    RIP, Dreadfully for the family to lose a loved one in such circumstances. Safety in industrial operations has improved over the years but safety on farming has not kept pace. There is an urgent need for compulsory education around safety on the farm.
