Wimbledon 2022 results: Schedule, scores, how to watch, TV channel as Djokovic looks for another title

The Wimbledon 2022 final matchups are officially set. No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic takes on Nick Kyrgios in Sunday’s men’s final while No. 17 seed Elena Rybakina beat Ons Jabeur in Saturday’s women’s final to win her first Grand Slam championship.

On the men’s side, Djokovic is chasing his fourth consecutive Wimbledon title. He and Kyrgios have met on two other occasions, and Kyrgios has beaten the Serbian both times in straight sets.

Jabeur, meanwhile, was the first Arab woman and African-born player to reach a Grand Slam final. 

Ladies No. 1 seed Iga Swiatek saw her wining streak come to an end with a third round loss to Alizé Cornet.

Cornet’s win put her in the fourth round at Wimbledon for the first time since 2014. 

Serena Williams took the court for the first time since the 2021 installment of Wimbledon on June 28. She had not played since last June, when she suffered a hamstring injury during her opening-round match at the All England Club. Williams’ match against Harmony…
