Its an all Western European semi. Mark & Rhys are bidding to become the first all GB pair in the final since Lee Childs and James Nelson in 2000, who went on to win. Anton Matusevich is the most recent British winner, with Bulgarian Adrian Andreev in 2018

The girls final is set - a repeat of the Wimbledon final between top seed Xinran Sun of China and Anna Pushkareva. The Chinese girl, who recovered from the loss of a bagel second set in her semi, will be playing in her third successive grand slam final, but has yet to win one. Mark/Rhys follow Alfie Hewett's wheelchair semi on court 13 in an hour or so.

 Mark/Rhys now looks much more imminent. Alfie has won 6-0 3-0 retired.

 Pity. And I do think that 3 against 2 is a bit unfair.

The boys and girls singles and girls doubles finals all at the same time, 11am, which feels poor if you follow the junior game.

The wheelchair singles finals are also all on at 11am.

I'm guessing they want to avoid the women's singles final and a clash but it feels like the wrong call to me.

 I agree - I can recall them doing that before, when bad weather was in the offing, which was understandable.  But today's forecast is fine, so it looks a poor call, given play starts 5 hours before the women's singles final.  They were forced to schedule the boys doubles later because Marcel Latak is in both singles and doubles, but even there the schedule is for a laughable nb 12.00pm, just 1 hour after the start of the singles final, adding to the sense that the junior and wheelchair finals are to be expedited on outside courts rather than showcased

Utterly amazing boys' final

AN unseeded American, playing under an SE, who struggles financially, according to his family, as he's not a major USTA tennis name

Playing against the clear #1 in the world

And the American boy won:

3-6 7-5 7-6 (15-13) - I repeat 15-13 !!!!

Brilliant ball striking, and grit, from both boys

An extraordinary high standard boys final, helped by both players having a raft of vocal supporters, ended with the unseeded American Marcel Latak converting his fifth championship point to win 15-13 in a match tiebreak against Guto Miguel. In the girls event it was third time lucky for Xinran Sun, running away with the third set 6-0 to reverse her Wimbledon defeat by Anna Pushkareva,
