The group match of England against Tunisia as After the royal wedding, statistics reached 24 million in their shootout against Colombia on Tuesday night.

This figure could reasonably increase Saturday and beyond and, in truth, Wimbledon can not compete with these numbers.

The 2016 Andy Murray finale drew a 13.3 million audience in this country, but with the Scottish absent from the tournament due to an injury, it's hard to see a total like that of 2018.

"We had the question a long time ago and we answered the question a long time ago," said a spokesman for FIFA. "I understand now that people are waking up [to it] but the decision has already been made."

It seems rather unlikely that there is a conflict between British interests in both finals.

Kyle Edmund is the only Briton It may be necessary to go through Novak Djokovic, Nick Kyrgios and Rafael Nadal over the next eight days to reach a first Grand Slam final.
