Jannik Sinner may start as a heavy favourite against Roman Safiullin in today's Wimbledon quarter-final but the rising star of Italian tennis will be well aware of the challenge his Russian opponent brings as both players seek a first grand slam semi-final. Safiullin has already knocked out seeds Roberto Bautista Agut and Denis Shapovalov, and the world number 93 is relishing his new reputation as the All England Club's giantkiller. Make sure you don't miss the Sinner vs Safiullin live stream today.
Wimbledon is airing for FREE in some countries. But don't worry if you're on holiday while it's on because you can watch Sinner vs Safiullin live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Jannik Sinner may only be 21, but the Italian isn't letting age be a barrier to his rise up the ATP rankings. Sinner has reached the last eight at every grand slam, a not insignificant feat for one so young, and breezed through the first week at Wimbledon by dropping a solitary set.
Winning more than 80% of points behind his first serve, Sinner's ground strokes also have serious pop, especially a backhand that he hits with more topspin – and therefore with greater margin for error – than any other player on tour. He has grass court pedigree, too, winning the first two sets against Novak Djokovic at this stage last year, before the Serbian roared back to win in five. Sinner has the weapons, now it's time to put them to good use and make that first grand slam semi-final.
Roman Safiullin has already far exceeded expectations for the Wimbledon fortnight, now he's just got to keep his upsets coming. Safiullin has already picked up a cool $435,000 for reaching the quarter-final – and therefore free tickets to the tournament for life as part of the Last Eight club the All England Club offers to all players who have reached this stage of the tournament – and will again go all out for the win.
A solid baseliner who will look to play aggressive tennis behind his stronger forehand, 25-year-old Safiullin has a puncher's chance in what is the match of his life. Not bad for someone who doesn't even have a clothing sponsor.
Sinner and Safiullin have met just once previously, the Italian emerging victorious in the 2022 ATP Cup Australia 7-6, 6-3. Make sure to catch all the Wimbledon action by tuning into a Sinner vs Safuillin live stream. Scroll down for details.
