Novak Djokovic will take on Jannik Sinner as the 36-year-old Serbian continues the pursuit of an eighth Wimbledon title. The Italian eighth seed is playing in the first grand slam semi-final of his young career and will need to produce the performance of a lifetime to beat the 23-time slam champion.
That match will be followed by a mouthwatering contest between the world No 1, Carlos Alcaraz, and the Russian third seed Daniil Medvedev. Alcaraz has played some incredible tennis en route to the semi-finals and will be the favourite to beat Medvedev, who saw off Chris Eubanks in the quarter-finals in a five-set battle.
Alcaraz will meet Medvedev on Centre Court after the conclusion of Djokovic’s contest with Sinner, which starts at 1.30pm BST. Alcaraz should therefore step on court at around around 4:00pm, but it could be later if Djokovic vs Sinner goes the distance.
