Novak Djokovic takes on Arthur Rinderknech in the third round of Wimbledon this afternoon, with the seven-time champion hunting a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. The match is scheduled to start at 1.30pm BST on Centre Court.
Djokovic's Quest for History
The Serb has not won a major since the 2023 US Open, where he defeated Daniil Medvedev in straight sets. Since then, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner have dominated, winning nine consecutive Grand Slams before Alexander Zverev ended that streak at the 2024 French Open. Djokovic, seeded second at the All England Club, aims to reclaim his throne on grass.
Rinderknech's Path
Arthur Rinderknech, the French 25th seed, has advanced through his opening matches against British hope Oliver Tarvet and Martin Damm Jr. The 30-year-old is seeking his first career Grand Slam quarterfinal and will rely on his powerful serve and aggressive baseline game to challenge Djokovic.
