Match scheduled for Friday July 10, start time around 4pm
The men's semi-final between defending champion Jannik Sinner and seven-time winner Novak Djokovic is scheduled for Friday, July 10, on Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London. The exact start time depends on the earlier semi-final between Arthur Fery and Alexander Zverev, which begins at 1:30pm, so the Sinner-Djokovic match is expected to start around 4pm or later.
How to watch on TV and online
UK viewers can watch the match free-to-air on BBC One and BBC Two, with coverage starting at 11am on BBC Two. A free live stream is available via BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. Fans need a valid UK TV licence and a registered BBC account. For audio, BBC Radio 5 Live provides commentary from 1pm, also accessible via the BBC Sounds app.
Players' paths to the semi-final
World number one Jannik Sinner reached the last four by beating Germany's Jan-Lennard Struff in straight sets in the quarter-finals. The Italian is aiming for his second consecutive Wimbledon title. Novak Djokovic advanced after a five-set marathon against third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime, winning in over five hours in the longest men's quarter-final in tournament history. Djokovic seeks his 25th Grand Slam singles title.
Head-to-head and tournament significance
Sinner leads the head-to-head 6-5, but Djokovic won their last major semi-final meeting at the 2026 Australian Open in five sets. This match is a rematch of the 2025 Wimbledon semi-final, which Sinner won in straight sets en route to the title. A Djokovic victory would put him one match away from an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam singles title.
According to the article, the match is a rematch of last year's Wimbledon semi-final, where Sinner triumphed in straight sets on his way to lifting the trophy.
