Novak Djokovic begins his 19th Wimbledon campaign on Centre Court against unseeded Chinese player Yibing Wu, aiming for a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. The seven-time champion, seeded seventh this year, enters the tournament with a favorable draw after two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz was sidelined with a persistent arm injury.
Djokovic's Path Opens Up
Defending champion Jannik Sinner struggled in his opener, needing five sets to overcome Miomir Kecmanovic, Djokovic's compatriot. Second seed Alexander Zverev, fresh off his French Open victory, is not at his best on grass, while other top seeds may fear the 39-year-old Djokovic in later rounds. However, Djokovic must first overcome Wu, who was beaten by Briton Jan Choinski in the Eastbourne Open qualifying first round and lost in the last 16 at Nottingham despite being seeded third.
Match Details
The match is scheduled to start at approximately 6:40pm after Aryna Sabalenka finishes her match against Teodora Kostovic. Standard Sport provides live updates from Centre Court as Djokovic seeks his 25th Grand Slam title.
