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.
Elsewhere there is also doubles and junior action on Court 1, Court 12 and Court 18. British 17-year-old Henry Searle will take on American Cooper Williams in the boys’ semi-finals.
