Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner remain on a collision course at Wimbledon while Naomi Osaka faces Aryna Sabalenka in a fourth-round blockbuster on day seven of the Championships.
Djokovic and Sinner, who could meet in the semi-finals, both play qualifiers on Centre Court this afternoon. Djokovic continues his bid for a record 25th grand slam title against former quarter-finalist Roman Safuillin, who knocked out Joao Fonseca, while Sinner meets Japan’s Shintaro Mochizuki, the world No 151, but a winner against Rafael Jodar.
Osaka is through to the last 16 of Wimbledon for the first time and battles current world No 1 Sabalenka in a meeting of four-time grand slam meetings. Sabalenka has won all three matches they have played this season, including in the last 16 of last month’s French Open, but Osaka carries blistering form onto the grass.
Coco Gauff, meanwhile, faces a tough test against Belinda Bencic, and there is an all-Czech contest between former champion Barbora Krejcikova and 10th seed Karolina Muchova. Yesterday, Arthur Fery kept British interest in the singles alive with a battling five-set win, while Filipino superstar Alexandra Eala knocked out reigning champion Iga Swiatek.

Novak Djokovic's daughter unimpressed by his dance moves
10:45 , Jamie Braidwood"More than tennis, I hope that my dance moves will improve because my daughter has been teaching me but I'm pretty poor. She didn't give me a smile in the end, she was more like: 'Yeah, we have to practice!' But hopefully I can have many more dances throughout the rest of this tournament. We will see."
Djokovic’s moves on match point against Arthur Rinderknech were much smoother, as the 39-year-old dived to make a volley and lob his opponent, leaving both flat on the grass.

Novak Djokovic 'relieved' to get through tough Arthur Rinderknech test
10:35 , Jamie Braidwood“He has that variety because he has a big powerful game. He was also changing the pace and putting a lot of variety in the game, so he took me out of my comfort zone. I'm just really relieved to come through this one.
“I think I've done everything I needed to do today, under circumstances that weren't maybe as good for me as they were in the second round, and it was still enough to win. At this age and stage in my career, every day brings something new and unpredictable for me. I'm hoping that I will come out at my best in a few days' time.”
Novak Djokovic bidding to break Roger Federer's Wimbledon record
10:31 , Jamie BraidwoodLast time out, Novak Djokovic won his 105th Wimbledon match to equal Roger Federer’s men’s singles record and continue his bid for a 25th grand slam singles title.
The 39-year-old had to overcome an excellent performance from the big-serving 26th seed Arthur Rinderknech, winning 7-5 6-4 1-6 7-6 to reach the fourth round after being granted his wish to play during the day on Centre Court.
The seven-time champion then received a boost by learning that potential fourth-round foe Joao Fonseca, who defeated Djokovic at last month’s French Open, had been knocked out by qualifier Roman Safiullin.
