Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic remain on a Wimbledon collision course and the pair feature on day six at SW19.
The world No 1 faces Pedro Martinez first up on Centre Court, with Djokovic on third against his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic.
Sinner and Djokovic, who have met each other nine times before, with the Italian holding a 5-4 record over the Serbian. Djokovic has won both contests on grass, while Sinner holds victories over his rival at the Australian Open and French Open.
In between the two feature men’s singles matches, we can expect Iga Swiatek and Danielle Collins in a contender for the match of the day.
British hopes now rest on Sonay Kartal, who dispatched in impressive fashion, and Cameron Norrie, who proved too much for Mattia Bellucci. Follow all the latest tennis updates, scores and results below:

Martinez finds foothold in Sinner match on Centre

Jack Rathborn
Jannik Sinner 6-1, 1-1 Pedro Martinez*
Kasatkina is gone! Samsonova, the 19th seed, beats out the 16th seed in straight sets (6-2, 6-3) on No 3 Court.
Meanwhile, on Centre, Martinez has started the second set with more focus and is on serve at 1-1.
The Spaniard is even coming to the net, the slicest backhand volley puts away Sinner there.

Jannik Sinner 6-1 Pedro Martinez*
A grin from Martinez as Sinner goes long to get him on the board, relief etched all over his face.
This is some crafty tennis from the Spaniard, who is using angles nicely, the drop shot almost catches out the world No 1, too, only for his ‘tweener to drift wide. Sinner quickly erases the 0-30 deficit on serve with his second ace of the match.
Martinez’s drop shot is weak and that’s the set!

Jannik Sinner 5-0 Pedro Martinez*
Jannik Sinner is not messing about today. Slightly delayed by the Royal Box ceremony, he’s raced out the traps and carved out an early double break.
And a whipped double-handed backhand down the line, with some top spin on it, beats Martinez with ease. The same torque comes on the forehand in the. very next point, this time across court and barely dipping over the net and taking a second bounce before the Spaniard can even reach out to connect.
A large cheer as Martinez earns a point down 30-0 on Sinner’s serve, the Italian’s blocked forehand goes long and that’s a mini win for Martinez. The game doesn’t last much longer, another winner with that deadly forehand, he’s up to 10 already.
A first set in under half an hour is on!

Jannik Sinner 3-0 Pedro Martinez*
This is a quite breathtaking start from Sinner. Heavy ground strokes, no nonsense stuff on his serve, too.
The grace at which he is getting down and injecting power on some of the sliced shots from Martinez, is magnificent.
A thunderous ace, at 133mph, secures a three-game streak. Ominous.

We’re just under 10 minutes away from some play on No 1 Court.
So another 40 minutes before the outside courts see any more play...
That could mean a lengthy delay for the likes of Zeynep Sonmez and Ekaterina Alexandrova, their third round ladies’ singles match is after Cobolli and Mensik on No 12 Court.
They have just played one set, so that match is unlikely to begin before 4pm BST, given Mensik was the favourite heading into that contest and will hope to level up the contest despite being a break down in the second.

Jack Draper pinpoints areas for improvement after Wimbledon disappointment

Jack Rathborn
“I think there’s a bit of a misconception, just because I’m a 6ft 4in lefty, I must be incredible on grass,” said Draper. “I obviously won Stuttgart, but I haven’t had loads of experience on it.
“I don’t think I played incredibly well on it before. Obviously I’ve never gone past the second round here. Some players find it harder than others. I’m obviously very determined to change that and make it a surface that is going to be great for me.
“I feel like that’s the way with every surface. When you have the mindset of, even though I don’t feel comfortable, I’m going to make it happen, I’m going to make it better for me, it usually works. That’s what I did on the clay this year.
“It’s just hard to find that time because we don’t have a lot of time to play on grass throughout the year.”
On a budget? Here’s how to get Wimbledon Centre Court tickets for just £15
09:30
,
Jack Rathborn
Wimbledon spectators have the opportunity to secure prime seats on Centre Court for a mere £15, a significant reduction from the standard ticket prices.
This bargain contrasts sharply with the cost for top-tier seats at the grass-court Grand Slam, which reached £160 on Friday and escalate to £270 by the close of Week 2, before going up again for the singles finals.
The key to unlocking these savings lies in the official resale service.
Available exclusively to those already on-site with a valid ticket, the system operates through a daily lottery via the Wimbledon app.
Successful participants can gain access to Centre Court for £15, or secure a spot on No. 1 Court or No. 2 Court for just £10 each.
Wimbledon 2025: Men’s and Women’s seeds list and tracker

It’s turning into a tournament of shocks at Wimbledon as top seeds fall from the Championships in the early rounds.
On Tuesday, three of the world’s top five were knocked out of the women’s singles, with French Open champion and second seed Coco Gauff following the exits of third seed Jessica Pegula and fifth seed Zheng Qinwen. Sixth seed Madison Keys followed suit on Friday with a straight-sets defeat to the oldest woman remaining in the draw, 37-year-old Laura Siegemund.
The third seed and fourth seeds are also out on the men’s side, with Alexander Zverev knocked out at the first hurdle, and Britain’s Jack Draper falling in round two. Daniil Medvedev, Lorenzo Musetti and Holger Rune were also big-name casualties from the top 10.
Both the men’s and women’s 20th seeds are out, and both lost to British opposition – Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko fell in three sets to an inspired British No 3, Sonay Kartal, while wildcard Arthur Fery got the better of Australia’s Alexei Popyrin.
Ben Shelton needs just 69 seconds to complete match halted on Thursday night

American Ben Shelton took just 69 seconds to complete his second-round match against Rinky Hijikata in a bizarre Wimbledon sideshow on Court Two.
Shelton, the 10th seed, was one game from victory on Thursday evening when umpire Nacho Forcadell called a halt to the match due to fading light at 9.29pm.
The pair returned on Friday afternoon and after going through the standard five-minute warm-up, Shelton began with an ace.
His next serve was wide, but Australian Hijikata’s return on the second serve was long.
Two more aces followed to wrap up a 6-2 7-5 6-4 win in just over a minute, around 18 hours after the match started.

Four-time major winner Naomi Osaka came up short in her quest to reach round four of Wimbledon for the first time after surrendering a one-set lead against former French Open finalist Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova.
The former world number one – a two-time champion at both the US Open and Australian Open – was playing in the third round of the Championships for the first time in seven years.
She looked set to claim a small piece of personal history before failing to capitalise on two break points at 4-4 in set two and subsequently going down 3-6 6-4 6-4.
Australian Open champion Madison Keys joined the scrapheap of seeds following a shock straight-sets defeat to veteran German Laura Siegemund.
Sixth seeded American Keys became the sixth top-10 player to be dumped out of the women’s draw after going down 6-3 6-3 to 37-year-old Siegemund on Court Two.
Cameron Norrie thrives as Britain’s last man standing thanks to key Wimbledon change
Friday 4 July 2025 19:30

Jack Rathborn
Britain’s last man standing at Wimbledon is not the player you expect. Forgotten in the build-up to the Championships, Cameron Norrie is back and, with renewed vigour and hope, the British No 3 stormed into the fourth round with a straight-sets win (7-6, 6-4, 6-2) over Mattia Bellucci on a blazing Friday afternoon.
As Great Britain eagerly prepared to anoint the new king of SW19, or at least a major contender in any light-hearted debate over renaming “Henman Hill”, finding a powerful lefty on the verge of the second week of Wimbledon would not have surprised many.
Yet it is not Jack Draper in 2025, whose desperately disappointing second-round defeat to the crafty Croatian Marin Cilic exposed the value of experience and composure on the live surface. Seeded four, Draper buckled under expectations and, in fairness, some fabulous tennis from a former Wimbledon finalist rolling back the years.

But laid-back Kartal is taking all the hype in her stride as she prepares for a crack at Russian veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova for a place in the quarter-finals.
Wimbledon 2025 order of play: Day six schedule with Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner in action
Friday 4 July 2025 19:29
,
Jack Rathborn
The middle weekend of the 2025 Championships at Wimbledon is here with Saturday seeing the third-round action in both the men’s and women’s singles conclude at the All England Club.
Two of the biggest contenders for the men’s title will be appearing on Centre Court as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner return to the grass. Fresh off a demolition of British hope Dan Evans, Djokovic is the headline act on Centre – taking on fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic in prime-time on Saturday evening. Meanwhile, top seed Sinner will be first up against Spain’s Pedro Martinez, having almost gone under the radar with easy straight-set wins over Luca Nardi and Aleksandar Vukic so far.
In the women’s draw, which has been blown wide open with the early exits of top seeds Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Xheng and Madison Keys, things appear to be opening up for Iga Swiatek. Perhaps the clay-court queen is enjoying the slower conditions on the SW19 grass this year as she navigates her way through the draw and she’ll have another test against Danielle Collins of the USA on Saturday afternoon.
Seventh seed Mirra Andreeva is also in action, while last year’s surprise champion Barbora Krejcikova faces a huge test in her title defence with 10th seed Emma Navarro her opponent in the middle match on No 1 Court.
