We’re into the second week of Wimbledon 2025, as the fourth round continues and sees major names take to the grass.
The first players out on Centre Court on Monday were Novak Djokovic, who continues his bid for a record-equalling eighth title in SW19, and Alex de Minaur, with Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek set to be in action later.
Djokovic saw off 11th seed Alex de Minaur in four sets, losing the first in short order in a shocking episode, before fighting back to eliminate the Aussie. Djokovic, 38, also played down injury concerns despite clutching his stomach throughout, having suffered a stomach issue in round one.
Sinner will take to the same court to play Grigor Dimitrov, while Swiatek – like Sinner – continues to pursue a first Wimbledon title, but on No 1 Court. Five-time major winner Swiatek plays Denmark’s Clara Tauson, who has already knocked out British hope Heather Watson and former champ Elena Rybakina.

Grigor Dimitrov converts the opening break to win the first set against Jannik Sinner! Very impressive from Dimitrov, who serves it out to love. It’s the first set Sinner has dropped all tournament and he will have to come from behind on Centre Court.
*Sinner 3-6 Dimitrov
Iga Swiatek back on serve against Clara Tauson
19:25

Jamie Braidwood
A messy game from Tauson and Swiatek’s gets back on terms as the forehand sails long. The Pole is back on serve, but Jannik Sinner remains a break down on Centre Court.

19:17

Jamie Braidwood
Another interesting scoreline on Court No 1, where Clara Tauson has broken Iga Swiatek for the second time, amid a run of three consecutive breaks to start this fourth-round match. Tauson is a big hitter and has exploited Swiatek’s early struggles on serve.

19:05

Jamie Braidwood
Well, well. For the first time these Championships, Jannik Sinner loses his serve! Grigor Dimitrov takes the opening break and there are some signs that the top seed is not moving too comfortably in these very early stages. A good start for Dimitrov.

Shelton is asked about his dad, Bryan Shelton, who made the fourth round in 1994.
“He was a serve and volley guy, he’d like me to come forward a bit more. I think I’m better than him from the baseline, he had a better serve than me, maybe. He puts the gameplans together.”

Navarro can only offer the slightest resistance on serve, as she’s broken to love!
There’s the match, but Andreeva, 18, doesn’t even realise she’s won!!
It takes her a moment, ha. She’s into the quarter-finals, what an accomplishment.
Belinda Bencic is up next.

Navarro breaks back to stay in it!

Benjamin Shelton has won the third set against Lorenzo Sonego!
With that, he’s fought from a set down to lead.
He’s also one frame away from the quarter-finals.

A really fun rally ends with Andreeva passing Navarro with a forehand – but that’s not fun for the latter’s father, who buries his head in his hands in the player box...

Andreeva strikes early and consolidates break

Alex Pattle
A 118mph ace from Andreeva brings up two game points for Andreeva, fresh off a break in the previous game.
But she gets a drop shot wrong, before letting another game point go begging.
It’s a battle, but eventually she gets the hold for a 3-1 lead in this first set!
Andreeva 3-1 Navarro*

Alex Pattle
“No, no, no. It was all good, just trying got manage sometimes the breathing after 30+ shot rallies.
“You need a breather, and you don’t have much time, so maybe that was the case.”
Djokovic also jokes about “breaking that curse” of losing when Roger Federer watches him.
Djokovic reflects on hard-fought win
17:02

Alex Pattle
Djokovic: “I don’t know [how I feel] to be honest, I’m still trying to process the whole match.
“It wasn’t a great start for me, he broke my serve three times in the first set. Very windy, very swirly conditions on court.
“He was just managing better, I guess, the play from the back of the court. I didn’t have many solutions to be honest, but I kind of reset myself in the second.
“It was a tough game to close out the second set, I think that was maybe a momentum shift. I felt like maybe I was back in the game.
“It was a bit of cat-and-mouse play, he’s so good at it. He’s one of the quickest players – if not the quickest player – on the tour.
“He exposes all your weaknesses, I was just very pleased to hang in tough in the right moments and win this one.”
Game, set and match! Djokovic finally gets it done
16:57
,
Alex Pattle
Djokovic wins!! He holds serve to love to close this one out.
What a battle, and immense credit must go to De Minaur, but Djokovic comes through in four sets.
He was clutching his stomach a lot between points, having struggled with an issue in round one. Will that affect him in the quarter-finals?
Either way, he did well to overcome it today.
Djokovic 1-6, 6-4, 6-4, 6-4 De Minaur
Djokovic on verge of victory

Alex Pattle
Apologies, more tech issues on our end, but we resume our coverage now.
De Minaur broke for a 0-2 lead in this fourth set, before moving into a 2-4 lead with both players holding.
Then, Djokovic won a phenomenal point to break back for 3-4! He broke again for a 5-4 lead, and is on the cusp of the quarter-finals as a result...
Elsewhere, Lorenzo Sonego and Benjamin Shelton are tied at one set all (6-3, 1-6), and Liudmila Samsonova has beaten Jessica Bouzas Maneiro, 7-5, 7-5.
Set! Djokovic moves into a 2-1 lead!

Djokovic breaks at last!
16:03
,
Alex Pattle
Djokovic holds serve, and it’s back over to De Minaur.
At 0-30, Djokovic plays an ill-advised drop shot, which can’t beat the net. He roars in annoyance.
He moves to 15-40, however, and although De Minaur saves a break point, Djoker converts the second!
Djokovic will serve for the third set...
*Djokovic 1-6, 6-4, 5-4 De Minaur
After an abundance of breaks, not one in sight
15:50
,
Alex Pattle
Djokovic with a handy hold to love. You always feel better poised to break an opponent’s serve off the back of a love hold.
And although De Minaur moves from 15-15 to 40-15, Djokovic pulls back a point with a wonderful forehand winner up the line. He opens up his body after a cross-court effort on the previous shot. Great form.
40-30, then, but De Minaur pumps his fist after sealing the hold!
After so many breaks in the second set, we’re yet to see one in set three.
*Djokovic 1-6, 6-4, 3-4 De Minaur

We see the players exchange many sliced backhands, until Djokovic opts for topspin as he rushes the net... but he’s again beaten by a dipping groundstroke by De Minaur!
He’s nailing those semi-passes today. This one came on the backhand.
*Djokovic 1-6, 6-4, 1-2 De Minaur
Djokovic guts out a hold of serve
15:30
30-30, and Djokovic slices a backhand into the net. With that, De Minaur has the chance for a break...
Door slammed shut! Djokovic with a powerful serve into the corner, and De Minaur’s return goes nowhere. Deuce.
Another fine serve from the Serb, who has advantage now.
He tries a one-two punch into a volley, but De Minaur’s forehand dips right onto Djoker’s feet! Deuce again.
Ace! Advantage Djokovic again.... and he holds after some really assured play on his backhand.

Turns out ELC isn't the only tech that can fail around these parts!
We're back after a brief hiccough, and Djokovic has taken the second set 6-4! What a match we have on our hands as we enter the third set.
Another arduous game for both players, too, as they reach deuce on De Minaur's serve in the first game of this third frame.
Eventually De Minaur holds, much to Djokovic’s frustration of course!
*Djokovic 1-6, 6-4, 0-1 De Minaur
De Minaur will serve to stay in second set

Djokovic back in front thanks to a tricky, sliding backhand that lands at De Minaur’s feet, as the Aussie rushes the net. 30-15.
40-15, with Djokovic forcing De Minaur into a long return of serve.

Per the BBC, AELTC chief executive Sally Bolton said of Nico Helwerth – the umpire in Kartal’s match with Pavlyuchenkova yesterday: “We have rotation of our umpires regularly.
“A little bit like the players, the umpires also need rest days throughout the tournament. So, he’s having a rest day today.
“He’s fine. Look, it’s really important to say that the umpire followed the protocols in place. He did what he needed to do on court and acted entirely correctly.”

Lawrence Ostlere
What a game this is – they exchange points at deuce over and over again, with some sublime shots in amongst it, particularly by De Minaur who steals one when he predicts which way Djokovic is going to smash before rushing into the net to volley home a winner. He sees it out to break straight back.
We have a real contest here!
Djokovic 1-6, 1-1 De Minaur*
Djokovic breaks immediately in the second set
14:14

Lawrence Ostlere
Wow, wow – an amazing point to start the second set. De Minaur unleashes some ruthless groundstrokes that fizz low over the net and takes the chance to step in behind them, but Djokovic keeps the rally alive before whipping a cross-court forehand winner on the stretch. De Minaur can’t believe he lost that one. And he never quite recovers as Djokovic breaks to 15.
*Djokovic 1-6, 1-0 De Minaur

Lawrence Ostlere
As the clock ticks to 30 minutes, Alex De Minaur earns himself three break points. He nets the first after getting into the rally, but Djokovic makes the same mistake on the next point and that’s the set to the Australian, won in dominant fashion! Not many people expected that this afternoon. How will the champion respond?
Djokovic 1-6 De Minaur*
Double fault hands double break to De Minaur!
14:02

Alex Pattle
Djokovic with a poor service game to fall to 0-40, and though he saves the first break point, he loses the next on a double fault!
With that, De Minaur has a double break and leads 4-1 in this first set.
Look, there’s a long way to go, but I’ll say this: the commentators at the BBC were very dismissive of De Minaur before this match – too much so, in my opinion.
Djokovic 1-4 De Minaur*
Djokovic gets on the board with comfortable hold of serve
13:57

Alex Pattle
A nerve-settler for Novak? He records a fairly easy hold of serve, getting on the board at 1-2.
That said, De Minaur follows up with a hold to 15. No nerves in the Australian, it seems.

A longer rally ensues, with Djokovic ultimately snatching at a backhand and putting it in the net. 30-30.

Djokovic pulls it back to 30-30, though, with a backhand pass after forcing De Minaur into a very high backhand volley.
Well, a double fault from Djoker gives De Minaur an early break point now...

‘Wimbledon is the pinnacle of the year’: Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid target yet more success in SW19
10:50
,
Chris Wilson
An exclusive interview here from Flo Clifford:
While plenty of attention was on the likes of Jack Draper for glory at Wimbledon this year, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are undoubtedly Britain’s best hopes of grand slam success. Between them, the pair hold 12 major wheelchair singles titles, and their doubles partnership is even more impressive: Reid holds the outright record for wheelchair doubles slams at 27 – and 23 of those have come with Hewett.
The tour’s highest-ranked doubles team kicked off the year with the Australian Open title and backed that up last month by lifting the trophy at Roland Garros, their sixth straight French Open crown and eighth consecutive grand slam victory. The pair first competed together in 2016 and are among the longest-serving teams on the tour, but are still finding ways to innovate and keep their opponents guessing, Hewett tells The Independent ahead of Wimbledon.

Electronic line calling (ELC) technology is being implemented at Wimbledon for the 2025 Championships, bringing to an end the role of the line judge after 147 years patrolling the courts in SW19.
The tournament venue has taken the decision to install ELC on all 18 match courts, including Centre Court and Court One.

Electronic line calling at Wimbledon is an unnecessary disaster of their own making
10:30
,
Chris Wilson
It’s been 44 years since electronic music innovators Kraftwerk released the mournful, melodic, moving masterpiece “Computer Love”. And if that seems like a strange place to start an article on Wimbledon, let’s not forget there’s currently no love for the computer judging line calls in SW19, a system replacing a craft that did work.
The introduction of electronic line calling (ELC) at this year’s Wimbledon, a technology already used elsewhere on the tour, was always going to be controversial. The Championships at the All England Club are a tournament steeped in tradition, positively drenched in it – from the customary white attire adorned by players, to the men’s and women’s title winners dancing at the Champions’ Ball, to revellers relaxing on Henman Hill and enjoying Pimm’s, strawberries and cream.
