Sinner & Djokovic target last eight – your guide to Monday at Wimbledon

Wimbledon 2025

Dates: 30 June-13 July Venue: All England Club

Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic could potentially meet in a blockbuster semi-final at Wimbledon but there is work for both to do before then – starting with their respective fourth-round matches on Monday.

World number one Sinner and sixth seed Djokovic have arguably been the two most impressive players in the men’s draw so far.

Italian Sinner has won three Grand Slams but is yet to reach a Wimbledon final, while Serb Djokovic is aiming to equal Roger Federer’s tally of eight titles at SW19.

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva and Poland’s Iga Swiatek, seeded seventh and eighth respectively, are the highest-ranked players remaining in the bottom half of the women’s draw.

Djokovic, 38, overcame illness to win his first-round match in four sets but breezed through rounds two and three.

Saturday’s masterful victory over fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic was his 100th match win at Wimbledon. He is the third player to reach that landmark, following Martina Navratilova (120) and Federer (105).

Sinner, 23, has found things even more comfortable so far, winning his first three matches without dropping a set and spending less than five and a half hours on court.

But both title contenders will come up against a seeded player for the first time in this tournament on Monday.

Djokovic is first on Centre Court against world number 11 Alex de Minaur of Australia (13:30 BST), with Sinner rounding things off on Centre against Bulgaria’s former Wimbledon semi-finalist Grigor Dimitrov.

Clara Tauson of Denmark defeated 2022 champion Elena Rybakina in the third round and the 23rd seed’s reward is a meeting with five-time Grand Slam champion Swiatek, which is third on Court One.

Swiatek has reached only one previous quarter-final at SW19 but has shown signs of improvement on the grass, reaching the final at Bad Homburg prior to Wimbledon.

Monday’s first contest on Court One sees Russian 18th seed Ekaterina Alexandrova take on former Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic of Switzerland, before American men’s 10th seed Ben Shelton faces unseeded Italian Lorenzo Sonego.

Cameron Norrie, the sole British quarter-finalist in the men’s and women’s singles, has a well-earned day off after his five-set win over Nicolas Jarry on Sunday.

Therefore, home interest on Monday is focused on the doubles and junior events.

The bottom half of the men’s doubles is stacked with British players and quarter-final spots are on offer for fifth seeds Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool and sixth seeds Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski, as well as second seeds Henry Patten and his Finnish partner Harri Heliovaara.

Meanwhile, the mixed doubles has already reached the quarter-final stage.

British pair Joshua Paris and Eden Silva are there, while Salisbury – alongside Brazilian Luisa Stefani – and Skupski – who is playing with American Desirae Krawczyk – are also in the hunt for semi-final places.

Among the Britons in action in the girls’ singles are Mimi Xu and second seed Hannah Klugman, who lost in the French Open final last month.
