Wimbledon Live Score, Day 6: Djokovic and Sinner in focus for Round 3 clashes

Wimbledon Live Score, Day 6: Djokovic and Sinner in focus for Round 3 clashes

India Todaya day ago
Looks like the games have been suspended due to rain. Not the ideal start people would have wanted to see here.
It's been a dominant start for Flavio Cobolli on Court 12. The Italian races through the first set, dropping just two games against Jakub Mensik to take it 6-2. A quick, confident opening from Cobolli — Mensik has work to do in the second.
Cobolli leads Mensik after the first set. (6-2)
Cobolli is off to a flying start on Court 12, taking back-to-back games against Jakub Mensik — he's looking sharp early in this third-round clash.
Meanwhile, on No.2 Court, Elena Rybakina hits back! After dropping the first game to Clara Tauson, she holds firm to take the second — all square now in their women's singles battle.
While Centre Court is yet to get going, action has begun on the outside courts.
On No.2 Court, Elena Rybakina has made a strong start, taking the first game against Clara Tauson in their third-round clash.
Over on Court 12, Jakub Mensik has dropped the opening game to Italy's Flavio Cobolli. A slightly shaky start for the Czech youngster.
Plenty of tennis unfolding already — we're in for a packed day at Wimbledon!
Mirra Andreeva [7] vs Hailey Baptiste (USA)
The rising star Andreeva looks to continue her solid Wimbledon run. Baptiste brings power and unpredictability — this one could swing quickly if either player finds momentum early.
Barbora Krejcikova [17] vs Emma Navarro [10]
A clash of styles here — Krejcikova's all-court game meets Navarro's steady baseline play. Navarro has been quietly impressive this season, but Krejcikova's experience at the Slams could be the edge.
Not Before 4:00 PM – Ben Shelton [10] vs Marton Fucsovics
Expect fireworks! Shelton's booming lefty serve and fearless game go up against the seasoned Fucsovics. Grass suits both — this could be one of the standout men's matches of the day.
Centre Court – From 1:30 PM
[1] Jannik Sinner (ITA) vs Pedro Martinez (ESP)
World No.1 Sinner headlines the action, taking on Spain's Martinez in the third round. Expect clean hitting and quick points on grass.
[8] Iga Swiatek (POL) vs Danielle Collins (USA)
A power-packed women's clash — Collins has the weapons to test Swiatek, but the Pole's consistency will be key.
[6] Novak Djokovic (SRB) vs Miomir Kecmanovic (SRB)
All-Serbian showdown to close the day. Djokovic is still feeling his way through the draw — can Kecmanovic cause trouble?
It's not official yet, but if Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic both win today, we're one step closer to a blockbuster semi. Sinner's looking stealthy, Novak's eyeing century club honours. Wimbledon's Centre Court is cooking.
Friday's action also saw Cameron Norrie give the home crowd something to cheer about. The Brit held his nerve in a tense opening set before easing past Mattia Bellucci in straight sets. With that win, Norrie became the last British man standing in the singles draw and now sets up a meeting with Nicolas Jarry.
On Friday, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz was made to dig deep against Jan-Lennard Struff in their third-round clash. The Spaniard dropped a set but responded in style, taking the match 6-1, 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 to extend his Wimbledon winning streak. With that gritty win, Alcaraz booked a spot in the fourth round and moved one step closer to a third consecutive title at SW19.
He's back, he's healthy (knee? what knee?), and he's chasing another slice of history. Novak Djokovic takes on fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic under the Centre Court lights in what could be his 100th win at Wimbledon — a feat only Federer and Navratilova have managed before. After comfortably seeing off Dan Evans in Round 2, Djokovic will want to stay sharp as the business end of the tournament approaches. With Sinner possibly waiting in the semis, this might just be the calm before the storm.
Jannik Sinner may be the top seed, but he's been flying under the radar so far — cruising through his first two matches without breaking a sweat or dropping a set. Up next: Pedro Martinez, who'll need something special to stop the Italian's calm domination. Sinner opens Centre Court on Day 6, and while he's made it look easy till now, every round brings bigger nerves and brighter spotlights. The world No.1 knows the real Wimbledon grind begins now.
Strap in — Day 6 at Wimbledon is a full-on tennis feast. Jannik Sinner kicks off Centre Court, Novak Djokovic closes it, and between them? Drama, class, and maybe a bit of history. Iga Swiatek faces the gritty Danielle Collins, while reigning champ Barbora Krejcikova takes on 10th seed Emma Navarro in a tough battle.
Mirra Andreeva's teenage dream continues, Ben Shelton brings the power, and Indian doubles hopes take the court too. Buckle up, folks — Saturday's got storylines everywhere.

Alcaraz survives Rublev test to stay on course for Wimbledon hat-trick

Carlos Alcaraz again tested the nerves of his legions of fans on Sunday before dismissing Andrey Rublev to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals and stay on track for a third straight title. HT Image The Spaniard lost the first set to the Russian 14th seed under the Centre Court roof but found his feet to win 6-7 , 6-3, 6-4, 6-4, roared on by a partisan crowd. While Alcaraz's main rivals, seven-time winner Novak Djokovic and world number one Jannik Sinner, are in ominous form, the second seed has blown hot and cold so far. It was the same story on Sunday as he struggled to find his rhythm early in the match, despite occasional flashes of brilliance, before raising his level. Rublev took the first set on a tie-break but Alcaraz engineered a break in the eighth game of the second set and served out to level the match. The Russian matched his opponent blow for blow in the third set but squandered chances and Alcaraz brought the crowd to its feet with a sensational forehand winner to force a break, sealing the set with an audacious drop shot. The writing was on the wall when Rublev lost his serve in the fifth game of the fourth set and Alcaraz made no mistake. The Spaniard was taken to five sets by veteran Italian Fabio Fognini in his opening match and also dropped a set against journeyman Jan-Lennard Struff in the third round. Sinner, by contrast, has not dropped a single set, losing just 17 games on his way to the fourth round, and Djokovic was in imperious form in dispatching Serbian Davis Cup teammate Miomir Kecmanovic. Alcaraz and Sinner are the undisputed top dogs of men's tennis, sharing the past six Grand Slams between them as the era of the "Big Three" fades. But the 22-year-old has the edge on grass, winning 33 of his 36 Tour-level matches on the surface. The five-time Grand Slam winner's last defeat at Wimbledon came against Sinner in the fourth round in 2022 and he is on a career-best 22-match winning run since April. Having vanquished Djokovic in the past two Wimbledon finals, Alcaraz is looking to join an elite group of Wimbledon icons. He hopes to become the fifth man in the Open era to win at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles after Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and seven-time champion Djokovic. jw/lp This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

'I'm taking my time' – Kyrie Irving casts doubt on return with concerning injury update

Kyrie Irving is currently recovering from surgery (Image via Getty Images) In the first half of the March 3 game against the Sacramento Kings, Kyrie Irving , the star guard for the Dallas Mavericks, tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). On March 26, he had a successful surgery. Now, he recently addressed his recovery, tempering expectations about returning during the playoffs. He further said that he is currently solely focusing on getting recovered from the injury. Kyrie Irving opens up on ACL recovery and dismisses return timetable Despite early reports that Kyrie Irving might return by January 2026, the Dallas Mavericks have been growing more optimistic about his development in recent weeks. Kyrie Irving, however, clarified that he is more concerned with his complete recovery than with any timetable. Kyrie Irving is an amazing player (Image via Getty Images) ESPN's Shams Charania estimated that the icon might return somewhere in between December and after the NBA's 2026 All-Star break in late February or early March. The general estimate for most returns from ACL tears is around a year from the initial injury, hence the March estimation. However, it wasn't until Kyrie Irving himself recently answered questions about it during a live stream. When asked about when he would return, he gave a straightforward response saying: 'Don't hold your breath on that… it doesn't mean that I won't be back, it's that I don't want to make any predictions on when I'm going to be back. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo I just want to be back 150,000% better.

It's not pretty. Yes, it's a beautiful struggle but I go through the mental roller coaster ride every day, just wanting to be back out there. ' The 33-year-old further highlighted the mental and physical difficulties associated with recovery. He also referred to the process as a "beautiful struggle' as he acknowledged the challenges of being sidelined while his teammates continue their playoff drive. On the other hand, the Dallas Mavericks think that their core is still competitive enough to compete in the Western Conference. Kyrie Irving, on the other hand, is only concerned with getting better for the time being. He was shooting more than 40 percent from three-point range and averaging 24.7 points, 4.8 rebounds, and 4.6 assists per game before the injury. However, now he is just focusing on his healing journey.
