Wimbledon 2025 Day 6 schedule: Sinner, Djokovic eye Round 3 wins on Centre Court

a day ago

Wimbledon's sixth day promises plenty of high-quality action, especially with two of the biggest names in men's tennis stepping onto Centre Court. Jannik Sinner, the world No.1 and top seed, opens Saturday's schedule as he looks to quietly keep up his dominant run. Having breezed through the first two rounds without dropping a set, Sinner now faces Spain's Pedro Martinez. It's been a smooth ride so far for the Italian, who seems to be going about his business with minimal fuss, but with expectations now sky-high, every round adds a bit more pressure.advertisementLater in the evening, it's Novak Djokovic who will take centre stage — quite literally. The seven-time champion has shown no signs of rust despite returning from knee surgery just weeks ago. After comfortably seeing off Dan Evans in the second round, Djokovic now faces a familiar opponent in fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic. Not only is Djokovic looking to continue his run into the second week, but a win here would also mark his 100th career victory at Wimbledon — an achievement only Roger Federer and Martina Navratilova have managed before.The possibility of a blockbuster Sinner vs Djokovic semi-final remains alive, especially after their recent French Open clash where Sinner came out on top. That result has only fuelled the anticipation for a potential rematch on grass, where Djokovic has traditionally had the upper hand. But first, both will have to get through their third-round hurdles, and with how the draw has unfolded, every match now carries added weight.
Elsewhere, the women's draw has been full of surprises, with several top seeds already out. Iga Swiatek, now arguably the favourite, faces a tricky test against Danielle Collins. Reigning champion Barbora Krejcikova takes on 10th seed Emma Navarro, while teenage star Mirra Andreeva continues her impressive run. Over on the doubles courts, a few Indian names are in action, including N. Sriram Balaji, Yuki Bhambri and Rithvik Bollipalli — all hoping to make inroads into the second week of the tournament.ORDER OF PLAY ON DAY 6: WIMBLEDON 2025 (ALL LOCAL TIMES)CENTRE COURT – 1:30 PMJannik Sinner (ITA) [1] v Pedro Martinez (ESP)Iga Swiatek (POL) [8] v Danielle Collins (USA)Miomir Kecmanovic (SRB) v Novak Djokovic (SRB) [6]NO.1 COURT – 1:00 PMMirra Andreeva [7] v Hailey Baptiste (USA)Barbora Krejcikova (CZE) [17] v Emma Navarro (USA) [10]Ben Shelton (USA) [10] v Marton Fucsovics (HUN) Not before 8:30 PM ISTNO.2 COURT – 11:00 AMClara Tauson (DEN) [23] v Elena Rybakina (KAZ) [11]Alex de Minaur (AUS) [11] v August Holmgren (DEN)NO.3 COURT – 11:00 AMDaria Kasatkina (AUS) [16] v Liudmila Samsonova [19]Grigor Dimitrov (BUL) [19] v Sebastian Ofner (AUT)COURT 12 – 11:00 AMFlavio Cobolli (ITA) [22] v Jakub Mensik (CZE) [15]Zeynep Sonmez (TUR) v Ekaterina Alexandrova [18]advertisementCOURT 18 – 11:00 AMBelinda Bencic (SUI) v Elisabetta Cocciaretto (ITA)Marin Cilic (CRO) v Jaume Munar (ESP)COURT 14 – 12:30 PMBrandon Nakashima (USA) v Lorenzo Sonego (ITA) Not before 5:00 PM ISTN.

WI vs AUS, 2nd Test: Smith, Green score fifties to put Australia in control v West Indies on Day 3

Half-centuries by Steve Smith and Cameron Green turned Australia's situation against the West Indies from delicate to controlling on day three, Saturday of the second Test. Australia, 1-0 up in the three-Test series, was back in charge after recovering its second innings from 12 for two at the start of the day to 221 for seven at Stumps and a decent lead of 254 runs. With the pitch playing tricks, often shooting low, Australia was beginning to like its chances of setting a target that was beyond the West Indies' reach. AS IT HAPPENED: West Indies vs Australia, 2nd Test Day 3 Highlights 'We are in a nice spot,' Smith said. 'I don't think the wicket is going to get any better, will probably do a few more tricks. The new ball is going to be pretty crucial for us. Hopefully, we can get (the lead) up to somewhere around 300.' Australia generally laboured to score 209 runs in 58.3 overs, with around three delays for showers that added up to nearly two hours of play lost. When Stumps were called because of bad light, Alex Carey was on 26 off 27 balls with captain Pat Cummins on four. But they were on top. Smith joined Green after nightwatchman Nathan Lyon held out for nine overs to reach eight. The first ball Smith faced from Alzarri Joseph smashed his right glove. Inside the glove was the pinkie finger he dislocated in the World Test Championship final last month, and which sidelined him from the first Test in Barbados. 'It was not ideal (getting hit on the finger), but it feels all right,' Smith said. 'It is that kind of surface. Some can shoot up, you might have to take a few on the hands.' Green resumed the day on six and soon passed his highest score at No. 3 in the order, 15. After Lunch, his fifth boundary earned him 50 off 122 balls.

Green finished on 52 and ended a 93-run partnership with Smith. Smith's sixth boundary brought up his 50 in 79 balls. He and Travis Head got Australia to Tea and a lead of 208. But soon after, Smith was trapped by Justin Greaves. Smith reviewed, but it showed the ball hitting his pad in front of the off-stump. His 71 off 119 balls included seven boundaries and a six flogged off Roston Chase over long-off. Greaves also got Beau Webster for 2, but Head and Carey gave the total a 31-run surge before Head's off-stump was bowled by Shamar Joseph on 39.

Jannik Sinner Creates History, Equals 53-Year-Old Wimbledon Record For...

Last Updated: Title favourite Jannik Sinner has yet to have his serve broken and has faced just eight break points. Jannik Sinner matched a 53-year-old record for dominance in the first three rounds of the men's singles at Wimbledon, as the world number one dropped just 17 games on his way to the last 16. Sinner overpowered Spanish world number 52 Pedro Martinez, who was dealing with a shoulder injury, in a 6-1, 6-3, 6-1 third-round victory on Centre Court on Saturday. The 23-year-old Italian's loss of only 17 games from his three matches ties the Wimbledon Open Era record set by Jan Kodes in 1972. 'About the games lost, this is whatever. I'm not looking at these kind of records. I know that everything can change very quickly from one round to the other," Sinner said. When Bjorn Borg won the title without dropping a set in 1976, he had conceded 27 games over the first three matches, while Roger Federer, the only other man to achieve the feat in 2017, had lost 28. Sinner has yet to have his serve broken and has faced just eight break points, four of which were saved against Martinez. He has spent only five hours and 23 minutes on court so far, which is six minutes less than his French Open final defeat by Carlos Alcaraz last month. Sinner will face Bulgarian 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov for a place in the quarterfinals. First Published: July 06, 2025, 10:02 IST

Novak Djokovic took another step in his quest to lift a record 25th Grand Slam title on Saturday as he brushed past his opponent to advance to the fourth round of the Wimbledon 2025 men's singles competition. The 38-year-old Serbian defeated his Davis Cup teammate Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3, 6-0, 6-4 in a contest that lasted an hour and 47 minutes on Centre Court. It was the 51st time that Djokovic took a set 6-0 from his opponent while playing in a Grand Slam tournament. It's now an all-time record with 'Djoker' surpassing American tennis legend Andre Agassi with whom he had earlier drawn level at 50-each.
