Wimbledon day 6 order of play: What time do Novak Djokovic & Jannik Sinner play?
The 24-time Grand Slam champion is in third-round action on Centre Court but there are two matches before his clash to take place ahead of that.
Italian world No.1 Jannik Sinner is playing in the first match on Centre Court on July 5 as he takes on unseeded Spaniard Pedro Martinez.
Scroll down for the estimated start times for Djokovic vs Kecmanovic and Sinner vs Martinez as well as the full order of play at the All England Club…
Sinner vs Martinez will get underway at 1.30pm UK time as the top seed looks to book his spot in the last 16 of the men's singles.
He is hoping to land the Wimbledon trophy for the first time with his three major triumphs to date all coming on hard courts instead of grass.
Sinner, who faced a three-month suspension earlier this year, produced his best Wimbledon run in 2023 as he reached the semi-finals in SW19.
Djokovic vs Kecmanovic gets started when Sinner vs Martinez is done and also after Iga Swiatek's showdown with Danielle Collins has concluded.
It's hard to predict an exact start time – as it will depend on the length of the first two matches on Centre Court – but Djokovic vs Kecmanovic could get underway at around 6pm BST.

Aussie tennis star Alex De Minaur sets up blockbuster against seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic
Alex de Minaur has booked the dream Wimbledon clash with Novak Djokovic that he's been yearning for 12 months, declaring his joy at finally earning a crack at 'the ultimate challenge'. A year since his hopes of meeting the seven-time champion in the quarter-final were cruelly dashed by injury, Australia's main man has been left thrilled to finally land his big shot in a last-16 blockbuster set for a Centre Court slot. De Minaur reckoned he had been forced to bring his best tennis to get past an 'extremely dangerous' third-round opponent, Danish qualifier August Holmgren 6-4 7-6 (7-5) 6-3, in a hugely entertaining Saturday afternoon clash. But he's now pumped up for a fourth-round duel with the great sixth seed Djokovic, who looked in ominously supreme form as he breezed past Serbian compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 6-0 6-4 for his landmark 100th Wimbledon singles triumph. De Minaur and Jordan Thompson are now the last two Aussies standing out of the 17 original starters after women's No.1 Daria Kasatkina had bowed out earlier, beaten, somewhat ironically, by former Russian teammate Liudmila Samsonova 6-2 6-3. 'It's funny how life works. It was a brutal time for me last year having to deal with all of those emotions, but here we are a year later feeling good, ready to go, and I'm going to get my chance again,' said de Minaur. 'Now I'm getting to play Novak on one of his favourite, if not his favourite, surfaces and his favourite tournament. So it's going to be the ultimate challenge, and I'm excited for it.' Twelve months ago, 'Demon' had been in spectacular form when right at the end of his victory over Frenchman Arthur Fils in the fourth round , he suffered the season-compromising hip injury that prevented him meeting the 24-time grand slam champ in the last-eight. But the 26-year-old is looking sharper again since a refreshing break, evidenced by how he finally ended the fairytale of Holmgren, who had saved three match points in his final qualifying match and three more in his second-round victory over 21st seed Tomas Machac. No.11 seed de Minaur may have been a bit worried about the drama of tackling little-known world No.192, a US university graduate in theatre arts and performance studies who serves big, attacks boldly and whose run has been like something compatriot Hans Christian Andersen might have penned. Armed with a serve that delivered 61 aces throughout the Championships, he played with real swagger and came up with what de Minaur called 'clutch tennis'. 'He's got an unbelievable serve, a great forehand. He takes the racquet out of your hand, and when he's playing with a lot of confidence, it makes a very tricky opponent. I had to bring some of my best tennis, especially in those tough moments. He's had a hell of a tournament.' 'Demon' broke just the once in the opener at 4-4 and the prospect of Holmgren levelling up in the second was very much alive as they contested a tight second-set tiebreak until de Minaur got lucky with a serve that kicked up off the chalk to earn set point and Holmgren then produced a deflating double fault. Somewhat relieved, de Minaur looked to have got his man, and another double from Holmgren gave him the key break for 4-2 before he went on to seal victory in two hours 21 minutes. But Kasatkina's dream of a barnstorming run in her first Wimbledon in Australian colours was shattered as she delivered a flat display against the big-hitting 19th seed Samsonova, her teammate in Russia's Billie Jean King Cup-winning outfit back in 2021, in a rain-interrupted affair. It was a fairly tame and deflating end with 16th seed Kasatkina suffering the same fate against the rising 26-year-old Samsonova that young Australian star Maya Joint had endured in the opening round. Not even a two-hour rain break when she was a set and 2-0 down could revive Kasatkina's fortunes as she succumbed in just over and hour and a quarter, sunk by 22 blistering winners from her old colleague. 'Of course, I think I could do better on my side, but I also have to give her credit, she played a very, very good match,' said Kasatkina, who'll be making her first visit to Australia since being granted permanent citizenship in the next few days.

Novak Djokovic joins Roger Federer in exclusive Wimbledon men's club
The 38-year-old eased past fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic 6-3 6-0 6-4 on Centre Court. Djokovic is now just five wins behind Wimbledon's only other male centurion, his great rival Roger Federer on 105 match victories. Milestone met. The journey continues… Novak Djokovic has become just the 3rd player to record 100 match-wins at Wimbledon, after 9-time champion Martina Navratilova and 8-time champion Roger Federer 🌱#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 5, 2025 'Very historic, it sounds very nice,' he said. 'Tennis made me who I am, it has given me incredible things in life so I try not to take anything for granted, especially at my age and trying to compete with the younger players. 'Wimbledon is a favourite tournament, not just for myself but for most players. Any history I make at my favourite tournament, I'm blessed.' Apart from being broken when he served for the match, it was a pretty routine display for the seven-time champion, although one spectacular diving backhand volleyed winner after a lung-busting rally will make the highlights reel. 'It was kind of like an ecstasy, to be honest, in that moment,' added Djokovic. 'Yeah, I was super, super happy. It came at a really important moment as well. I think 4-3, deuce, long point. 'We both were running around each other, around the whole court. Then just that diving backhand volley down-the-line passing shot. Can't wait to see the highlights.' That shot thrilled the Saturday SW19 crowd and a host of sports glitterati in the Royal Box including Sir Geoff Hurst, Sir Steve Redgrave and Lord Botham. The Centre Court punters could be forgiven for feeling a little short-changed, however, after three one-sided contests. Certainly the 11pm curfew was never in danger after Jannik Sinner dropped just five games against Pedro Martinez and Iga Swiatek beat Danielle Collins in straight sets, before Djokovic disposed of his 25-year-old countryman in an hour and 47 minutes. Djokovic, bidding for a record 25th grand slam title, will face Australian 11th seed Alex De Minaur in his 17th appearance in the last 16 at Wimbledon.

Nick Kyrgios names the four players that can win Wimbledon
Nick Kyrgios claims there are four players capable of winning Wimbledon, including seven-time champion Novak Djokovic. Djokovic thumped his compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic in straight sets to book his place in the fourth round of Wimbledon. The 38-year-old is bidding to equal Roger Federer's tally of eight titles at the All England Club and claim a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title. Former British number one Tim Henman was impressed by Djokovic's latest performance in SW19 and said he had sent a 'statement' to the rest of the field. Kyrgios lost to Djokovic in the 2022 Wimbledon final and believes his former rival is capable of triumphing yet again in this year's Championships. The Australian former world number 13 naturally views two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz and world number one Jannik Sinner as two others contenders for the trophy. But perhaps more surprisingly, Kyrgios has named American fifth seed Taylor Fritz as another player capable of earning the crown of Wimbledon champion. Fritz came close to winning his first Grand Slam at last year's US Open – losing in the final to Sinner – and is excellent on grass, winning his fourth Eastbourne title in the run-up to Wimbledon. The 27-year-old was involved in two gruelling five-setters in his first two rounds before beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in four to set up a fourth-round meeting with Jordan Thompson. Asked if it was possible to see a winner outside of Alcaraz, Sinner and Djokovic, Kyrgios told talkSPORT: 'The way Taylor Fritz has been playing, it's probably one of the hardest draws a seed has had. 'He's played three guys who are all very dangerous on grass. He's come through that and is saying his body feels better and better so I honestly wouldn't count him out. 'Fritz can do some damage against those guys. Novak has at times looked incredible but the way Sinner and Alcaraz are playing and dialled in, it's pretty tough to go past those two guys.' Kyrgios named Sinner as his 'standout player' so far at Wimbledon after the Italian dropped just 17 games across his first three wins. Asked which areas of Novak Djokovic's game impressed him after he cruised into the fourth round, Tim Henman said on BBC One: 'It was all aspects of his game. 'He was hitting his spots, dictating from the back of the court and he was able to hit so aggressively without making unforced errors. 'He had one slight wobble at the end, serving for the match at 5-2 and lost it, but he still finished it off in three straight sets and I think he will be delighted with his progress to the fourth round. 'Djokovic's level was just absolutely phenomenal and that is when you realise that on grass he is one of the favourites. 'At the age of 38, on the hard courts and clay courts it is getting harder and harder between Sinner, Alcaraz and the rest. 'But the seven-time champion, when he puts in performances like today, then I think it is a statement to the rest of the draw.' Sinner, a three-time Grand Slam champion bidding to win his maiden Wimbledon title, is yet to drop five games in a single set. 'It's hard to look past Jannik Sinner,' Kyrgios said. 'He looks really locked in and incredible. 'He hasn't lost more than four games in a single set. His form is concerning to the rest of the field. It's hard not to see an Alcaraz-Sinner final.' Kyrgios has also been impressed with Britain's last remaining hope in the men's draw, former Wimbledon semi-finalist Cameron Norrie. More Trending Norrie, 29, dropped just two sets on his way to the fourth round of Wimbledon. Nicolas Jarry stands in his way of the quarter-finals. 'Cam is a seasoned veteran now,' Kyrgios added. 'He's solidified himself in the rankings and is pretty much always seeded at Grand Slams. 'He's had success here as well. The year I got to the final, he lost to Novak in the semis. He's a tough competitor and the only male Brit still in. 'He's flying under the radar a bit and he's just going to keep his head down and do all the right things. He's definitely dangerous, who knows how far he can go with the draw opening up.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.
