What time is Novak Djokovic playing at Wimbledon today?
The 2025 Championships at Wimbledon are in full swing at the All England Club, where there have already been a number of eye-catching results thanks to an interesting opening week. Yet Novak Djokovic, a seven-time champion, has largely avoided drama in storming into the quarter-finals. Although the Serb suffered from some stomach issues in his first-round tie with Alexandre Muller, he came through that test, before looking imperious in dismissing British hope Dan Evans. Djokovic was again in sparkling form as he saw off compatriot Miomir Kecmanovic, and those results took him to the second week in SW19, where Alex de Minaur awaited. Again, Djokovic was seen clutching his stomach throughout, but he bounced back to beat the 11th seed in four frames after losing the first. Who is next for Djokovic, as the quarter-finals arrive? Find out below. When will Novak Djokovic play? Djokovic is next due to play on Wednesday 9 July, as he takes on Flavio Cobolli.

Wimbledon water bottles ‘used by players' on eBay for £300
Exclusive Evian water bottles that were 'used by Wimbledon players' are being sold on eBay for as much as £302. The large flip-top bottles, seen on court throughout the tournament, have become almost as memorable as the championships' brightly coloured towels. Unlike some of the other plastic and metal varieties, the official bottles are not purchased and are distributed directly to players, ballboys and girls, officials on court and accredited members of the press. Each player is handed three extra bottles for members of their support team. However, The Telegraph has found some of the bottles have been sold on auction site eBay for as much as £302. Another seller paired a bottle with one of the championship towels before successfully selling the lot for £175.19. Some buyers appeared to sell bottles that they claimed had been used by specific players – including one allegedly used by Jack Draper, British men's number one. The listing – which was sold for an unknown price – included images of the bottle with the player's name on it. However, while The Telegraph understands that player's names are included on players' bottles, it was unable to verify the claim the bottle belonged to Draper. Another was sold alongside the claim it was used by Italian Flavio Cobolli in the 23-year-old's quarter final against Novak Djokovic. As of this morning the bottle – which The Telegraph was unable to confirm was Cobolli's – was listed for £207.68 or the best offer. Another bottle – which the seller claimed had belonged to 24-Grand Slam title-holder Novak Djokovic – was sold for £302.19. All prices included fees charged by eBay. Other Wimbledon memorabilia sold on eBay included ballboy shorts for £52.72. Ball boys and girls working at Wimbledon earn around £200 for the fortnight in SW19 – but they also get to keep their kit. Another unexpected listing was a smaller type of Evian refillable water bottle for £16.32. The bottle was one of many on sale at the grounds for £5 across the tournament's first 10 days. Spectators could top them up at branded refill points. However, the water giant and headline sponsor for the tournament later ran short of supplies during the hot weather and withdrew the refill stations and bottles on Friday afternoon. At the time, an Evian spokesman said: 'This year marked the first year that Evian has been available to spectators via our refill system only. This unique system is pioneering and still new to our business. 'As a result, we've had to stop offering Evian [refills] earlier than planned.' Wimbledon fans attending this year have endured heatwave temperatures, which have risen above 30C on multiple days. The first day of the fortnight was the hottest start to the Championships on record – as temperatures in SW19 reached 32.3C. There is no suggestion that Djokovic, Cobolli or Draper have sold or are selling their bottles.

Hugh Grant's Wimbledon nap: The anti-hustle-culture hero we need
Was it the sun-dappled ambience, the strawberries and cream, the frustration of Flavio Cobolli's unforced errors against Serbian Novak Djokovic on Centre Court or simply the crushing weight of being a 64-year-old man in the third act of a very public life? Whatever the reason, Hugh Grant deserves empathy. There he was, in the royal box at Wimbledon, seated behind Queen Camilla, and flanked by Britain's well-dressed and well-rested, watching the men's singles quarter-finals, when the actor did something quietly radical: Head at a tilt, eyes closed, utterly unbothered, he took a nap. The internet, of course, did what it does best — it giggled, memed, and gently roasted. But far from a gaffe, Grant's power nap was a vibe. At a time when hustle culture is practically a moral code and burnout a badge of honour, his shuteye was a tiny, silken rebellion, a reminder that in a world obsessed with presence and polish, the human body sometimes refuses to cooperate with the agenda. That it may cock a snook at the tyranny of being always-present and simply opt out. It makes Grant a perfect ambassador for existential exhaustion. Because honestly, is there anyone who hasn't been in his shoes? After a hard day's work, settling down with a book, or to a movie to slough off the day's drudgery, who hasn't found their eyes glazing over mid-sentence, or the soundtrack of the movie fading to a pleasant drone in the background? So praise be to Grant for serving up an unexpected ace. In that small, delicious moment, he didn't merely catch forty winks — he made an elegant case for surrender. Not to laziness, but to limits. To the body's quiet wisdom over society's relentless performance metrics. Wimbledon had its tennis. The perpetually sleep-deprived discovered a leading man, not of action, but of rest.

Novak Djokovic, 38, knows it will take everything his ageing body has left to triumph at Wimbledon - but he remains hopeful his experience will trump Jannik Sinner's youth in the semi-final
Novak Djokovic knows it will take everything his ageing body has left to give if he is to triumph in Wimbledon 's Generation Game. A record-equalling eighth title and a 25th Grand Slam lie in wait for a 38-year-old who has, at times over the past fortnight, moved around the court like he was back in his 20s. Djokovic is at least a decade older than any of the remaining semi-finalists and 15 years senior to his opponent Jannik Sinner. The Serb has a team of 10 people dedicated to getting his body ready to compete and admits he often gets 'tired of all the chores' he has to do. 'It's a lot of hours spent off the court, in the gym, or on the table just trying to work with what I have,' he said. Djokovic gave everything against 23-year-old Sinner in the French Open semi-final, taking him to two tiebreaks yet still losing in straight sets. Throughout his two weeks here, he has joked about how it is the oldies against the youngsters. 'I wasn't joking, it's fact,' said Djokovic, who came through his quarter-final with Flavio Cobolli in four sets. 'It motivates me to see how much I can still keep going toe to toe with these guys. The 38-year-old knows he will have to give everything to stand a chance of beating the World No 1 'Hopefully, I can deliver the level and stay with him (Sinner) for potentially five sets, because it's going to take the best of me at the moment to beat Jannik. I know that.' An elbow injury to the Italian may help level the playing field, though it did little to stop Sinner breezing past Ben Shelton in straight sets to reach the semis. He was fit enough to practise yesterday, although he still wore the protective sleeve he sported in his quarter-final. It is fitting that the quartet left standing are the four best grass-court players. No one has won more Tour-level matches on the surface in the last five years than American Taylor Fritz, who faces Carlos Alcaraz as the Spaniard vies to become only the fourth man ever to win three straight Wimbledon titles.
