Djokovic, Sinner reach fourth round as Krejcikova knocked out at Wimbledon
London, July 6 (UNI) Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic joined men's top seed Jannik Sinner to reach the fourth round at Wimbledon with a straight-sets win over Miomir Kecmanovic on Saturday.

"It's very historic, it sounds very nice. I'm very grateful and privileged to be in this position," Djokovic said during his on-court interview. He will next face Australia's Alex de Minaur, who defeated August Holmgren of Denmark in straight sets.

Tenth seed Ben Shelton of the United States maintained his perfect set record in this year's event, overpowering Marton Fucsovics of Hungary 6-3, 7-6 (4), 6-2 to set up a clash with Italy's Lorenzo Sonego. 2014 US Open champion Marin Cilic of Croatia overcame Spaniard Jaume Munar 6-3, 3-6, 6-2, 6-4, booking a showdown with Italy's Flavio Cobolli for a quarterfinal berth. Women's eighth seed Iga Swiatek of Poland avenged her Rome loss to American Danielle Collins with a dominant 6-2, 6-3 win. She next faces Denmark's Clara Tauson, who stunned 11th seed Elena Rybakina 7-6 (6), 6-3. Czech player Barbora Krejcikova saw her title defense end after a 2-6, 6-3, 6-4 defeat to Emma Navarro of the United States.

Wimbledon day 6 order of play: What time do Novak Djokovic & Jannik Sinner play?
Novak Djokovic is set for an all-Serbian battle with Miomir Kecmanovic at Wimbledon on Saturday with the order of play confirmed for day six. 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.
