Moment: Djokovic gatecrashes Sabalenka press conference
We’re into the second week of Wimbledon 2025, as the fourth round continues and sees major names take to the court.
The headlines on Monday will surely revolve around Novak Djokovic, who continues his bid for a record-equalling eighth title in SW19, plus Jannik Sinner and Iga Swiatek.
Djokovic goes up against 11th seed Alex de Minaur in what could be an intriguing test on Centre Court, though the Serb is in fine form – as displayed in his dominant wins against Britain’s Dan Evans and his own countryman Miomir Kecmanovic.
Later in the day, Sinner will emerge on the same court to play Grigor Dimitrov, while Swiatek – like Sinner – continues to pursue a first Wimbledon title, but on No 1 Court. Five-time major winner Swiatek plays Denmark’s Clara Tauson, who has already knocked out British hope Heather Watson and former champ Elena Rybakina.
These matches follow a dramatic Sunday on which Cam Norrie became the last Brit standing, courtesy of his epic win against Nicolas Jarry and Sonay Kartal’s hard-fought defeat by Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Also on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz continued his bid for a third straight title here, beating Andrey Rublev in four sets; now, Norrie awaits.
A reminder that the first of today’s matches will see Marin Cilic take on Flavio Cobolli from around 11am.
Cilic defeated Jack Draper in the second round and Jaume Munar in round three, while Cobolli beat Jack Pinnington Jones and 15th seed Jakub Mensik to get to this point.

An exclusive interview here from Flo Clifford:
While plenty of attention was on the likes of Jack Draper for glory at Wimbledon this year, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid are undoubtedly Britain’s best hopes of grand slam success. Between them, the pair hold 12 major wheelchair singles titles, and their doubles partnership is even more impressive: Reid holds the outright record for wheelchair doubles slams at 27 – and 23 of those have come with Hewett.
The tour’s highest-ranked doubles team kicked off the year with the Australian Open title and backed that up last month by lifting the trophy at Roland Garros, their sixth straight French Open crown and eighth consecutive grand slam victory. The pair first competed together in 2016 and are among the longest-serving teams on the tour, but are still finding ways to innovate and keep their opponents guessing, Hewett tells The Independent ahead of Wimbledon.

It’s been 44 years since electronic music innovators Kraftwerk released the mournful, melodic, moving masterpiece “Computer Love”. And if that seems like a strange place to start an article on Wimbledon, let’s not forget there’s currently no love for the computer judging line calls in SW19, a system replacing a craft that did work.
The introduction of electronic line calling (ELC) at this year’s Wimbledon, a technology already used elsewhere on the tour, was always going to be controversial. The Championships at the All England Club are a tournament steeped in tradition, positively drenched in it – from the customary white attire adorned by players, to the men’s and women’s title winners dancing at the Champions’ Ball, to revellers relaxing on Henman Hill and enjoying Pimm’s, strawberries and cream.
Comment: Wimbledon apologised after the system cost Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova a point on Sunday, saying ‘human error’ was to blame. Then what is the point of the technology?
