When is Novak Djokovic's next match at Wimbledon 2026?

Novak Djokovic has made a winning start to his quest for a record-breaking 25th major title at Wimbledon.

The Serbian beat China’s Yibing Wu on Centre Court in four sets on Monday to move into the second round, where he’ll take on a familiar foe in Stefanos Tsitsipas. The pair have faced 14 times, with the 39-year-old winning 12 of those meetings.

Djokovic has won seven of his Grand Slam crowns at the All England Club but arrives in SW19 this year with his joint-lowest seeding (seven) at a major for eight years.

Even so, former Wimbledon semi-finalist and BBC broadcaster Tim Henman gives the 39-year-old “a realistic chance of winning a record-breaking 25th major title” at the Championships this year.

He told Radio Times: “Djokovic thrives on grass and the surface is less physically demanding, which at his age is important.”
