Last year saw world number one Jannik Sinner win his first title, preventing Carlos Alcaraz taking home the men’s singles title for a third consecutive year by beating the Spaniard in four sets in the final.
Meanwhile Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Anisimova in the women’s singles final to become the first Polish Wimbledon singles champion in the open era.

They both returned to defend their titles, along with Novak Djokovic, who is looking to add a record 25th grand slam trophy to his groaning mantelpiece.
Both Djokovic and Sinner have safely made it through to the men’s semi-finals (Djokovic after an epic five set battle against Felix Auger Aliassime on Tuesday) but in the women’s singles Swiatek crashed out in the third round, with world number one Aryna Sabalenka beaten by Naomi Osaka on Sunday.
Today’s Centre Court schedule is all about the men’s singles, with two potentially epic semi-finals to relish.
First up will be new Centre Court hero Arthur Fery playing second seed Alexander Zverev, before Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a record 25th grand slam against world number one Jannik Sinner.
