Wimbledon 2026 Wednesday Order of Play and Prize Money: Today's schedule, odds, how to watch on TV - when is Jannik Sinner playing?

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’re both back to defend their titles, along with Novak Djokovic, who will be looking to add a record 25th grand slam trophy to his groaning mantelpiece.

But there will not be a repeat of last year’s men’s singles final as Carloz Alcaraz has withdrawn due to a wrist injury - with Britain’s Emma Raducanu another high-profile name who will not be playing due to health concerns.

Britain’s best hope was Cameron Norrie, who was seeded 26th in the draw, but sadly he went out in the first round on Monday which ended up being a terrible day for British players with 10 falling at the first hurdle. Jack Draper withdrawing due to injury only rubbed salt into the wound.

Meanwhile both Djokovic and Sinner safely went through to the second round, although the defending champion had a real scare, needing five sets to beat relative unknown Miomir Kecmanovic.

And in the women’s singles both Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka eased through to the next round with little in the way of drama.

But yesterday saw some good news for home fans as Scotland’s Jacob Fearnley book his second round slot against American Alex Michelsen, coming back from a two set deficit.

The major Tuesday upset came courtesy of men’s fourth seed coming up short againt the unfancied Otto Virtanen, while Serena Williams’ comeback finished almost before it started with a three set defeat to Maya Joint in the women’s singles.

Here’s everything you need to know about today’s play on Wednesday, July 1.
