Watch Jannik Sinner vs Novak Djokovic live streams at Wimbledon 2026 in a second men's semi-final that features two of the all-time legends of the sport duking it out on the manicured lawns of the All England Club. The Italian top seed will start as favorite, but the Serbian 24-time grand slam champion won the pair's only meeting earlier this year as he seeks history.
Defending champion Sinner hasn't dropped a set since a shaky first-round display against Miomir Kecmanovic that went the distance. In the continued absence of Carlos Alcaraz, the 24-year-old is the overwhelming men's favorite and has enjoyed a kind run to the last four, with Djokovic the first seed he will face. Sinner struggled with the heat and illness in a second-round exit at the French Open, and with temperatures in SW19 continuing to rise, the Italian must find a way to keep cool in this one.
Djokovic produced one of the performances of his storied career at the Australian Open earlier this year to win a five-set classic. The 39-year-old has struggled with fitness issues since that victory, but Wimbledon represents the Serbian great's best chance of leaving behind Margaret Court to win a record 25th grand slam singles title. Djokovic came through a razor-thin quarter-final with Felix Auger-Aliassime in a fifth-set tiebreak but having two days in between matches should have helped the veteran's recovery.
Waiting out errors won't be enough against Sinner, but if Djokovic can serve well and get the first strike in the point, he can get the upset.
