Novak Djokovic is back on Centre Court today, taking on Roman Safiullin in the Wimbledon fourth round. The world No. 8 has seen off China's Wu Yibing, former world No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas, and recovered from a wobble to defeat Arthur Rinderknech in four sets.
Djokovic's Quest for a 25th Grand Slam
The 39-year-old is hunting an eighth Wimbledon crown and a record-extending 25th Grand Slam title. He has admitted his form at SW19 has been inconsistent as he looks to win his first major since the 2023 US Open.
Roman Safiullin: The Underdog
World No. 132 Safiullin far outperformed his ranking to swat the highly rated Joao Fonseca in straight sets to set up this showdown with Djokovic. The Russian will be aiming to cause a major upset on Centre Court.
