Djokovic vs Sinner start time: When is Novak Djokovic vs Jannik Sinner at Wimbledon?

Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner will be eyeing up a place in the Wimbledon final when they meet at the All England Club. Djokovic is a seven-time champion at the tournament, while world No. 1 Sinner is yet to lift the Wimbledon trophy.

Djokovic reached the last four of the tournament after overcoming Flavio Cobolli in the quarter-finals on Wednesday. But he suffered a fall during the latter stages of the encounter and was forced to cancel a practice session on Thursday as he dealt with a suspected groin issue. Sinner, meanwhile, also cancelled a practice session earlier this week after hurting his elbow during his win against Grigor Dimitrov. The Italian was two sets down against Dimitrov but progressed after the Bulgarian retired due to an issue of his own. Sinner then cruised past Ben Shelton in the last eight. And Express Sport brings you the key details ahead of the huge semi-final showdown.
