Wimbledon 2024 LIVE: Tennis scores and results ahead of Sinner clash after Djokovic criticises fans
World No 1 Jannik Sinner takes on Daniil Medvedev in the match of the day at Wimbledon on Tuesday as the quarter-finals begin at the All England Club.
Sinner is first up on Centre Court against Russian fifth seed Medvedev while defending champion Carlos Alcaraz plays Queen’s winner Tommy Paul in the second match on Court 1.
In the women’s singles, New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun takes on Donna Vekic in the first match on Court 1 while Jasmine Paolini faces Emma Navarro on Centre Court.
On Monday, Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon with a dominant display against Holger Rune on Centre Court on Monday evening before a furious speech accusing fans of being “disrespectful”.
Elena Rybakina produced a superb display earlier in the day before her opponent Anna Kalinskaya was forced to retire hurt. And there were tears for Elina Svitolina, with the Ukrainian left distraught after missile attacks on five cities, with the country’s largest children’s hospital in Kyiv hit.

It’s another wet start at Wimbledon.
Play on the outside courts won’t start until before 1pm, while Centre Court and Court One are set to be covered all day for the start of the men’s and women’s quarter-finals.

“I’ve played in much more hostile environments, trust me, you guys can’t touch me,” Novak Djokovic assured the Centre Court crowd at Wimbledon on Monday night. Even after winning in straight sets, he had the bit between his teeth. Holger Rune couldn’t touch him either, you see, so the seven-time champion had a little more energy to expend.
But we’ll come back to the cutting coda on Djokovic’s straight-sets victory. In tennis terms, this might have been the perfect match for him at the perfect time. There is a sense that the Serb’s powers are waning this year, if only slightly, and if only due to the looming presence of Father Time – one of the few figures in sport with a greater record than Djokovic.
Make no mistake, the 24-time grand slam champion can win Wimbledon this week. He remains among the favourites, and rightly so. But after his walkover exit from the French Open, and with that compression sleeve still hugging his surgically-repaired right knee, and with his movement a little laboured, it is fair to suggest that he’ll welcome this straight-sets win.

Inside the making of Wimbledon’s emotional Andy Murray tribute: ‘Our first call was to Sue Barker’
11:43 , Kieran Jackson
By Jamie Braidwood
How do you bid farewell to a legend? As Wimbledon approached and Andy Murray’s career neared the end, those conversations started to swirl around the All England Club. The two-time champion and first British winner of the men’s singles title in 77 years deserved a fitting send-off and celebration of his achievements, should the tournament be his last. With uncertainty surrounding Murray’s fitness and future, Wimbledon tentatively began work on how to commemorate the moment no one at the Championships wanted to arrive.
But how? “We didn’t want it to be too pre-planned and, you know, feel too false. It had to be genuine and organic,” says Paul Davies, Wimbledon’s head of broadcast and production. Ruled out of the singles, Murray’s doubles match with his brother Jamie turned out to be his last ever match at Wimbledon, after Emma Raducanu pulled out of their mixed-doubles match on Saturday. By then, though, Murray had received an emotional tribute on Centre Court and an acknowledgement of his 20-year Wimbledon career. For those in charge of the ceremony, the months of prepration had paid off.

Judy Murray has said she was being sarcastic when she labelled Emma Raducanu’s withdrawal from her mixed-doubles match with Andy Murray as “astonishing”.
Andy’s Wimbledon career came to an abrupt end as Raducanu’s decision to pull out of the mixed-doubles left the two-time champion unable to play his last match at SW19.

Alex De Minaur happy to take role of Wimbledon’s honorary Briton
11:13 , Kieran Jackson
Alex De Minaur played down injury fears after he reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals for the first time and is happy to be an honorary Briton for the rest of the tournament.
The ninth seed from Australia continued his fine run at the Championships with a 6-2 6-4 4-6 6-3 win over Arthur Fils on Court One, but looked to pull up during match point and barely celebrated the fine volley which closed out the tie.
De Minaur seemed to shake his head in the direction of his box, which contained long-term girlfriend and British number one Katie Boulter, but claimed it was only a scare after he jarred his hip.

Tearful Elina Svitolina gives ‘small light’ to Ukraine at Wimbledon after missile strikes on Kyiv
10:54 , Kieran Jackson
A tearful Elina Svitolina hopes to give a “small light” to Ukraine after victory at Wimbledon following missile attacks on Kyiv.
The 21st seed was left in tears after her comprehensive win over Xinyu Wang (6-2, 6-1) following missile strikes on five Ukrainian cities, with the country’s main children’s hospital in Kyiv hit.
The strikes have left at least 36 people dead and injured almost 130 others, with Svitolina admitting she did not want to play tennis and would have preferred to “just be in my room, just be there with my emotions.”

FULL STORY: Wimbledon 2024 finals schedule changed due to persistent rain
10:40 , Kieran Jackson
Wimbledon has announced a change to the finals schedule this weekend with the Mixed Doubles final moving to Sunday from its original Thursday slot.
Persistent rain over the last few days has meant play has only been consistently possible on Centre Court and Court 1, which both have a roof available.
This has meant the doubles events have been severely impacted, with some first-round Mixed Doubles matches not yet completed on outside courts.
As a result, tournament director Jamie Baker announced on Tuesday that the Mixed Doubles final would be moved to Sunday, following the Men’s Singles final on Centre Court, with the Women’s Doubles reverting to Saturday evening following the Men’s Doubles.

The provisional Finals Schedule is now as follows:
Saturday - Centre Court - from 2pm
Match 1 - Ladies’ Singles
Match 2 - Gentlemen’s Doubles
Match 3 - Ladies’ Doubles

Sunday - Centre Court – from 2pm
Match 1 - Gentlemen’s Singles

Emma Raducanu breaks silence on decision that ended Andy Murray’s Wimbledon career after singles exit
10:08 , Kieran Jackson
Emma Raducanu said she stands by her decision to withdraw from her Wimbledon mixed-doubles match with Andy Murray after exiting the singles tournament following a three-set defeat to qualifier Lulu Sun.
Raducanu woke up with a stiff wrist on Saturday and informed Murray that she would be prioritising her involvement in the singles, even though it denied the two-time champion a final match at the All England Club.
The 21-year-old was then knocked out in the singles in the fourth round by world number 123 Sun on Centre Court on Sunday, losing in three sets to the qualifier as she struggled with her lower back.

Alex De Minaur on Novak Djokovic
10:00 , Kieran Jackson
“I don’t think you need to talk too much about Novak here at Wimbledon. He’s obviously achieved greatness many, many years. So he’s going to be a tough battle.
“But the type of battles that I want to be playing. Those are the challenges that I want to take advantage of and go out there and show what I can do.
“I feel like Novak is a lot more constant and solid with his level throughout the whole match.”

Novak Djokovic hits out at ‘disrespectful’ Wimbledon crowd with theory on Holger Rune chants
09:39 , Kieran Jackson
Novak Djokovic has hit out at “disrespectful” fans on Centre Court at Wimbledon during his straight-sets win over Holger Rune.
The Serbian was repeatedly showered with cries of “Rune,” which he maintained were supposed to serve as boos in a spicy atmosphere at SW19.
And Djokovic, a seven-time champion at Wimbledon, took aim at those cheering Rune and explained why he thought it was “disrespectful”.
“To all the fans that have respect and have stayed here tonight, thank you from the bottom of my heart, I appreciate it,” Djokovic said.

Taylor Fritz banishes Centre Court ghosts with victory over Alexander Zverev
09:15 , Kieran Jackson
Taylor Fritz came from two sets down to beat Alexander Zverev and bury the memory of his last match on Centre Court.
American 13th seed Fritz sealed his place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals with an epic 4-6 6-7 (4) 6-4 7-6 (3) 6-3 victory in three hours and 29 minutes.
The last time Fritz played on Centre Court, in 2022, he came out on the wrong side of a five-set quarter-final against Rafael Nadal.
It was a defeat that left Fritz in tears for weeks afterwards, but it also turned out to be Nadal’s last appearance in SW19, as such was the intensity of the match the Spaniard aggravated an injury which forced him to withdraw from the semi-final.
