Novak Djokovic beat Stefanos Tsitsipas at Swan Tennis to reach the third round at Wimbledon 2026. The seven-time Wimbledon champion kept his run moving on day three, while day four was already shaped around the next slate of singles matches.
Djokovic Sets the Tone
The result put Djokovic through and sent Tsitsipas out. Tim Henman summed up the level in blunt terms: "That was absolutely phenomenal from Novak Djokovic."
Henman added, "I've watched him for so many years and still he goes out and produces performances like that." He also said, "It was so clean, there were so few unforced errors."
Day Three Results Stack Up
Djokovic was not the only player to move on during day three of the Wimbledon Championships. Jannik Sinner beat Nuno Borges in straight sets, Aryna Sabalenka advanced with a victory over McCartney Kessler, and Coco Gauff beat Solana Sierra 6-3, 3-6, 7-6 (10-7).
Barbora Krejcikova had to save and convert seven match points to get past Mirra Andreeva in a deciding set. Felix Auger-Aliassime also advanced, beating Dino Prizmic in three sets.
Katie Swan Opens Court One
The schedule then turned to day four. Iga Swiatek was set to play Karolina Pliskova on Centre Court at 13:30 BST for a place in the third round, and Katie Swan was due to open Court One at 13:00 against Madison Keys.
That left Swan among the British names on the next day’s card, with Jan Choinski scheduled to meet Frances Tiafoe third on Court Two. Live TV coverage started at 11:00 BST, with radio commentary due from 13:00.
Djokovic’s win keeps a seven-time Wimbledon champion in the round-three field and leaves one of the day’s cleanest performances as the benchmark for the rest of the draw. Henman put it another way: "His serving was on point and his percentages were high."
