Novak Djokovic has sparked concern after appearing to suffer an injury during his Wimbledon quarter-final match with Felix Auger-Aliassime.

The seven-time Wimbledon champion, who is seeded seventh, took to Centre Court to face No 3 seed Auger-Aliassime on Tuesday evening.

The match looked like the standout clash of the men’s quarter-final lineup, and both players made a strong start in hot conditions in London.

After Djokovic won the first point of his service game at 4-4, he took a lengthy pause to stretch out his left leg at the back of the court before resuming play.

The 24-time Grand Slam champion won the next three points to hold serve at love, but he then took a medical timeout to receive treatment on his leg from the physio.

The 39-year-old Serb was frequently seen grimacing between points, and he continued to stretch out his leg at times.

Commentating on the match for the BBC, doubles legend Todd Woodbridge discussed Djokovic’s physical issue.

“Novak Djokovic gave a big reaction to whatever the problem is when he hit that backhand down the line at 0-15 [at 5-4]. He gave a bit of an ‘Oooh’,” said Woodbridge.

“From the way he is stretching, it looks like it could be the calf or the Achilles or potentially the plantar fascia area of the foot itself.

“They are testing the stability of the ankle into the calf at the minute, which isn’t a good injury. It is one you tend to get at the backend of your career rather than at any other point.”

The Australian added: “This really is a tough period for Felix Auger-Aliassime because he has to stay so concentrated on his own end of the court and on his own game.

“He cannot afford to get drawn into Novak Djokovic’s issues, such as wondering whether he is alright or whether he will carry on. It is a hard thing to do.”

Despite the discomfort Djokovic was clearly feeling, his level largely remained high in the first set, and he converted his fifth set point to win an epic tiebreak 12-10.

Two-time major finalist Mark Philippoussis has spoken to Tennis365 about the 2026 Wimbledon men’s event and Novak Djokovic’s quest to win another Grand Slam title.

Djokovic has been the men’s Grand Slam singles title record holder since he overtook his great rival Rafael Nadal by winning his 23rd major at the 2023 French Open.

The Serbian then claimed his 24th Slam at the 2023 US Open, which remains his most recent major triumph.

Djokovic will face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, with the winner taking on world No 1 and reigning Wimbledon champion Jannik Sinner in the last four.

The 39-year-old is vying to make history by becoming the oldest major singles champion ever, while victory at Wimbledon would see him equal Roger Federer’s men’s record of eight titles.

Speaking exclusively to Tennis365 at the All England Club, Philippoussis commented on Djokovic’s Wimbledon hopes as he gave his verdict on the men’s tournament at the All England Club.

“Nothing’s a given, especially in sports, and especially this Wimbledon. I feel like there’s been a lot of matches where there’s been some slight upsets,” said the Australian, who reached a career-high ranking of world No 8.

“But it would be incredible to see Djokovic and Sinner in the semi-finals.

“Sinner, besides that scare in the first round — where it’s understandable, you’re defending champion, your first match on Centre Court — but he got through it, and it’s about surviving.

“And then it feels like he’s playing better as the tournament has gone on.

“Djokovic is looking good, he’s looking really good. He’s looking fresh. Could this be his 25th Grand Slam? There’s no reason why it can’t be.

“I think if there’s one tournament, one Grand Slam where it could be it, grass, for me, makes the most sense. Because you shorten up the points, and he’s such a master on this court; using the slice and mixing up the play.

“The guy was a couple of sets away from winning the [2026] Australian Open, as well.

“This is one of the tournaments where you just sit back and enjoy the good matches that they play.”

Philippoussis was a runner-up to Patrick Rafter at the 1998 US Open and Federer at the 2003 Wimbledon Championships.

Jannik Sinner has admitted the physical issues that have hampered his season may rear their ugly head again.

The Italian returned to the semi-finals of Wimbledon after a straight-set win over Jan-Lennard Struff on Tuesday.

The 24-year-old battled through temperatures around 30C but didn’t look in any discomfort physically against the big-hitting German.

After winning all five of this year’s Masters 1000 titles, Sinner was the overwhelming favourite to win his first Roland Garros crown.

But when he was a game away from beating Juan Manuel Cerundolo in round two at the French Open, the heat got to him and Sinner eventually lost in five sets.

The four-time major winner, who was also saved by a cooling break at the Australian Open after suffering a physical collapse against Eliot Spizzirri, later had medical tests to determine why this kept happening to him.

Before Wimbledon, the defending champion said he and his team “came to a conclusion which is very good” on this matter.

And after his win over Struff, Sinner was once again asked about his physical conditioning in these hot temperatures.

In his own court interview on Tuesday, he said, “Yeah, thanks for reminding me!

“We worked a lot, especially after Paris, trying to understand what went wrong there. We prepared ourselves in the best possible way and in any case it was a huge test today.

“I felt really, really comfortable on the physical side today so a good step forward. Even if it would happen again, like in Paris, I hope not but if it happens again, we need to change a couple of things again.”

Those remarks suggest that this could be an ongoing issue for Sinner, who will face either Novak Djokovic – who beat him in five sets at the Australian Open earlier this year – or Felix Auger-Aliassime.

And to the rest of the ATP Tour, this development may be music to their ears. Ergo, if you keep Sinner on court for as long as possible on a hot day, his body may fail him again.

But even taking sets off Sinner can prove to be a tall order.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘I want Novak Djokovic to win Wimbledon – he deserves it’, says iconic tennis star

Marcos Baghdatis has told Tennis365 which player he would like to win the Wimbledon men’s title as he discussed Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic’s chances.

Sinner and Djokovic could meet in the semi-finals at Wimbledon for the second consecutive year if they both win their quarter-final matches on Tuesday.

World No 1 Sinner, who is the reigning champion, is seeking his second title at the All England Club and fifth major overall.

Djokovic, who is seeded seventh, is chasing a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon crown and record-extending 25th Grand Slam.

Speaking to Tennis365 at Wimbledon, Baghdatis shared his thoughts on a potential blockbuster showdown between Sinner and Djokovic.

“It’s a tough one. You can never let Djokovic out of the loop, especially on grass,” said the 2006 Australian Open runner-up.

“It plays a bit lower, a bit faster. So I think that’s the surface he likes. But on the other hand, Sinner showed us many times that he’s unbelievable.

“It’s gonna be a tough one. I think that could have been the final, but they’re on the same side of the draw. We’ll see.”

Baghdatis also identified No 2 seed Alexander Zverev as a serious threat after the German’s French Open victory.

“[Alexander] Zverev, I think now that he won the French Open, the pressure of not winning a Slam went away from him, so I think he can be dangerous too,” said the Cypriot.

The former world No 8 went on to say he thinks Djokovic “deserves” to win another major, but added that he is also a big fan of Sinner’s game.

“My personal opinion, I would like to see Novak win one more time,” divulged Baghdatis.

“I think it would be great for him to win one more. I think he deserves it. He’s pushing every year. He’s still here at the age he is. So I would like to see that.

“But on the other hand, I love Sinner, I love the way he plays. It will be interesting.

“Both have had their own problems in matches. Like, Sinner got injured against [Miomir] Kecmanovic, and Novak had a tough one against Yibing Wu.”

Asked if the hot weather could be a factor if Sinner and Djokovic meet, Baghdatis replied: “It could be a factor.

“Of course, we saw Sinner struggling twice this year in difficult weather conditions — especially the hot conditions.

“But I don’t know, I think they’re both prepared. They know what they’re doing, so they’re not thinking about that.”

Baghdatis reached the semi-finals at Wimbledon in 2006, and he was a fan favourite at the historic grass-court event.

The 41-year-old, who retired from tennis after playing Wimbledon in 2019, is competing in the Invitation Doubles at the All England Club.

Alexander Zverev and Jiri Lehecka’s fourth round match was curtailed due to the infamous Wimbledon curfew.

Zverev and Lehecka took place on Centre Court after both Alexandra Eala vs Jasmine Paolini and Grigor Dimitrov vs Arthur Fery went the distance.

The pair did not begin their match until around 8:30pm, giving them a race against time to get their match finished before the curfew.

That did not happen and play was suspended with Zverev two sets up against his Czech opponent, and the third set split at 3-3.

Wimbledon’s inability to start their main courts until 1:30pm is the major reason for this and the Grand Slam must make a chance for the 2027 event.

John McEnroe says Wimbledon should be applauded for key decision they’ve made this year

A Grand Slam event simply has to be able to finish three main court matches before a curfew, especially with no rain delays, or there will continue to be suspensions of play.

While Wimbledon should be applauded for opting to stick by their curfew, as it allows players to recovery from their matches better, there is little reason why they can’t start play at 11am like they do with the ‘outside’ courts.

Wimbledon’s reasoning to start play on Centre Court and Court One is to allow more fans into the matches, but they will acclimatise in no time at all if the Grand Slam makes the change.

The London event is one of the best populated tournaments in the world and fans would be more than willing to arrive a few hours earlier if it meant they got to see the culmination of matches.

It’s also put Zverev or Lehecka in an uncomfortable position as they will no longer get a day off between their matches. Either man will have to play three days in a row, which could give them a disadvantage.

At the latter stages of the tournament, that is the last thing either man would need. While Zverev could be finished in as little as three games, there is every chance the break in play could help Lehecka produce a fightback.

With a potential two and a half sets left to play, Zverev and Lehecka could have to play nearly another whole match on Centre Court on Tuesday, July 7th’s order of play.

That could also derail Tuesday’s order of play, with Jessica Pegula set for a clash with Coco Gauff and Novak Djokovic facing Felix Auger-Aliassime.

If Wimbledon would make a simple tweak to their format and start matches at 11am on Centre Court and Court One, this could be avoided for future installments of the iconic Grand Slam.

Other Grand Slams start earlier, so Wimbledon should absolutely follow suit from the 2027 edition.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Felix Auger-Aliassime were embroiled in drama during their fourth round match at Wimbledon.

Auger-Aliassime ended up winning the match in five sets, but there was controversy during the fourth set between the Canadian and the Spaniard.

Davidovich Fokina struggled with an ankle injury while he had two break points to take the set during the fourth set and he called the physio.

After the physio, Auger-Aliassime hit a double fault to concede the fourth set to Davidovich Fokina and take the match to a decider.

Auger-Aliassime was far from happy and called the moment a ‘disgrace’ in his post-match press conference, where he also called for a rule change.

“But to stop in the middle of an opponent’s service game and to be able to call the physio, I think that’s a disgrace of a rule,” said the Canadian in his post-match press conference. “I don’t see any other sport where you can do that. I mark my words. It’s a disgrace of a rule.”

A day after crashing out of the Wimbledon fourth round, Davidovich Fokina has explained his side of the story, and confirming his injury status.

In an interview with Movistar, the Spaniard said: “This all started before Stuttgart, when I twisted my ankle training in Monte Carlo. It’s something we’re dealing with every day. I haven’t even had time to rest for three consecutive days.

“I’ve had to deal with it, Voltaren every day… I’m going to get an MRI now, but it was just one movement, when I slide and my foot rolls inwards, that’s the only movement, that’s what happened today.

“I don’t control some movements, so when my foot rolls like that, it’s 30 or 40 seconds where I see stars, and then the pain goes away, I’m pain-free. It’s something I’ll look into starting tomorrow.”

Andy Roddick was less than convinced by Davidovich Fokina’s injury, so it appears it’s going to be an ongoing argument over the legitimacy of the injury and the timing the physio was called.

Auger-Aliassime, however, will have to try and rest his anger as he has one of the biggest matches of his career coming up.

The Canadian will play Novak Djokovic in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon as he looks to reach the semi-final of a Grand Slam for the third time in his career.

Auger-Aliassime has previously reached the semi-finals of the US Open on two occasions, in 2021 and 2025, so a victory over Djokovic would be his first time in the final four of Wimbledon.

Prior to the 2026 event, Auger-Aliassime had previously reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon in 2021, but he was beaten by Matteo Berrettini.

Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner are the overwhelming favourites to win the Wimbledon title this year and they have both safely made their way to the quarter-finals of the Grand Slam.

Djokovic is set to play Felix Auger-Aliassime for the first time in four years for a place in the Wimbledon semi-finals, while Sinner will play Jan-Lennard Struff.

Sinner and Djokovic are on a collision course for the semi-finals of Wimbledon, but they will need to find a way past their respective opponents, and the hot weather, to confirm the much-anticipated match-up.

The schedule for both men’s quarter-finals have been confirmed, and Sinner looks to have been given the kinder slot from the Wimbledon organisers.

Sinner will play his second match on Court One at Wimbledon against Struff and he’s set to open the second biggest court at the Grand Slam.

That means Sinner will be playing at around 1:30pm, when temperatures don’t look set to be at their hottest. While Sinner is unlikely to have the roof to fall back on, it will only be around 27 degrees Celcius when he plays the German.

According to BBC Weather, temperatures are set to rise to a peak of 30 degrees Celcius at around 4pm, which is when Djokovic is likely to take the court for his quarter-final match.

Djokovic is set to play on Centre Court in the second and final match of the day, after Jessica Pegula’s quarter-final against Coco Gauff, so the Serbian will likely have to prepare to play at the hottest time of the day.

Both men have struggled in the heat recently, at Roland Garros, when they both suffered early exits when Paris was hit by an intense heatwave.

Djokovic was beaten in the third round by Joao Fonseca, in a five-set match which saw him vomit on the court. Whether that was due to heat issues or not, it could be a worry for the 24-time Grand Slam champion.

Sinner, meanwhile, has struggled with the heat sporadically for the last year. He was forced to retire with cramps in the humidity of the Shanghai Masters against Tallon Griekspoor and he was saved by the heat rule in his Australian Open match against Eliot Spizzirri.

At Roland Garros, Sinner suffered a capitulation in the French heat after losing a two set lead to lose in five sets to Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the second round.

With both Djokovic and Sinner vying to be Wimbledon champion, the weather could be a real turning point for both men in their quarter-finals.

Alex Eala’s run at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships came to an end with a hard-fought three-set defeat to Jasmine Paolini.

The world No 32 was beaten 6-4, 4-6, 6-3 by 13th seed Paolini in the last 16 on Centre Court at Wimbledon on Monday afternoon.

Eala‘s exit comes two days after she stunned defending champion and world No 3 Iga Swiatek in the third round.

The 21-year-old Filipina star had already achieved her best-ever result at a Grand Slam by reaching the fourth round at the All England Club.

Paolini was having a difficult 2026 season prior to Wimbledon, but the former world No 4 is now two wins away from reaching her second final at the grass-court major after she was a runner-up in 2024.

In her on-court interview, the 30-year-old Italian said: “It’s great. Stepping on this court is something special, I was looking forward to it.

“Thank you, because here it’s an amazing atmosphere, it’s something else to play tennis here. I feel so lucky to have this opportunity, and to get the win.

“It was really tough, a rollercoaster. 2026 proved me a lot. There were tough moments but I kept working with my team supporting me.

“Every day I’m feeling better, I feel in the right way when I compete on court again. That’s the most important thing to me. Stay positive and enjoy my tennis. I love what I do but I have to enjoy it, it’s my superpower.”

Carlos Alcaraz’s absence is being keenly felt at Wimbledon, but legendary tennis coach Rick Macci has told Tennis365 he is “not worried” about the Spanish superstar’s wrist injury.

World No 2 Alcaraz has not played since sustaining a right wrist injury during his first round win at the Barcelona Open almost three months ago.

Alcaraz has not disclosed the specific nature of the injury, with some reports claiming it is an inflamed tendon sheath in his wrist.

The seven-time Grand Slam champion pulled out of both Roland Garros and Wimbledon well in advance of the respective start dates.

The 23-year-old has not revealed when he plans to make his comeback, although he shared a video of himself on court and gently hitting forehands and backhands just over a week ago.

Macci — a former coach of Serena and Venus Williams — is not concerned by the length of Alcaraz’s absence from the tour.

“I think it’s smart they’re playing the long game. He’s an amazing competitor, and probably no one wants to play more than him,” Macci said in an exclusive interview with Tennis365,

“He’s taking the advice that he’s gotten. And he’s so young. He’s already changed history, he has seven Grand Slams in the back pocket.

“He’s doing the right thing by playing the long game. But, I don’t think we’re gonna know the answer to the wrist situation until he returns and he starts playing again.

“Is it gonna bubble up again? Or is it gonna be [more] history? We’re really not gonna know the extent of exactly what has happened.

“But I think he’s doing the best he can, he’s being cautious. We’ll know when he starts playing again how all this unfolds.”

Macci went on to declare that Alcaraz “will not change anything” as a result of his injury and described him as “the best role model” for young players.

“He’s the Spanish magician, he holds the racket like a paintbrush, and he does a lot of interesting things with his hands and wrist,” continued the American.

“And we could say this and that [about his technique and playing style], but listen, that’s his DNA. He’s an artist, he’s a virtuoso.

“This is how he plays — from the heart and from the soul. He’s not gonna change anything, and hopefully this will not be a big thing because let’s face it, his charisma, and his spirit… he is must-see TV.

“And he is the best role model for every junior tennis player; if you want to really see how good you can become, you can’t be afraid to fail when you’re a kid, and you’ve got to develop a complete game.

“Let’s hope that he comes back. I’m not worried about the wrist injury, but once he starts playing, we’re gonna know the score.”

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina has come under fire from Andy Roddick for his behaviour during and after his fourth-round match against Felix Auger-Aliassime with the former world No 1 saying the Spaniard had no reason to be mad at his opponent.

Third seed Auger-Aliassime was on course to complete a four-set win on No.1 Court on Sunday as he was serving for the match at 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (8-6), 6-3, 5-4, but his opponent appeared to roll his ankle and required treatment.

Once Davidovich Fokina returned after a lengthy break, the Canadian served a double fault and the set went to another tie-breaker, which the 22nd seed won, before Auger-Aliassime eventually saw it out for 6-7 (4-7), 7-6 (8-6), 6-7 (2-7), 6-1.

The Spaniard was clearly unhappy with the cold handshake from Auger-Aliassime after the match and got upset, although nothing serious happened.

During the post-match press conference, the Canadian stated that there should be a rule change to avoid such drama, saying “to stop in the middle of an opponent’s service game and to be able to call the physio, I think that’s a disgrace of a rule”.

During the latest episode of Served with Andy Roddick podcast, the American gave his take on the situation, saying: “I want to get into the back and forth with him and Davidovich Fokina because that was a little weird. FAA, it takes a lot for him to get upset, he’s one of the more even-keeled guys.

“You don’t feel like he’s one who likes to lash out, he was pretty forthright and pissed in his press conference and in my opinion is was rightfully so.

“There was something going on with his [Davidovich Fokina’s] ankle. FAA serving out the match in the fourth set at 5-4, FAA hasn’t been broken in the tournament yet at this stage, by the way, and then Davidovich-Fokina wins a point to go up 15-40 on FAA’s serve, so middle of the game, he goes down again and I’m like ‘he might never walk again in his life’. It was a lot, you don’t know what someone is feeling.

“Then he goes and gets treatment for maybe three minutes. FAA was in the middle of his service game for the match, 15-40. He comes back out and we in the green room going ‘watch him double fault here, this is ridiculous, this is insane’. Sure as s*** double and then Davidovich-Fokina was fine.

“He remembered to limp a little bit in between points, but if you do that and even if you are actually really hurt, which we don’t know [as] it was a miraculous recovery, and you have completely iced someone in the most insane way and you win the set there is still a guilt mechanism a little bit.

“[But] he’s throwing two hands out up the crowd, doing the ear. I’m going, ‘oh my gosh, I would have…’ Whatever you think about how it went down, I would have lost it if I was FAA. There is no chance I would not have said something and to his credit he did not, and I was thinking he is the nicest person I have ever known.

“Fast forward and FAA wins in five, cruises up, doesn’t say anything, gives him a hard handshake, kinda pumps him, at the net, but nothing horrible. It looked like Davidovich Fokina wanted to have a conversation, Felix pumped him and gave him a handshake shiver and walked on.

“He turns around so obviously something was said to him. I mean, there’s no chance that Davidovich-Fokina can be p****** at FAA about anything he did.

“Listen, ankle hurts, miraculous recovery, let’s say that’s a possibility, there is still no chance that he can be mad. FAA did exactly zero wrong in this scenario and then to chirp at him when his back is turned and he is about to go and celebrate a win is bulls***.”
