Wimbledon live: Alcaraz vs. Fritz and Sinner vs. Djokovic semifinals today

At Wimbledon , it's semifinal day of the men's tournament. It starts at 2:30 pm with the match between Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz , world number 2 and defending champion on the grass in London, and American Taylor Fritz , ranked number 5 in the ATP rankings. Next up is the clash between Jannik Sinner , world number 1 and the draw, and Serbian Novak Djokovic, ranked number 6 and a seven-time winner at Church Road.

Djokovic's arrival

Djokovic has arrived at the court. He's smiling, sunglasses on, and walking briskly. The crowd applauds and cheers him on. He heads to the outdoor gym to do some exercises.

The Sinner-Djokovic match as seen from Pescosolido

"Djokovic has won seven Wimbledon titles; he's always a star when there's a Grand Slam. But at 38, his ball isn't as fast as Jannik's: I think it'll be tough for Novak." This is how Stefano Pescosolido , former tennis player and Sky commentator, introduced the semifinal to Repubblica . READ THE INTERVIEW

Waiting for Djokovic

After canceling yesterday's practice, Novak Djokovic is scheduled to practice from 1:30 p.m. (Italian time) on Court 3 at Aorangi Park.

Sinner's father and brother at Wimbledon

Sinner's father, Hanspeter, and brother Mark will also be there to watch the semifinal on Centre Court. His mother, Siglinde, will not be there, having been present for the Roland Garros final, where she lost to Alcaraz.

The training

I work on my forehand and backhand diagonals, then volleys, smashes, and serves. All done with great ease under the watchful eye of Vagnozzi and Cahill. Sinner still wears the elbow protector he injured during the match against Dimitrov.

Sinner's warm up

Sinner prepared for his match against Djokovic by taking to the court at 11:30 a.m. local time (12:30 p.m. Italian time) on Court 2 at Aorangi Park. He served as sparring partner for world number 1 Caleb Simms.

Wimbledon Semifinals Time: The Schedule

At Wimbledon , it's the day of the eagerly awaited men's semifinals. The eyes of Italian fans are primarily on Jannik Sinner , who (not until around 5:30 p.m. on Centre Court) is seeking his first final at the world's most important Grand Slam. The obstacle to overcome is Novak Djokovic, a seven-time winner of the tournament but now, at 38, downgraded to world No. 6.
