Novak Djokovic vs Wu Yibing live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Wimbledon 2026

Novak Djokovic has lost three out of his previous five matches played this season.

Novak Djokovic begins his pursuit of a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon title with a first-round clash against China’s Wu Yibing.

The Serbian returns to the All England Club determined to erase the disappointment of recent seasons, having fallen short in the final in 2023 and 2024 before suffering a semi-final defeat to eventual champion Jannik Sinner last year.

With Carlos Alcaraz absent from this year’s field, Djokovic has arguably his best chance to reclaim the crown and capture a historic 25th Grand Slam singles title.

Although his results since reaching the Australian Open final have been inconsistent, Wimbledon has traditionally brought the very best out of Djokovic.

After skipping the entire grass-court swing, the Serbian will hope to use the opening rounds to build rhythm while carefully managing his physical condition.

Wu Yibing enters the contest with little pressure and everything to gain. The Chinese player possesses a powerful first serve and clean ball-striking, but grass has never been his strongest surface, and he has struggled to make an impact at Wimbledon in previous appearances.

For Djokovic, the priority will be a convincing victory without spending unnecessary time on court. If he serves efficiently and maintains his trademark consistency from the baseline, he should wrap up this contest inside two hours, in straight sets.
