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

Djokovic is undefeated against Safiullin ahead of their fourth-round clash.
Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic found a way past Arthur Rinderknech despite being tested by the Frenchman.
A 2-0 lead became 2-1 as Rinderknech claimed the third set. The 39-year-old Serb closed out the match in the fourth-set tie-break and wrapped up the three-hour contest 7-5, 6-4, 1-6, 7-6(4).
With his 105th win at Wimbledon, he moves into the Round of 16, where he will face Russian qualifier Roman Safiullin. The unseeded Russian dispatched highly fancied Brazilian Joao Fonseca in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
The Safiullin journey at Wimbledon 2026 reads like a fairytale: he ground his way through qualifying. He played back-to-back five-setters against Andrey Rublev and Botic van de Zandschulp to return to the fourth round.
Djokovic holds a perfect 3-0 head-to-head record against Safiullin. The duo last played at the 2024 Shanghai Masters, with a familiar storyline emerging. The Serbian veteran is yet to drop a set to the Russian.
Sunday’s contest marks their first meeting in nearly two years, with a place in the Wimbledon quarter-finals going to the victor. The Serbian is aiming to reach the last eight at the All England Club for the 17th time.
Safiullin is playing some of the best tennis of his life at the moment and is chasing his second Wimbledon quarterfinal. The winner goes on to face either Felix Auger-Aliassime or Alejandro Davidovich Fokina in the last eight.
