Novak Djokovic vs Stefanos Tsitsipas live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Wimbledon 2026
Djokovic and Tsitsipas renew their rivalry at Wimbledon 2026.
Novak Djokovic weathered an inspired performance from Wu Yibing to prevail in a hard-fought four-set contest. The 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-4 victory came in just over three hours for the Serb after he quelled the Chinese player’s challenge late in the fourth set to emerge victorious.
Djokovic’s unbeaten streak of first-round victories remains intact in his 21st Wimbledon appearance.
World No. 8, Djokovic, faces familiar foe in Stefanos Tsitsipas. The unseeded Greek faces an uphill battle in the second-round face-off against the seven-time Wimbledon champion.
Tsitsipas, World No. 87, eliminated French qualifier Hugo Gaston 6-1, 6-4, 6-2 in just 92 minutes.
Despite a solid start to his campaign, Tsitsipas has to contend with a lopsided rivalry when he takes on Djokovic on Wednesday.
A 2-12 head-to-head record, with the Greek yet to defeat Djokovic since 2019, does not look favourable. Their last meeting at a Grand Slam stage saw Djokovic claim the 2023 Australian Open title in straight sets.
Both players won a title each in 2025, with Tsitsipas winning the Dubai Open and Djokovic the title at Athens. On the Grand Slam stage, the Serb, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, is the overwhelming favourite.
