When is Novak Djokovic playing? Time, TV channel for Saturday Wimbledon matchup
Novak Djokovic's quest for an eighth Wimbledon title is off to a strong start. The 24-time major winner has won six of his first seven sets at the tournament and advanced with ease into Round 3 after sweeping Daniel Evans in straight sets: 6-3, 6-2, 6-0.
Now, Djokovic will turn his attention to his next opponent: one of his countrymen and a top-50 player in the world rankings.
Djokovic – who has won a record 24 men's singles major titles during his illustrious career – has enjoyed a great deal of success at Wimbledon throughout his career, especially in recent seasons. He has made the tournament final six consecutive times, though he has lost to Carlos Alcaraz back-to-back years in the championship match.
Djokovic's success at the All England Club is part of why he is among the favorites to win the event despite entering the tournament as the No. 6 seed. Another win would allow him to tie Roger Federer's record of eight wins at the grass-court tournament.
Below is what to know about Djokovic's Round 3 matchup, how to watch him on the court and his results from tennis' oldest major.
