Day 10 at Wimbledon - Djokovic, Sinner and Swiatek!
A huge day at Wimbledon...
Part two of the women's quarter-finals gets us underway today and it is Iga Swiatek (8) in action against Liudmila Samsonova (19) on court 1 at 1 p.m. BST local time. Meanwhile, on Center Court it is teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva (7) taking on Belinda Bencic from 1:30 p.m..
Following both of those games we have the men's draw. Jannik Sinner looks to bounce back against Ben Shelton while Flavio Cobolli has the difficult task of a tie against Novak Djokovic.
Stream every game on BBC iPlayer.
Alcaraz through to semi-finals
A valiant effort from Cam Norrie, but the Spaniard takes a straight-set win 6-2 6-3 6-3.
Alcaraz will now face Taylor Fritz in Friday's semi-final! Make sure to tune in for that.
ANSIMOVA WINS!
Amanda Anisimova has finally fought off a spirited fight back from Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, winning their semi-final 6-1 7-6.
The American 23-year-old walked the first set and was cruising the second. But her Russian opponent saved two match points before roaring back to take the second set to a tiebreak. That went back and forth before Anisimova finally got over the line 11-9.
Through to the final four at SW19, Anisimova will play her her first Grand Slam semi-final since she shocked the tennis world to make the French Open semi six years ago.
Her reward? A match against the awesome Aryna Sabalenka on Thursday...
Looking ahead to tomorrow...
While the tennis fans gathered in Centre and No.1 courts are still being entertained respectively by the Alacaraz vs Norrie and Anisimova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova quarter-finals, there's a tasty menu of last eight action coming up tomorrow.
The ladies take to the courts first, with Iga Swiatek taking on Liudmila Samsonova and teen sensation Mirra Andreeva up against Belinda Bencic.
Then it's on to the men. Jannik Sinner vs Ben Shelton looks like a blockbuster match-up, with the world No.1 getting very lucky to come through via default against Grigor Dimitrov and the American is in sensational from. While seven-time champion and arguable GOAT Novak Djokovic will be on Centre to play against Italian Flavio Cobolli.
Every single minute of every match at this year's tournament is available to stream — see how to watch Wimbledon on BBC iPlayer for free.
Reigning champ Carlos Alcaraz on Centre Court now
It's been so far, so good for Carlos Alcaraz, who is hoping to make it three Wimbledon titles in three years this week.
The mercurial Spaniard hasn't necessarily been at his best throughout, however, and had to overcome a real scare in the first round where he eventually beat veteran Fabio Fognini in five sets. He's lost sets in subsequent matches against Jan-Lennard Struff and Andrey Rublev and will feel that he needs to up his game if he wants to retain his crown — especially with the in-form Taylor Fritz lying in wait and Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic still in the draw.
Conversely, Cameron Norrie has defied expectation to make the last eight. A previous semi-finalist, he's come up trumps with huge wins against the likes of Frances Tiafoe and Nicolás Jarry to make it to this stage. He'll have the roar of the famously passionate English tennis fans behind him on Centre Court today. Has he got another shock in him?
With the free BBC iPlayer stream now live, the players are knocking up now and will start in a few minutes. Watch it from anywhere you wish with the big hitting NordVPN. It's ace!
Amanda Anisimova takes first set
American 23-year-old Amanda Anisimova has raced to a 1-0 lead against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. She hasn't let her Russian opponent settle, taking the opening set 6-1.

SABALENKA WINS AN EPIC!
Aryna Sabalenka survived a serious threat from Laura Siegemund to squeeze through to the semi-finals with a score of 4-6 6-2 6-4.
She will play the winner of Amanda Anisimova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the last four on Thursday.
The Centre Court crowd now get to enjoy the much-anticipated match between men's champion Carlos Alcaraz and last British hope Cameron Norrie.
America's Amanda Anisimova has just started
The double dose of U.S. players on Wimbledon's No.1 Court continues with Amanda Anisimova's match against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova after Taylor Fritz already progressed to the semi-finals. The pair are making a start now — here's the link you need to get the free BBC iPlayer live stream.
23-year-old Anisimova is seeded number 13 at this year's championships and has already equalled her previous best result when she made the quarters at the All England Club in 2022. She hasn't had the trickiest run to get here, but still had to find her best tennis in the Round of 16 to overcome Linda Nosková in three sets.
In Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova she plays an experienced competitor who knows how to reach Grand Slam finals — the Russian was on the wrong end of a French Open final in 2021 against Barbora Krejčíková. She had to defeat home favorite Sonay Kartal (and a malfunctioning electronic line call system!) last time around and has also beaten Naomi Osaka here this week.
Remember: If you're overseas on vacation or on business and try to watch your usual live stream, you'll inevitably find it blocked due to rights reasons. To get around this, you can try downloading a VPN. The cybersecurity software will make your laptop, phone or streaming device think it's in a different country altogether.

TAYLOR FRITZ WINS!
Taylor Fritz is the first man to reach the Wimbledon singles semi-finals in 2025, beating Karen Khachanov in four sets.
Having won the first two comfortably and then being pegged back in the third, the fourth set was a back and forth affair. Eventually going to a tiebreak, Fritz won that 7-4 to get the furthest he's ever been at SW19. The no.5 seed now plays the winner of this afternoon's Carlos Alcaraz vs Cameron Norrie clash in the semis.
Next up on No.1 court is the women's quarter-final between Amanda Anisimova vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Watch it for free on BBC iPlayer and from anywhere thanks to NordVPN.
Line call controversy
Much of the talk in the lead up to this year's Wimbledon surrounded the decision of the All England club to follow other major tournaments around the world and do away with human line judges entirely and replacing them with an automated electronic system.
While it worked without issue for the first week, the doubters finally got their chance to criticize the system on Sunday.
During the match between homegrown British talent Sonay Kartel and veteran Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, the system failed to call "out" when a shot from the former clearly landed well beyond the baseline. After a few minutes' break in play, the umpire informed the players that there had been an error with the system and that the point would need to be replayed.
Pavlyuchenkova was understandably furious — especially after she then lost the crucial replayed point. Thankfully for the Russian, she eventually went on to win the Round of 16 encounter and plays Amanda Anisimova in the quarter-finals tomorrow.
The club has responded to the understandable criticism by reviewing its procedures and removing the ability for the ball tracking technology to be turned off during matches.
Here's hoping no more issues arise...
Karen Khachanov hits back against Taylor Fritz
Just when it looked like Taylor Fritz was running away with things in the first men's quarter-final match of the day, his opponent has hit back — and in some style.
The American raced to a two-set lead 6-3 6-4 and it was hard to see a route back for Karen Khachanov. But the no.17 seed has roared back in the third, dismantling Fritz 6-1.
Can Khachanov capitalize on the momentum? Or will Fritz find the form he displayed in the opening exchanges to reach the semi-finals?

Aryna Sabalenka goes a set behind!
Despite her impressive form and victories over seeds Madison Keys and Leylah Fernandez, nobody seriously gave 37-year-old Laura Siegemund a snowball's chance in hell of toppling world no.1 Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon today.
But she's just managed to take the first set after breaking Sabalenka early on and then keeping hold of the lead throughout.
Can she really defeat the mighty Sabalenka? Tune in via the BBC iPlayer stream to find out...
Celebrity spotting on Centre Court
While the tennis will always take center stage, the famous Royal Box has been the talk of the town at Wimbledon in 2025. It's been a who's who of the sport and entertainment business with a selection of familiar faces attracting close ups each day of the championships.
Today it's all about acting royalty. Oscar winners Jodie Foster ("Silence of the Lambs") and Sir Mark Rylance ("Bridge of Spies") are both enjoying the tennis, along with Richard E. Grant ("Withnail and I") and Sienna Miller ("Layer Cake").
Golfer Tommy Fleetwood, cricketer Harry Brook, television chef Marcus Wareing and singer Katherine Jenkins have all also been spotted in the Center Court Royal Box today, too.
Aryna Sabalenka on Centre Court
The awesome Aryna Sabalenka is the first headline act to take to Centre Court today — she's playing against German veteran Laura Siegemund for a place in the semi-finals.
Already no.1 in the list of ladies' seeds and world rankings, Sabalenka was one of the pre-tournament favorites to take her first Wimbledon title. That has only been advanced further by the fact that seeds two to six (Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini, Zheng Qinwen and Madison Keys) all crashed out by the end of the first week.
The match is just getting started on Centre Court now. Here's the link to the BBC iPlayer stream.
Today's quarter-final schedule
A reminder of today's (Tuesday, July 8) show court schedule at Wimbledon with times in ET:
Centre Court
8:30 a.m. — Aryna Sabalenka (1) vs Laura Siegemund
10 a.m. — Carlos Alcaraz (2) vs Cameron Norrie
No. 1 Court
8 a.m. — Taylor Fritz (5) vs Karen Khachanov (17)
9:30 a.m. — Amanda Anisimova (13) vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova
It's worth remembering that each of the second games to be played are approximate times only. They will follow at the conclusion of the first match on court.
So if, for example, Fritz gets himself embroiled in yet another five-set epic, the Anisimova and Pavlyuchenkova probably won't find themselves on court until 12 p.m. ET at the earliest.
Every second of action is being streamed absolutely free on the BBC iPlayer. And if you find yourself outside the U.K. today and still want to watch your usual stream, then getting a VPN can help you to get around pesky geo-restrictions.
Taylor Fritz gets the show courts started on Day 9
Taylor Fritz has had a topsy turvy Wimbledon. He started off with two epic five-setters against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard and Gabriel Diallo that saw him on court for several hours over the course of the tournament’s first few days.
But his luck changed in the Round of 16 — Australian opponent Jordan Thompson pulled up with an injury in the second set and Fritz progressed to the next stage via default. No tennis player will tell you that they like winning on this basis, but we’re sure Fritz isn’t complaining about the extra time he has to put his feet up.
The brightest American hope left across both draws now has a great opportunity to make it into the final four. He’s kicking things off on No.1 court right now against the dangerous Karen Khachanov. He’s a former Grand Slam semi-finalist in his own right, so don’t expect an easy ride for Fritz.
The match is streaming for free online having started at 8 a.m. ET / 1 p.m. BST on the BBC iPlayer.

“I don’t think I’ve really had a loss like this in a long time, where I feel like I maybe had chances and didn’t take them,” said Raducanu. “I think usually I’m pretty good at converting.”
“I’ll probably find it tough to sleep tonight,” she added. “It’s going to take me a few days to process. But at the same time, it really motivates me.
Raducanu called out Wimbledon’s "wrong" electronic line calling in the first set, asking the umpire, "You saw it out as well, right?”

Will 2025 be her year?

The British hopeful taking on Carlos Alcaraz

However, the British Qualifier will of course have the crowd on his side and he had no struggles in seeing off Leandro Riedi in the 1st round on Monday.
The match is scheduled to start at 9:40 a.m. (ET) and BBC iPlayer's live stream for Alcaraz vs Tarvet will be available in the U.K. To watch it overseas, you'll need access to a VPN — NordVPN is the very best you can get.
Wimbledon Day 3 LIVE
Day two of Wimbledon was a disappointing one for American fans as second seed Coco Gauff was dumped out of the tournament by Dayana Yastremska.
However, SW19 never rests and we are back today with Carlos Alcaraz headlining Wednesday. The Spaniard takes on British qualifier Oliver Tarvet.
Elsewhere, Emma Raducanu, Aryna Sabalenka are in action while Brazil's teenage star Joao Fonseca takes on American Jenson Brooksby.
IBM's AI predicts Djokovic win
The AI has spoken: the current likelihood of Alexandre Muller winning today is 23%, while Novak Djokovic's is 77%.
Based on IBM's pre-match likelihood to win, the predicted winner for the match between Alexandre Muller and Novak Djokovic is Novak Djokovic.
No surprises there – but Muller hasn't laid down his tennis racquet yet. He's very much keeping pace in this second set, with just one game separating the players.
Can Muller pull a set back? We're about to find out...
Gauff vs Yastremska MOVED to Court No.1 – LIVE NOW!
Draper's early finish means that Gauff vs Yastremska has been moved from Center Court to Court No.1 - the match is live now!
Gauff is five games to two down in the first set but it's early days for World No.2 Gauff.
Yastremska is looking impressive though and we've already seen some upsets today – could Gauff be next?
Yastremska has eight winners so far; Gauff has zero. An extraordinary statistic.
Can Yastremska keep up this level of play?
Coco Gauff in action NOW!
Novak Djokovic 1-0 UP
A rare airshot from Novak Djokovic – he completely misses the ball!
But Djokovic has made a great start, thrashing Muller 6-1 in the first set.
Earlier today, Germany's Alexander Zverev crashed out again Muller.
Gauff set to take center stage in next hour...

UPSET ALERT! No.3 Zverev OUT of WIMBLEDON
That's it. The Arthur Rinderknech vs Alexander Zverev First Round clash is over – and the final score was 7-6, 6-7, 6-3, 6-7, 6-4, with Arthur Rinderknech pulling off a stunning upset to progress.
Rinderknech hit 79 winners and served 25 aces, winning 79% of first serves on the way to a stunning win.
Rinderknech, ranked No.72, somehow found a way to control No.3 seed and move into the second round.
Next up... Djokovic.
Zverev DOWN in FIFTH SET against Rinderknech!
Is Arthur Rinderknech is on the verge of dumping Alexander Zverev out of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships?
The Frenchman is currently up in the 5th set of his Center Court clash...
What time will Coco Gauff play at Wimbledon today?
Having won the French Open in style last month, Cori 'Coco' Gauff's first appearance at Wimbledon 2025 against Ukrainian opponent Dayana Yastremska has been much anticipated.
Unfortunately, tennis fans glued to the action on Centre Court have to wait until today's fourth and final match in the famous arena. The day kicked off with Barbora Krejcikova starting her title defence with a nervy win over debutant Alexandra Eala. Currently Alex Zverev and Arthur Rinderknech are continuing their epic battle that started yesterday.
Then it's seven-time champion Novak Djokovic's turn to wow the crowds, taking on Alexandre Muller.
So where does that leave Gauff and American tennis fans? Well, you're still in for a bit of a wait and the start time entirely depends on how long the two matches before her take.
If Rinderknech ties up a surprise win over Zverev in the current fourth set tiebreak and then Novak obliterates Muller, Gauff could be on in two to three hours. Possibly from 8:30 p.m. BST local time (3:30 p.m. ET).
However, if Zverev claws his way back to a five-setter and then Novak is taken the distance, you can add another couple of hours at least on to that time. That would be approaching the 11 p.m. BST curfew time at SW19.
If that happens, Wimbledon officials will have to decide what to do next. They may opt to move Gauff vs Yastremska to another court, or simply delay it until tomorrow.
To keep up with the latest from Wimbledon, you can stream all matches for FREE via the BBC iPlayer. (Note, you'll need a VPN to watch if you're outside the U.K. right now.)
British hope Jack Draper looking to fill "big shoes" of Andy Murray
Seeded No.4 at this year's championship, the hopes of British tennis fans rest with Jack Draper becoming the U.K.'s next Wimbledon singles winner.
No prizes for knowing that Andy Murray was the last player to do that, with his two Wimbledon wins coming in 2013 and 2016.
Draper is very aware of his responsibility to give home fans reason to cheer. "I'll keep doing my best to try and keep improving, to show my best tennis out there, to hopefully present myself as the player and the person I want to be," he said in his pre-tournament press conference.
"Obviously Andy's done an unbelievable job of that and has been incredibly successful and has become adored by the nation.
"It's obviously big shoes to fill — I'm aware of that."
After Emma Navarro's dismantling of Petra Kvitova on No.1 court, Draper will soon make his way on to court to huge cheers and expectation. He must face down the tricky prospect of Argentinian Sebastian Baez, though, who himself only just missed out on a seeded place at SW19 this year.
The BBC iPlayer's live stream for Draper vs Baez is now available in the U.K. To watch it overseas, you'll need access to a VPN — NordVPN is the very best you can get.
Is Zverev heading for an early exit on Centre Court?
No fewer than 11 Gentlemen's seeds have already crashed out of Wimbledon 2025 — and they might soon be joined by the No.3 seed Alex Zverev.
After starting late in the day yesterday against the French Arthur Rinderknech, he managed to come back from a set down before the match hit the 11 p.m. curfew at SW19.
The players have now retaken their place across the net from each other on Centre Court, but Zverev has again gone a set behind after Rinderknech took the third set 6-3.
Having developed a reputation as a nearly man when it comes to the Slams, Zverev would have hoped to be challenging Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz this year's Wimbledon. Can he turn this match around and keep his hopes alive of a first major win?
You can stream Zverev vs Rinderknech for FREE thanks to the BBC iPlayer here. And you can take advantage of NordVPN's current discounts and offers if you're currently overseas and still want to watch the stream.
Could BBC break even more streaming records at Wimbledon 2025?
It's probably unsurprising considering the amount we all know viewing habits have changed over recent years, but U.K. broadcaster the BBC has been able to boast record numbers of streams for different sporting events over the last 12 months.
Last summer, for example, it announced that its coverage of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games was streamed a record-breaking 218 million times. The broadcaster said that this more than doubled the Tokyo Olympic Games (104 million) streaming number of four years previously.
The corporation then announced in May that 29 million streams of the World Snooker Championships had taken place across the span of that tournament — another record.
Although the Director of BBC Sport, Alex Kay-Jelski, put this down to "matches [that] have had drama, legends clashing, and rising stars showcasing the brilliance of the sport's next generation of players," it's surely no coincidence that this was the year that Zhao Xintong became China's first ever world champion. It's a massive emerging market for the sport.
BBC iPlayer streams are generally unavailable outside the U.K. due to rights restrictions. However, many people overseas use streaming VPNs to get around this kind of geo-blocking.
This is especially tempting for tennis fans, considering that every single match of Wimbledon 2025 is FREE to watch on the BBC iPlayer.
Watch Emma Navarro vs Petra Kvitova now on No.1 Court
One of Wimbledon 2025's fonest farewells will be for the two-time champion Petra Kvitova. Ranked outside the world top 500 and at SW19 only thanks to a wild card, she announced a couple of years ago that this would be her final appearance here.
The rangy Czech player shocked Maria Sharapova in 2011 to win her maiden Grand Slam at the age of just 21. She repeated the feat three years later, defeating Eugenie Bouchard in the 2014 final.
Hoping for a fairy-tale happy ending, she gets her ultimate Wimbledon campaign started against Emma Navarro from the U.S. The 24-year-old South Carolinian has risen to the top 10 in the world, largely thanks to a strong run of Grand Slam results over the last year or so. Having convincingly beaten Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka, Navarro's 2024 tournament ended in the quarter-finals against the on-fire Jasmine Paolini.
Kvitova has made the quicker start, breaking Navarro's first service game. You can see the encounter play out live and for FREE on the BBC iPlayer here. You'll have to download and use a VPN if you want to stream from overseas.
How many people watch Wimbledon every year?
With its history, prestige, traditions and elite players, Wimbledon is one of the most watched tennis events the world over.
Last year saw more than 500,000 in-venue attendees at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (to give it the full name) across the two weeks. On Day 12 alone there were 33,489 watching in person according to the official Wimbledon website. The capacity is said to be 42,000, so there's potentially room for even more to enter through the turnstiles.
Of course those numbers are only multiplied enormously by tennis fans who watch Wimbledon online and on TV around the planet. Streams go to more than 200 countries, with 50.2 million watching on the BBC in the U.K. last year and around 26 million people reached in the U.S.
If you're in a country that doesn't get Wimbledon coverage or are overseas and want to watch your usual domestic coverage, you'll find that the extensive online iPlayer coverage that's maintained so proudly by the BBC is unavailable.
However, you can access it as normal thanks to a VPN. The one we rank as the very best is NordVPN, thanks to its speed, ease-of-use and unmatched ability to unblock streams of all kinds. Get it now with 76% off the usual price and a FREE Amazon gift card worth up to $50/£50.
Who can I watch right now? Choose from 18 matches
In order to try and catch up with the matches that weren't able to be finished yesterday, all 18 of Wimbledon's courts have now been opened up. That includes the previously closed Court 10, which will see the first round encounter between Magdalena Frech vs Victoria Mboko start at 4 p.m. BST / 11 a.m. ET.
With reigning Ladies' champion Barbora Krejcikova managing to finally fight off a spirited challenge from Alexandra Eala, the second game on Centre Court will now start — the recommencing Alexander Zverev vs Arthur Rinderknech match poised nicely from last night at one set all.
Taylor Fritz vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard has finally been completed on No.1 Court (the American eventually winning in five sets), which will now host Emma Navarro vs Petra Kvitova. The latter is a two-time champion at SW19 and playing in her last ever Wimbledon.
Elsewhere, there's Iga Swiatek vs Polina Kudermetova, Mirra Andreeva vs Mayar Sherif, Camila Osorio vs Danielle Collins and that all British clash between Dan Evans vs Jay Clarke all in progress.
Every single one is available to watch absolutely FREE on the BBC iPlayer streaming service. Away from the U.K. right now? Then you can use NordVPN or another excellent VPN to watch as if you were back at home.
Who is in the Wimbledon 2025 commentary team?
With so many courts to cover, the commentary teams of Wimbledon broadcasters like the BBC in the U.K. and ESPN in the U.S. are extensive.
Despite Wimbledon being free to watch on BBC iPlayer, it manages to splash out on some big name talents for their coverage. You'll hear analysis from great former players such as previous Wimbledon champions John McEnroe, Pat Cash and Marion Bartoli, in addition to the likes of Naomi Broady, Kim Clijsters, Annabel Croft, Daniela Hantuchova, Tim Henman, Laura Robson, Greg Rusedski, Leon Smith, Jeff Tarango, Coco Vandeweghe and Mark Woodforde.
Plus, there are Wimbledon U.K. commentary stalwarts such as Andrew Castle, Andrew Cotter, Jo Durie and John Lloyd all calling the action.
In the States, the ESPN coverage of Wimbledon 2025 will be called by a commentary team led by Darren Cahill, Jeff Darlington, Chris Fowler, John McEnroe, Sam Querrey and Pam Shriver.
Wimbledon live streams can be watched from as little as $23 in the U.S. thanks to Sling TV.
Iga Swiatek on court now
For a five-time Grand Slam champion and former world No.1, Wimbledon has so far been a bit of a blip on the career of Iga Swiatek. Her best result at SW19 came two years ago when — seeded first — she was beaten in the quarter-final by Elina Svitolina.
After a disappointing few months by her lofty standards, she has dropped to No.4 in the world rankings. She'll be desperate to turn the form book on its head and go deep into the second week at Wimbledon this year.
She starts against Polina Kudermetova. The 22-year-old Russian is having a breakout year of her own, cracking the top 100 and making her first ever WTA Final at the Brisbane International. She lost that match to the awesome Aryna Sabalenka. Can she topple Swiatek today and record the biggest victory of her young career?
The pair are just starting on No.2 Court, and the free BBC iPlayer stream can be found here. Don't forget that you can watch that stream — even if you're away from the U.K. right now — thanks to the wonders of NordVPN. See the fabulous deal you can get at the top of this page.
Can I watch Wimbledon 2025 for free in the U.S?
There are no less than 21 American players scheduled to play at Wimbledon today, including the likes of Coco Gauff, Taylor Fritz, Emma Navarro, Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul.
As explained in our dedicated guide on how to watch Wimbledon 2025, U.S. coverage is shared between ESPN channels on TV and ESPN+ Plus online. That means you'll need a paid subscription to cable plan or a streaming service in order to watch.
The only way that we know of to get free coverage of Wimbledon in the U.S. is by signing up to a 7-day FREE TRIAL to OTT streaming service Fubo, which includes ESPN within its channel line-up. Although that will only help you with your first week of live coverage.
If you're a Brit currently on vacation in the U.S. who thinks it's unfair that you can't watch the compressive — and free — BBC iPlayer coverage, then we recommend you look at subscribing to one of the best VPNs.
The best option you can currently choose is NordVPN, with a current deal taking 76% off the usual price, 4 months extra free and an Amazon gift card thrown in, too! Click here to take advantage.
Battle of the Brits — Dan Evans vs Jay Clarke
There's an all-British clash on the popular Court 12 up next, with Dan Evans vs Jay Clarke about to begin.
For 35-year-old Evans, it's possibly the final time for him to crack his home championship, having never made it past the third round. Clarke is nine years his junior, but it has been six years since his best performance at SW19 when he managed to make it through the first round for the first and only time.
Like all the other matches at Wimbledon (whether or not a Brit is playing!), the match will be shown for FREE on the BBC iPlayer.
Not in the U.K. right now? Then use NordVPN to watch from anywhere. You can currently save up to 76% with this brilliant deal.
The heat is on!
The tennis action at Wimbledon may be hot, but the actual temperature has been even hotter. According to the BBC, yesterday was the hottest opening day at the championship on record.
"Air temperature on the grounds had reached 32.3C by 16:00 BST on Monday, surpassing the previous record at the start of a Championships - the 29.3C set in 2001," it said.
Temperatures are forecast to be similar — or even hotter — today. It may even challenge the warmest mark ever recorded during the tournament of 35.7C in 2015.
It meant that the live coverage has been beset with players draping themselves with ice-filled towels during breaks.
17 matches available to watch right now
Not interested in watching Jannik Sinner or Barbora Krejcikova? No worries — you can take your pick of your chosen match from all 17 of the active courts at Wimbledon (there's no play scheduled on Court 10 today).
Check out the FREE BBC iPlayer (U.K.) or ESPN Plus (paid, U.S.) for extensive coverage. And don't forget to get hold of a VPN as explained above if you're overseas right now and still want to watch any or all of the matches!
That includes a big clash in the men's side of the draw with Lorenzo Musetti vs Nikoloz Basilashvili. Musetti made a huge impact at SW19 last year, making it all the way to the semi-finals. Basilashvili may be 33 now, but still has the ability to upset the odds and kill off yet another seed after yesterday's mass exodus.
Elsewhere, breakout French Open star Alexander Bublik is playing against Jaume Munar on Court 14, big hitting Canadian Denis Shapovalov is on Court 17 against Mariano Navone, and Ladies 5th seed Qinwen Zheng is a set down to Katerina Siniakova on No.3 Court.
Women's champion Barbora Krejcikova is on Centre Court
12 months ago, Czechia's Barbora Krejcikova shook SW19 when she beat Jasmine Paolini on Saturday afternoon in a fantastic Ladies's singles final.
It perhaps shouldn't have come as such a surprise, after she won the French Open in 2021. But, seeded at a lowly 31, she had to beat the likes of Jeļena Ostapenko, Elena Rybakina and Danielle Collins on her way to lifting the famous silver salver for the first time.
She starts at a slightly better 17th seed this time around and opens her defence against the 20-year-old Alexandra Eala.
Ranked at 56 in the world, Eala is the first Filipino to make the main Wimbledon Ladies's singles draw. It's just her first Grand Slam appearance, having been knocked out in the first round of the French Open earlier in the year.
The FREE stream is now live on the BBC iPlayer — click here to watch now.
Tuesday's matches to watch
After yesterday's opening day at SW19, there's another jam-packed schedule of action taking place across the courts today.
While the action began at 11 a.m. BST local time (6 a.m. ET) this morning, the Show Courts are starting about now. And who better to start things off on No.1 Court than the No.1 ranked man in the world — Jannik Sinner. His match with fellow Italian Luca Nardi has just begun.
That's followed by the conclusion of the perfectly poised at 2-2 match between Taylor Fritz vs Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard. Then it's two-time champion Petra Kvitova vs Emma Navarro in the former's final Wimbledon, before local favorite Jack Draper gets started against Sebastian Baez.
Centre Court action gets started slightly later at 1:30 p.m. BST / 6:30 a.m. ET, with last year's surprise champion Barbora Krejcikova starting her defence against Alexandra Eala. Novak Djokovic begins his quest for an eighth Wimbledon crown starts later on the main court, with American favorite Coco Gauff closing proceedings against Dayana Yastremska.
Elsewhere today, there are matches for Lorenzo Musetti vs Nikoloz Basilashvili, Iga Swiatek vs Polina Kudermetova and Ben Shelton vs Alex Bolt — all on No.2 court.
