Jannik Sinner may not have made it to the Wimbledon quarterfinals were it not for a mid-match injury that his Round of 16 opponent Grigor Dimitrov suffered, forcing him to retire prematurely. Dimitrov had dominated the match and was ahead by two sets when a chest injury forced him off the court. No. 1 seed Sinner will now face No. 10 seed American Ben Shelton at Wednesday’s quarterfinal match on No. 1 Court.
Here’s what you need to know to watch Sinner vs. Shelton at Wimbledon 2025, and how to watch the rest of the tournament.
Date: July 9
Time: 9:10 a.m. ET (approximate)

Jannik Sinner’s match against Ben Shelton is today, July 9, and starts at approximately 9:10 a.m. ET, or whenever the previous women’s match between Iga Swiatek and Liudmila Samsonova concludes.
The Sinner vs. Shelton match will air on ESPN2. Every Wimbledon match will also be available to stream on ESPN+.
If you want to catch every match of Wimbledon and don’t currently subscribe to ESPN+, cable or a live TV streaming service, in the U.K., the tournament will air free on BBC iPlayer, and in Australia, a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now.
Don’t live in either of those places? Don’t worry. You can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you’re looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out.
