Two of the greatest tennis players of the decade, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, will face one another in the Wimbledon semifinals today. This match marks No. 6 Djokovic’s 52nd Grand Slam semifinal, as he makes a bid for his 25th Grand Slam title. The 38-year old faces fierce competition from Sinner, currently the world No. 1, though Sinner has been plagued with an elbow injury that arose after a fall during his Round of 16 match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner defeated Djokovic at the French Open’s semifinals last month, but will Djokovic even things out on the grass this week?
Here’s what you need to know to watch Sinner vs. Djokovic at the Wimbledon semifinals, and how to watch the rest of the tournament.

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; 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.
