Novak Djokovic v Stefanos Tsitsipas LIVE: Wimbledon 2026 latest scores, results and order of play as as Djokovic produces masterclass to race into third round

Novak Djokovic is wearing a lot of tape around his right shoulder. He looked pretty good today, though. Arthur Rinderknech is next for Djokovic.

The most impressive statistic from Djokovic today? 33 winners to just seven unforced errors. Magnificent. Even Djokovic says that was “vintage”.

A masterclass from Djokovic, and he even saves two break points in the final game to get over the line. It denies Tsitsipas a single break in this match, in was a one-sided contest from the very start.

A bit sad to see how far Tsitsipas has fallen since these two met in the Australian Open final in 2023. Even at 39, Djokovic was far too good for Tsitsipas today. He races to victory, and saves himself some important energy, too.

Djokovic is moving through the gears. After breaking into the splits behind the baseline, he produces a wonderful drop shot to pull Tsitsipas out of position. The he thunders a return winner to get to three break points. This would be the match.

And it is. A lob seals it. A masterclass from Djokovic. Sublime.

Tsitsipas balloons a forehand into the benches and Djokovic follows up a short ball to whack the forehand winner down the line.

Djokovic looks a little unsteady on his feet as he slips behind the baseline but a wild forehand error from Tsitsipas brings up two break points.

Tsitsipas nets on the backhand. Djokovic ramped up the power and direction and Tsitsipas could not live with it.

This is pretty horrible for Tsitsipas. He whiffs at a forehand that caught the baseline, with Djokovic now getting a good chance for the break on 0-30. Djokovic springs into action on the return, but Tsitsipas holds him off.

Djokovic dives to try and reach the Tsitsipas pass, but can’t reach. Tsitsipas holds with an ace out wide.

Tsitsipas did not win a single point against the Djokovic first serve. He heads off court for a break, but he needs a miracle.

It is classic Djokovic to save his best level for the most important point of the match so far. Only an hour in, he is in complete control. Tsitsipas puts a limp forehand into the net on set point.

Tsitsipas puts himself under pressure with a couple of poor strokes on either wing, but he responds with an ace down the middle on 30-30. Djokovic catches the baseline and Tsitsipas shanks the forehand. Deuce.

Can Djokovic strike here? He punishes a weak second serve from Tsitsipas with a forehand winner down the line, then Tsitsipas throws a forehand long. Break point.

HOW has Djokovic won that point?! Tsitsipas had two chances to put him away on the smash, but couldn’t. Djokovic hung up a miracle lob to stay in the point, then Tsitsipas blinks after Djokovic snapped a forehand!

What a way to break. That’s a killer for Tsitsipas.

Something is not quite right from Djokovic. He was gesturing to his box at the changeover, then is very slow to get to his feet after a diving volley.

But then he fires back-to-back aces so maybe everything is fine.
