Wimbledon 2025: Djokovic races to victory; Sinner and Swiatek sail through – as it happened

Novak Djokovic produced a masterclass, while Jannik Sinner coasted to victory and Iga Swiatek handily defeated Danielle Collins

While we wait, let me delve into my reserves of Wimbledon anecdotes and pick one out from middle Saturday in 2012. Five hours and 31 minutes I sat on Court 2 watching Jack Draper's conqueror, Marin Cilic, drag out a five-set epic against Sam Querrey in the third round.

In the end it was 7-6, 6-4, 6-7, 6-7, 17-15 to the Croatian - the second longest match in Wimbledon history. The umpire, Mohamed Lahyani, had also been in the chair for that Isner v Mahut marathon two years earlier.
