Serbia’s Novak Djokovic defeated Australia's Nick Kyrgios at Wimbledon to win his 21st Grand Slam, putting him one behind record-holder Rafael Nadal of Spain, in a match briefly interrupted by a Peng Shuai protester.

Serbia’s defending champion Novak Djokovic has reached the men’s singles final at Wimbledon after besting home favourite Cameron Norrie 2-6, 6-3, 6-2, 6-4 on Centre Court.

Serbian top seed Novak Djokovic came from two sets down to stage a trademark comeback against young Italian Jannik Sinner in the quarter-finals at Wimbledon to make it into the final four of the men's singles for the 11th time.

In a battle of two prodigies, Italy's 10th seed Jannik Sinner advanced to the quarter-finals in four entertaining sets against Spanish fifth seed Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 6-4, 6-7, 6-3 at Wimbledon in the men's singles.

The past and the present stood together on Centre Court at Wimbledon today to celebrate the centenary of the most famous lawn in tennis prior to the start of this year's fourth round matches.

Third seed Casper Ruud was knocked out of Wimbledon by Ugo Humbert - despite the Frenchman arriving on the grass court without a racquet - while two-time champion Sir Andy Murray is also out.

Reigning US Open champion Emma Raducanu and two-time Wimbledon champion Sir Andy Murray are both through to the second round at the grass-court Grand Slam, which began today without banned Russian players in attendance and lacking its usual ranking points.

So many enduring traditions are being observed as the Wimbledon Championships - or, to give them their traditional and very English title, The Championships, Wimbledon - get underway in south-west London on what promises to be a, traditionally, mixed day of weather.

Defending champion Novak Djokovic of Serbia has reiterated his opposition to Wimbledon’s blanket ban of players from Russia and Belarus before he attempts to win a seventh men's singles title in London.

This year’s total prize money for Wimbledon will be a record £40.3 million ($50.3 million/ €47.4 million) with the men’s and women’s singles champions set to earn £2 million ($2.49 million/ €2.35 million) each.
