Wimbledon 2024 LIVE RESULTS: All the latest updates direct from SW19

Djokovic worried about tennis

Novak Djokovic laid out his burning concerns about the future of tennis, saying: At club level it’s an endangered species.

The Serbian, a dad of two, spoke out about the state of the sport after winning through to the Last 16 of Wimbledon.

He said: “Collectively we all have to come together and understand how to maintain the sport’s foundation.

“Or create a new foundation, a cornerstone of really what tennis is about, which is the base level.

“Now we have Padel that’s growing and emerging. People kind of have fun with it.

“Tennis is the king or queen of all racquet sports. But on a club level, tennis is endangered.

“If we don’t do something about it, globally or collectively, Padel or Pickleball as it’s called in the States, they’re going to convert all the tennis clubs. It’s just more economical.

“You can build three Padel courts on one tennis court.

“You do the simple maths. It’s just much more financially-viable for an owner of a club to have those courts.”

Djokovic on England win

Novak Djokovic has spoken out on Centre Court’s reaction to England beating Switzerland at Euro 2024, after enjoying a fun exchange with opponent Alexei Popyrin on court.

The Serbian, 37, said: “I think you could feel, kind of sense the energy of the stadium, that everyone was wondering what the result is.

“I was expecting it to come. If England was to score or to win, a huge eruption of the positive emotions and cheering would come from the stadium, which happened. I assume that England won at that point.

“Popyrin and I did a little fun mocking of shooting a penalty. He reached for it. It was a fun moment. I think then we could actually focus, along with the crowd, on the tennis match.

“It was a big match, obviously. It happened in the middle of our match when it started. Once the roof was closed, obviously the atmosphere became even more loud and electric, as it always is.”

Wimbledon weather update

The latest here is no play on the outside courts until at like 12.00pm.

With the sun having coming out, there’s hope that maybe we will get playing going soon.

But the covers, for now, remain on.

Always on Guard

Pep Guardiola was spotted having an “intense” chat with his daughter while watching Cameron Norrie on Centre Court yesterday.

The Manchester City boss, 53, attended Wimbledon alongside wife Cristina and daughter Maria on Super Saturday.

The trio watched the action from the Royal Box, which got underway with home hopeful Norrie’s clash with fourth seed Alexander Zverev.

During the match, Guardiola was spotted by BBC cameras appearing to give Maria a tactical masterclass.

The intense City boss animatedly waved his hands as if he were conducting his reigning Premier League champions.
