Wimbledon 2024 LIVE: Tennis scores as Sinner and Alcaraz play in quarter-finals
World No 1 Jannik Sinner takes on Daniil Medvedev in the match of the day at Wimbledon on Tuesday as the quarter-finals begin at the All England Club.

On Monday, Novak Djokovic reached the quarter-finals of Wimbledon with a dominant display against Holger Rune on Centre Court on Monday evening before a furious speech accusing fans of being “disrespectful”. Elena Rybakina produced a superb display earlier in the day before her opponent Anna Kalinskaya was forced to retire hurt. And there were tears for Elina Svitolina, despite victory over , with the Ukrainian left distraught after missile attacks on five cities, with the country’s largest children’s hospital in Kyiv hit.

Organisers confident rain will not prevent Wimbledon finishing on time
Wimbledon organisers are confident of finishing the tournament on time despite forecasts of more wet weather this week.
There were only two dry days in the first week and some events are already behind schedule following numerous delays.
Conditions are forecast to be similar for the second week, but chief executive Sally Bolton believes they can get back on schedule.

Wimbledon, watch out: You just made Novak Djokovic angry
“I’ve played in much more hostile environments, trust me, you guys can’t touch me,” Novak Djokovic assured the Centre Court crowd at Wimbledon on Monday night. Even after winning in straight sets, he had the bit between his teeth. Holger Rune couldn’t touch him either, you see, so the seven-time champion had a little more energy to expend.
Make no mistake, the 24-time grand slam champion can win Wimbledon this week. He remains among the favourites, and rightly so. But after his walkover exit from the French Open, and with that compression sleeve still hugging his surgically-repaired right knee, and with his movement a little laboured, it is fair to suggest that he’ll welcome this straight-sets win.
