Wimbledon 2026: Day five order of play and tournament schedule

Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner remain on a collision course at Wimbledon as the third round of the Championships gets underway on day five.

But viewers will likely have to wait an extra day for Serena Williams and Venus Williams to rekindle their doubles partnership, with Serena still a doubt after “tweaking her knee” during her singles defeat to Maya Joint on Tuesday night, and with the pair not currently scheduled to take to the court on Friday.

Djokovic produced a “vintage” performance to defeat former world No 3 Stefanos Tsitispas on Wednesday, a straight-sets victory he raced to in an effort to save valuable energy for his bid to win a record 25th grand slam title at Wimbledon.

The 39-year-old will now face France’s 26th seed Arthur Rinderknech, who is bidding to advance past the third round for the first time, while defending champion Sinner plays Jenson Brooksby as the Italian aims to gather momentum, and world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka meets former Jelena Ostapenko in what could be an explosive third-round clash on Centre Court.

Here’s the order of play on day five and the tournament schedule
