With a potential semi-final meeting with Sinner looming, the 37-year-old Serbian veteran knows there&#8217;s little room for error.<\/p>\n<p>Sinner, who has looked in commanding form so far, faces a stern test against 19th seed Grigor Dimitrov in the final Centre Court match of the day. The Bulgarian, a former Wimbledon semi-finalist, is back in the second week of a major for the first time since the 2024 US Open, looking to upset the top seed.<\/p>\n<p>In between the two men&#8217;s singles contests, the Centre Court spotlight will turn to the women&#8217;s draw, with 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva &#8211; fresh off her silver medal run in Paris &#8211; facing off against rising American star Emma Navarro, seeded 10th. With a spot in the quarter-finals at stake, this clash of youth and power promises fireworks.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, over on No.1 Court, Poland&#8217;s Iga Swiatek resumes her Wimbledon campaign against Denmark&#8217;s 23rd seed Clara Tauson. Swiatek, the reigning Olympic bronze medallist, has yet to go deep at SW19 and faces a tricky test in the hard-hitting Tauson.<\/p>\n<p>American Ben Shelton, seeded 10th, will be eyeing a quarter-final berth when he takes on Italy&#8217;s Lorenzo Sonego, while Ekaterina Alexandrova meets Tokyo Olympic champion Belinda Bencic in a compelling battle of power hitters.<\/p>\n<p>Veteran Croatian Marin Cilic, a former finalist, continues his dream run on No.2 Court after ousting home favourite Jack Draper. He meets 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli, while Russia&#8217;s Liudmila Samsonova faces Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro.<\/p>\n<p>Doubles action is also heating up across the outer courts, with British hopes Joe Salisbury, Neal Skupski and Julian Cash all involved, alongside top seeds in the mixed and women&#8217;s doubles draws.<\/p>\n<p>Yuki Bhambri and his American partner Robert Galloway will take on Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos in the men&#8217;s doubles fourth round at Wimbledon 2025 on Monday, 7 July. Bhambri, the lone Indian remaining in the men&#8217;s doubles draw at SW19, will be aiming to carry forward his strong form and book a place in the quarter-finals.<\/p>\n<h3>Wimbledon Day 8 &#8211; Key Matches:<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Centre Court (from 6:00pm IST)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Novak Djokovic [6] vs Alex de Minaur [11]<\/p>\n<p>Mirra Andreeva [7] vs Emma Navarro [10]<\/p>\n<p>Jannik Sinner [1] vs Grigor Dimitrov [19]<\/p>\n<p><strong>No.1 Court (from 5:30 pm IST)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ekaterina Alexandrova [18] vs Belinda Bencic<\/p>\n<p>Ben Shelton [10] vs Lorenzo Sonego<\/p>\n<p>Iga Swiatek [8] vs Clara Tauson [23]<\/p>\n<p><strong>No.2 Court<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Marin Cilic vs Flavio Cobolli [22]<\/p>\n<p>Liudmila Samsonova [19] vs Jessica Bouzas Maneiro<\/p>\n<p>Dolehide\/Kenin [16] vs Chan\/Krejcikova<\/p>\n<p><strong>No.3 Court<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cash\/Glasspool [5] vs Andreozzi\/Demoliner<\/p>\n<p>Khromocheva\/Stollar [13] vs Dabrowski\/Routliffe [2]<\/p>\n<p>Verbeek\/Siniakova vs Paris\/Silva<\/p>\n<p><strong>Other notable doubles fixtures:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Salisbury\/Skupski [6] vs Gonzalez\/Molteni [12] (Court 12)<\/p>\n<p>Kudermetova\/Mertens [8] vs Haddad Maia\/Siegemund [11] (Court 15)<\/p>\n<p>Yuki Bhambri\/Robert Galloway [16] vs Granollers\/Zeballos [4] (Court 18)<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; Ends<\/p>\n<div class=\"authors__container\">\n<div class=\"authors__by\">\n<p>Published By: <\/p>\n<p>Saurabh Kumar<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"published__on\">\n<p>Published On: <\/p>\n<p>Jul 7, 2025<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wimbledon 2025 enters the business end of the tournament on Monday (July 7), with Centre Court promising a packed Day 8 schedule headlined by Olympic champion Novak Djokovic, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner, and five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek.
