Wimbledon title rivals Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner will move closer to a blockbuster semifinal showdown if they win their fourth-round ties on Monday.
Djokovic, the seven-time Wimbledon champion, and world number one Sinner are on course to meet in a heavyweight last-four clash.

While defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is yet to consistently find his top form at the tournament, Djokovic and Sinner have been dominant on the grass.
Fresh from his 100th win at Wimbledon on Saturday — making him the third player to reach that landmark after Martina Navratilova and Roger Federer — Djokovic faces Australian 11th seed Alex de Minaur.
Sinner has dropped just 17 games in his first three matches, equalling Jan Kodes’ 1972 record for the lowest number of games lost en route to the Wimbledon last 16.
“About the games lost, this is whatever. I’m not looking at these kind of records. I know that everything can change very quickly from one round to the other,” said the Italian.
Both Djokovic and Sinner, who has yet to drop serve in this year’s event, have added motivation to lift the trophy on July 13.

Three-time Grand Slam champion Sinner, who takes on Bulgarian 19th seed Grigor Dmitrov on Monday, is looking to reach his maiden Wimbledon final.
Aged 38, Djokovic is aiming to win a record 25th major title, breaking a tie with the long-retired Margaret Court, and a record-equalling eighth men’s crown at the All England Club.
Five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek has never reached a Wimbledon final but the Pole is in a strong position in the second week of the tournament after the exit of so many of the top seeds.
Although Swiatek, who plays Danish 23rd seed Clara Tauson in the last 16, has reached only one All England Club quarterfinal, she made the Bad Homburg final on grass recently and also won the Wimbledon junior title.
