Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic: How to watch the Wimbledon men's semifinals today, full TV schedule and more

Two of the greatest tennis players of the decade, Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner, will face one another in the Wimbledon semifinals today. This match marks No. 6 Djokovic's 52nd Grand Slam semifinal, as he makes a bid for his 25th Grand Slam title. The 38-year old faces fierce competition from Sinner, currently the world No. 1, though Sinner has been plagued with an elbow injury that arose after a fall during his Round of 16 match against Grigor Dimitrov. Sinner defeated Djokovic at the French Open's semifinals last month, but will Djokovic even things out on the grass this week?

How to watch Wimbledon with a VPN:

Want to catch every match of Wimbledon and don't currently subscribe to ESPN+, cable or a live TV streaming service? In the U.K., the tournament will air free on BBC iPlayer; in Australia, a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now.

Don't live in either of those places? Don't worry. You can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming. Whether you're looking to watch Friends on Netflix (which left the U.S. version of the streamer back in 2019) or tune in to the next F1 race without a cable package, a VPN can help you out. Looking to try a VPN for the first time? This guide breaks down the best VPN options for every kind of user.

ExpressVPN offers "internet without borders," meaning you can catch free coverage of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships without a cable package. All you'll need to do is sign up for ExpressVPN, change your server location to the U.K. or Australia, and then find free livestream coverage via the BBC or 9Now.

ExpressVPN's added protection, speed and range of location options make it an excellent choice for first-time VPN users looking to stretch their streaming abilities, plus, it's Engadget's top pick for the best streaming VPN. New users can save 49% when they sign up for ExpressVPN's 12-month subscription. Plus, the service offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, in case you're nervous about trying a VPN.
