Day 10 at Wimbledon 2025: Key Matches to Watch
Welcome to the tenth day of Wimbledon 2025. If the first week was about thrilling unpredictability, the second is all about high-stakes contests where every match carries significance.
The action begins on Court No. 1 with Iga Świątek facing Liudmila Samsonova. Świątek, rebuilding after a difficult season, was not widely expected to reach this stage, but her adaptability and relentless intensity make her a formidable contender. A win today—though far from guaranteed against an in-form Samsonova—could reinforce her belief that this is her moment.
Meanwhile, 19-year-old Mirra Andreeva, already a polished player with room to grow, meets Belinda Bencic in the first Centre Court match. Andreeva’s confidence in her ability to claim the title, whether now or in the future, has never been stronger.
In the men’s draw, Jannik Sinner returns after narrowly overcoming Grigor Dimitrov in a match where he seemed on the verge of defeat before an unexpected turnaround. The question now is whether that close call shakes his focus or propels him forward with renewed energy. His next opponent, Ben Shelton, presents a contrasting style—unpredictable, charismatic, and far from indifferent about the challenge ahead. This clash of lefty vs. righty could be one of the highlights of the day.
Finally, Flavio Cobolli faces Novak Djokovic. If Djokovic replicates his dominant performances from earlier rounds, Cobolli will have little chance. But if he falters, as he did against Alex de Minaur, Cobolli has the speed, power, and fearless approach to capitalize. While he may not yet believe he can win, he certainly isn’t preparing to lose.
Play begins at 1:00 PM BST on Court No. 1 and 1:30 PM BST on Centre Court.
