Wimbledon 2022 men’s singles semi-final: Novak Djokovic v Cameron Norrie – live!

Afternoon everyone. And what a glorious day it is for the men’s semi-finals. But alas we have only one to enjoy today as Rafa Nadal’s injury has deprived us of a tantalising showdown with Nick Kyrgios, who advances to his first grand slam final amid all the clouds surrounding him off-court. Kyrgios has wished Nadal well.

All of which leaves us focusing on the intriguing match-up between Britain’s Cameron Norrie, also enjoying a best-ever grand slam run, and Novak Djokovic, whose best-ever grand slam runs have brought him a trifling 20 titles. Both players went through gruelling five-setters in their quarter-finals, and Djokovic’s winning experience of such matches obviously makes him clear favourite, but Jannik Sinner exposed chinks on Tuesday and Norrie showed his own reserves of competitive courage.

He’ll have the crowd’s backing too, Centre Court having taken to Norrie more and more as the fortnight has progressed although Djokovic, for all his controversies over the past couple of years, has been largely warmly received at SW19 this year.

They’ll be on court around 3.30pm BST but we’ll have buildup and news from the other courts before then. So stick around.
