Wimbledon 2026 Player Predictions: Who Will Play When?
by Luke Walker

Last updated: Saturday 11 July 2026.
Wimbledon 2026 is now at finals weekend. This guide now focuses on the confirmed Day 13 Order of Play, the ladies' final, and the confirmed gentlemen's final line-up for Sunday.
The official Order of Play is confirmed by Wimbledon day by day. Court assignments and match order can still change because of match length, weather, injuries and wider scheduling decisions. Future days should therefore be treated as subject to confirmation until Wimbledon has published the schedule.
Quick guide: who could play when?
Saturday 11 July 2026: Day 13 confirmed Order of Play
Saturday is ladies' singles final day. The Day 13 Centre Court schedule has now been confirmed.
| Court | Start time | Matches |
|---|---|---|
| Centre Court | 1pm | Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten v Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic in the gentlemen's doubles final, followed not before 4pm by Karolina Muchova v Linda Noskova in the ladies' singles final |
For debenture ticket buyers, the key match is the ladies' singles final between Karolina Muchova and Linda Noskova, which is scheduled not before 4pm.
It is an all-Czech final and guarantees a first-time Wimbledon singles champion. Muchova brings experience and variety, while Noskova has been one of the standout younger players of the tournament.
Centre Court ticket holders will also see the gentlemen's doubles final first, with British interest through Henry Patten, who partners Harri Heliovaara against Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic.
Sunday 12 July 2026: gentlemen's final line-up confirmed
Sunday is gentlemen's singles final day. The final line-up is now confirmed:
- Jannik Sinner v Alexander Zverev
The Day 14 Order of Play has not yet been confirmed by Wimbledon, so the exact match time should still be checked against the official schedule.
Sinner reached the final by beating Novak Djokovic in straight sets. Zverev reached the final by ending British wild card Arthur Fery's run, also in straight sets.
From a ticket-demand perspective, Sinner v Zverev is a strong final. Sinner is the defending champion and one of the biggest names in the sport. Zverev arrives as a recent Grand Slam champion and is chasing his first Wimbledon title.

Why some parts are still predictions
The Day 13 schedule is confirmed. The ladies' singles final is Muchova v Noskova and is scheduled not before 4pm on Centre Court.
The Day 14 gentlemen's final line-up is also known: Sinner v Zverev. However, the exact Sunday Order of Play has not yet been confirmed by Wimbledon, so the start time should still be treated as subject to confirmation.
What happened on Thursday 9 July?
Thursday completed the ladies' semi-finals and set up Saturday's final.
Karolina Muchova beat Coco Gauff in a tight three-set semi-final to reach the Wimbledon final. Linda Noskova beat Marta Kostyuk to make it an all-Czech ladies' final.
Gauff's defeat removed the strongest remaining US singles storyline from the ladies' draw, but Muchova v Noskova still gives Saturday a clear final-week story: two Czech players, both chasing a first Wimbledon singles title.
What happened on Friday 10 July?
Friday completed the gentlemen's semi-finals and confirmed Sunday's final.
Alexander Zverev beat Arthur Fery to end the British wild card's run. Fery's tournament remains one of the stories of Wimbledon 2026, but Zverev's experience and power took him through to the final.
Jannik Sinner then beat Novak Djokovic to reach the final. Djokovic's exit means there will be no eighth Wimbledon title for him this year, but Sinner v Zverev still gives Sunday a high-quality final between two major names.
Where the biggest names are now
Karolina Muchova
Muchova is confirmed for the ladies' final on Saturday. She plays Linda Noskova not before 4pm on Centre Court.
Linda Noskova
Noskova is also confirmed for Saturday's ladies' final. She is chasing her first Grand Slam singles title.
Jannik Sinner
Sinner is through to the gentlemen's final after beating Djokovic. He will face Zverev on Sunday.
Alexander Zverev
Zverev is through to the gentlemen's final after beating Fery. He will face Sinner on Sunday.
Novak Djokovic
Djokovic is out after losing to Sinner in the semi-finals. His exit changes the final weekend picture, but Sinner's presence keeps the gentlemen's final as a major global draw.
Arthur Fery
Fery is out after losing to Zverev, but his run to the semi-finals was the main British singles story of Wimbledon 2026.
Coco Gauff
Gauff is out after losing to Muchova in the semi-finals. Her exit removes the strongest US singles draw from the ladies' final.
Final weekend schedule
| Day | Date | Singles stage | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 13 | Saturday 11 July | Ladies' singles final: Muchova v Noskova | Confirmed |
| Day 14 | Sunday 12 July | Gentlemen's singles final: Sinner v Zverev | Line-up confirmed, Order of Play to be confirmed |
Best upcoming days for major names
Best chance to see Muchova or Noskova
Saturday 11 July is confirmed. Muchova v Noskova is the ladies' singles final on Centre Court, scheduled not before 4pm.
Best chance to see Sinner or Zverev
Sunday 12 July is confirmed as the gentlemen's singles final day. Sinner v Zverev is the final, but the exact Order of Play has not yet been published.
What this means for Wimbledon ticket buyers
Saturday is now clear. Centre Court gives buyers the gentlemen's doubles final followed by the ladies' singles final between Muchova and Noskova.
Sunday's gentlemen's final is also set, with Sinner facing Zverev. Sinner's win over Djokovic means the defending champion is still in the tournament, while Zverev has the chance to add Wimbledon to his recent Grand Slam success.
For buyers, the remaining choice is simple: Saturday offers the ladies' final and a guaranteed first-time Wimbledon singles champion. Sunday offers Sinner v Zverev in the gentlemen's final.
Useful timing reminder for debenture ticket holders
Centre Court starts at 1pm on Saturday 11 July. The ladies' singles final is scheduled not before 4pm.
The exact Sunday schedule should be checked once Wimbledon publishes the Day 14 Order of Play.
The Grounds and debenture areas usually open before the main show-court schedule begins. This means Centre Court ticket holders can arrive early, use the debenture facilities and then move to their seats for the start of play.
