Wimbledon 2026: When is Sinner playing? Schedule, times, and (larger) prize money.

Jannik Sinner warms up the engines in view of the debut of Monday 29 June on the ventral field of Wimbledon 2026 against Myomir Kecmanovic, always beaten in the four previous matches. The goal? To immediately turn the page after the Roland Garros stoppage to chase the first Slam of 2026 and, above all, defend the title he won a year ago at Wimbledon. For the betting analysts at "888sport", as reported by Agipronews, the world number one starts as the favourite: the second consecutive triumph at the All England Club is in fact played at 1,50A confirmation that rises to 9,00 on Snai in the event of a “victory without losing a set”, a feat that hasn't been achieved on London courts for nine years, when Roger Federer achieved it.

Wimbledon 2026: When is Sinner playing?

The blue will take to the field at 14.30 Italian (13.30pm local time). His match, like the entire Wimbledon tournament, will be visible on television on Sky SportsThe broadcaster will dedicate six channels to the Championships, which will also be available for streaming on Now TV.

Wimbledon 2026: the prize money

It must be said that the prize money at Wimbledon this year is record-breaking. The All England Club has officially announced total prize money of 64,2 million pounds (approximately 75 million euros), with a 20% increase compared to the previous edition. The winner of the men's and women's singles will therefore receive 3,6 million pounds, equivalent to almost 4,2 million eurosA figure far higher than that expected for the winner of Roland Garros, where the highest prize was 2,8 million euros, and which places Wimbledon at the top of the Olympus of the richest sporting events in the world.

Wimbledon 2026: the challenges

The most accredited rival for Sinner remains Novak Djokovic, chasing his eighth victory in London and the 25th Slam of his career: the Serbian's success is set at 7,50. The third step of the bookmakers' board is placed Alexander Zverev At 9,00, fresh from winning his first Major in Paris but historically underperforming on British grass, where he has never advanced beyond the round of 16. The other contenders are further behind: Jakub Mensik, fresh from his first Slam semi-final, is worth 20 times the stake, followed at 25,00 by Daniil Medvedev (semi-finalist in the last two editions) and from Taylor FritzThe latter, twelve months ago, saw the final slip away at the hands of Carlos Alcaraz, the great absentee of this edition due to injury.

Spotlight also on Matteo Berrettini, who before his injury had reached the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam tournament in France. The Roman returns to his "backyard," where he reached the historic final five years ago, and his victory is at odds of 40,00. Just behind Flavio Cobolli, at 66,00, after last year's quarter-finals and the recent Slam final lost only in the fifth set against Zverev.
