The Djokovic vs Shapovalov live stream is scheduled to start today (July 9) at 10:30 a.m. ET / 7:30 a.m. PT / 3:30 p.m. PT.
In the U.S., Wimbledon is split between ESPN and the Tennis Channel, and you can get both via Sling TV Orange with Sports Extra. Sling starts as low as $10 for the first month thanks to a current sale. Both networks are included with Fubo (7-day free trial).
In the U.K., it's free with BBC iPlayer, but Brits traveling abroad will need a VPN such as Express VPN to watch like they're back home.
It's almost time for the Novak Djokovic vs Denis Shapovalov live stream, and it's hard to see this going to the latter. Maybe you have gotten good odds, or think you know what you're doing, but anyone betting against Djokovic should truly rethink their life choices. Analysts are saying his biggest foe is himself, though, so who knows what that means about the odds of Djokovic not taking this tournament.
So far, in his first five 2021 Wimbledon live streams, the World's No. 1-ranked men's tennis player has only given up one set. And that set? Well, it was the first of the entire tournament, so he's played and won the following 15 sets.
And he only had one tie-breaker, in the third-round against Denis Kudla. All the while the rankings of Djokovic's opponents have been rising, and that's happening again. On Wednesday, July 7, Djokovic beat the 48th-ranked Marton Fucsovics, and on Thursday he faces Denis Shapovalov — the 12th ranked player in the world.
Cristian Garin, the world's No. 20 ranked men's singles tennis player, fell before Fucsovics, and the opponents before him were much lower-ranked. Will Djokovic dispatch Shapovalov in similar speed?
Djokovic's beaten Shapovalov in all six of their matchups over the last three years, but this is their first match at Wimbledon. Previously, Shapovalov only won two sets: one at the 2020 ATP Cup in Australia and the other at the 2019 Australian Open. The other 13 sets? All Djokovic.

Shapovalov's Wimbledon path had some clear wins, but it isn't exactly as smooth as Djokovic's. While he beat Andy Murray and Roberto Bautista Agut in three sets a piece, he needed all five to survive his quarter-final match against Karen Khachanov and his first-round match against Philipp Kohlschreiber.
Shapovalov also got a second-round bye, when Pablo Andujar exited before the match started, due to a rib injury.
