The Dan Evans vs Novak Djokovic live stream in the second round of Wimbledon 2025 will be a fascinating contest. Below we have all the information on how to watch the coverage from anywhere – including FREE Wimbledon streams on BBC iPlayer.

These are the occasions that 35-year-old Evans lives for. The Brummie has been circling around retirement for a while after 18 months in the doldrums but the former world No.21 was never going to miss out on a chance to play his home tournament. Something of a throwback, the pint-sized Evans will deploy his full array of slices and mix up of pace to try to throw Djokovic off his rhythm and keep the ball low. He also has the knowledge that he beat the Serbian in the pair's only previous meeting, on the clay at Monte Carlo in 2021.

Djokovic also loves the occasions. Never happier than when playing the bad guy, the 38-year-old will relish having the Centre Court crowd against him and will use that as fuel to light his fire. Djokovic overcame a stomach bug to beat Alexandre Muller in four sets in the first round and will see Wimbledon has perhaps his best chance of overtaking Margaret Court for a record 25 grand slam singles titles. Expect fireworks, especially if the Serbian doesn't think he's getting enough respect from the crowd.
