Wimbledon reschedules Arthur Fery’s planned semi-final to prevent a scheduling conflict with the World Cup. Across reports, Djokovic’s anticipated Wimbledon semi-final against defending champion Jannik Sinner was originally expected to be set as the first semi-final. However, after the semi-final order is adjusted, the event is arranged so that the relevant matches do not coincide with World Cup fixtures. The coverage indicates the change is driven by broadcaster and tournament scheduling considerations linked to the World Cup timetable. While the reports focus on the shift in the semi-final running order, they do not dispute the matchups involved, instead emphasizing that the scheduling is altered to avoid overlap. The rescheduling means Arthur Fery’s Wimbledon semi-final takes place at a different time than initially expected, and Djokovic’s semi-final versus Sinner will not be the opening semi-final as previously planned. The adjustment reflects Wimbledon’s efforts to coordinate major tennis programming around other global sporting events.
