At the grand old age of 39, Federer is the oldest man to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon in more than 45 years, and has recovered from a shaky start to dispatch Richard Gasquet and home-country hero Cameron Norrie in relative comfort. A ninth Wimbledon crown may still feel a long way off, but Federer is now looking as elegant as ever. Will the GOAT be able to keep it up?

His opponent across the net today was only eight-years-old when Federer won his first title at SW19 and the 23rd seed has had a reasonably trouble-free time getting to his first ever last 16 at Wimbledon himself. With only one dropped set against his name and a dominant straight-sets victory against Aussie James Duckworth on Saturday, Sonego will be focussed on a colossal Centre Court upset today.

It's the third match on Centre Court today, so the start time depends on how long it takes Novak Djokovic to ~~beat~~ play Cristian Garín and then a potential classic between Coco Gauff and Angelique Kerber - you're probably looking around 5pm BST. Watch all the drama unfold as it happens by following our Federer vs Sonego live stream guide to watch Wimbledon 2021 tennis online today.

How to watch a Federer vs Sonego live stream from outside your country

If you're abroad during Wimbledon, you'll likely find you're unable to access your domestic tennis coverage like you would at home. This isn't necessarily cause for alarm, but rather the result of geo-blocking - best understood as digital borders that restrict certain services and content to certain parts of the world.

Fortunately, there's a convenient way around this in the form of a VPN. This is a nifty bit of software that lets you swerve around these digital borders, thereby allowing you to globe trot and still access your preferred Federer vs Sonego live stream. It's a completely legal workaround, very affordable, and super easy to use - allow us to explain more.
