Wimbledon 2025 – Day Three LIVE: Latest score and set-by-set updates as Carlos Alcaraz takes to the centre court and Emma Raducanu takes on former SW19 champion

Huge roar of noise as Carlos Alcaraz and Oliver Tarvet appear on court.

They are currently warming up.

Some insight here from my colleague MATTHEW LAMBWELL on the order of play for Thursday…

The order of play is out for the two big courts tomorrow and again there is something of a snub for Jack Draper, who remains on No1 Court.

Novak Djokovic v Dan Evans is an obvious choice on Centre but the second men’s match, bafflingly, is Jannik Sinner against Aussie journeyman Aleksandar Vukic. Surely the punters with the best ticket in the house would have rather seen the British No1 against former finalist Marin Cilic?

A victorious world No 1 has just spoken on court after defeating Marie Bouzkova…

We’ve played a lot of close matches so I’m pleased to be through this difficult round.

That was a tough moment of the match [going a break down late in the first set]. I was just trying to put the ball back on that side and hope I could break back. Until that point, my serve wasn’t good enough to break.

But I was able to break and I felt a little bit better at that moment, which is why I think I was able to win the tie-break and win in straight sets.

And that is that for Marie Bouzkova as world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka bulldozes her way into round three with a 7-6, 6-4 win.

Not long to wait now until Oliver Tarvet walks out for the match of his life against Carlos Alcaraz…

The British No 3 is celebrating – again – after taking the third set 6-3 against Frances Tiafoe.

Cameron Norrie is now a set away from round three… but it’s not over yet.

Norrie 4-6, 6-4, 6-3, 0-0 Tiafoe*

She is on a bit later but let’s do a check in with the Emma Raducanu camp and how she’s feeling ahead of taking on a former Wimbledon champion today.

Piece here by my colleague MATTHEW LAMBWELL…

Let’s do another check-in of how we stand with so many matches on the go…

Sabalenka* 7-6, 3-2 Bouzkova

Norrie 4-6, 6-4, 3-2 Tiafoe*

Fonseca* 6-4, 5-7, 3-2 Brooksby

Fernandez 2-6, 3-4 Siegmund*

More and more tennis players – and fans for that matter – are becoming increasingly fashionable (I can attest having walked around the grounds and find myself in awe of many, many people).

So, on this train of thought, I thought I’d flag that British star Katie Boulter has teamed up with Amex for a one-off Wimbledon showcase.

Boulter has helped launch a limited-edition Amex Tennis Charm Collection, which are designed to be attached to trainers.

The 10-piece charm collection is expected to prove a huge hit with items including strawberries, the grass court and even the SW19 postcode.

Safe to say the world No 733 is not fearful of playing world No 2 Carlos Alcaraz!

An update from my colleague JOE BERNSTEIN who is out on Court 12 enjoying Fonseca Mania…

Court 12 has turned into the Maracana as Brazilian sensation Joao Fonseca saves two set points.

Plenty of football-style chanting from fans in yellow Brazil tops. Their man still leads by a set with the second heading towards a potential tie-break

British No 3 Cameron Norrie has just punched the air in celebration after clinching the second set against US hotshot Frances Tiafoe.

He looked to be heading to a two-set deficit but rallied back and we have ourselves a ball game folks.

Tiafoe is an extremely tricky customer in round two, but so is Norrie and roared on by a partisan home crowd on No 1 Court, he’s got a foothold.

Norrie 4-6, 6-4 Tiafoe after two sets.

Centre Court crowd are eagerly awaiting the matches involving Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu but I have to say the opening match between Aryna Sabalenka and Maria Bouzkova is proving far more problematic for the world No 1 than first anticipated.

She is currently locked on serve in a first set tie-break.

That one is currently 2-2 in the tiebreak after winning six games apiece.

If John Cena sees this blog… hello.

Kartal has done it and in the process has guaranteed herself £152,000.

Not a bad start to the week…

Let’s bring you some latest scores while we wait for the main events.

A fairly slow burn out on Centre while it’s a mixed bag for the Brits with Cameron Norrie struggling to find a groove versus the ever tricky Frances Tiafoe.

But look at Sonny Kartal go! The Brit is flying against Viktoriya Tomova.

Olivia Rodrigo is incredibly excited to meet John Cena.

I have to say, today’s Royal Box on Centre Court is a real treat.

Current England manager Thomas Tuchel is here, as is a former Three Lions boss in Roy Hodgson.

American music sensation Olivia Rodrigo is here while Nick Jonas and Priyanka Chopra have made the jaunt.

Add to that Dave Grohl, Tom Daley and wrestling icon John Cena and we are being treated good this Wednesday.

Which of these would you most like to meet?!

The pretty much unknown Brit who cannot claim the £99,000 prize money from Wimbledon due to a little known rule is about to go head to head with one of the world’s best players.

Here is all you need to know from TAMARA PRENN…

Hello and welcome to our dedicated live coverage on Day 3 here at the All England Club.

World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka is currently out on court but very soon we will get plucky Brit Oliver Tarvet – who has a fascinating story but more on that later – up against tournament favourite Carlos Alcaraz.

There is also the delights of Emma Raducanu versus a former Wimbledon champion in Marketa Vondrousova.

Between myself and colleague Tamara Prenn we will keep you across everything on Day 3… which started out very wet and windy.
