The middle weekend of the 2025 Championships at Wimbledon is approaching with Friday seeing the start of third-round action in both the men’s and women’s singles at the All England Club
The women’s draw has been blown wide open with the early exits of top seeds Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini and Qinwen Xheng but No 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka is still going strong and faces GB’s best hope Emma Raducanu in a mouth-watering final clash of the day on Centre Court.
Raducanu will be the underdog, hoping to spring a shock, while fellow Brit Sonay Kartal will fancy her chances of getting past France’s Diane Parry and reaching the second week of a grand slam for the first time when they play as the first match on No 1 Court.
On the men’s side, GB’s Cameron Norrie flies the flag against Mattia Bellucci in the match that follows Kartal v Parry, while two-time reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz and fifth seed Taylor Fritz are also among the clashes on Centre.
Here is the order of play for day five at Wimbledon:
