Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu both play their third-round singles matches on Friday with Wimbledon’s order of play confirmed for day five.
British No.1 Raducanu is aiming to reach the last 16 for the second year in a row but must battle past top-seed Aryna Sabalenka in order to progress.
The Raducanu vs Sabalenka showdown will be played on Centre Court after Carlos Alcaraz takes on Jan-Lennard Struff in the men’s singles.
Scroll down for the estimated start times for both matches as well as the full schedule for Friday, July 4 at the All England Club…
What time is Carlos Alcaraz’s match?
Alcaraz vs Struff is the second scheduled match of the day on Centre Court after Taylor Fritz’s clash with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Fritz vs Davidovich Fokina gets started at 1.30pm UK time and a best of five sets men’s singles match can last anywhere from two hours and 45 minutes to five hours.
Given that both of Fritz’s matches at Wimbledon this year have gone to five sets, we could be set for another marathon in the Centre Court opener.
It’s hard to give an exact prediction – but you can expect Alcaraz vs Struff to get underway around 5.30pm.
What time is Emma Raducanu’s match?
Raducanu vs Sabalenka gets underway once Alcaraz vs Struff has concluded.
Alcaraz, as the favourite in the men’s singles, is expected to win in straight sets and it’s likely that his match won’t last as long as the opening clash.
If Alcaraz wraps things up relatively quickly, then Raducanu vs Sabalenka could get started around 8pm.
