Wimbledon 2025: Sinner, Djokovic and Swiatek in action on middle Saturday – live | Wimbledon 2025
Key events
Despite Raducanu’s exit, there remains home interest in the women’s draw after Sonay Kartal’s impressive form continued yesterday with a straight-sets win against Diane Parry.
She’ll face Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the fourth round tomorrow but is in action again today, teaming up with Jodie Burrage in the doubles. The British pair are second up on Court 16 against the 11th seeds, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Laura Siegmund, in round two.
If you missed the sporting theatre of Aryna Sabalenka against Emma Raducanu on Centre Court last night, with the British No 1 giving the tournament favourite a run for her money, then Jonathan Liew was there to capture the moment
Preamble
Hello and welcome to middle Saturday at Wimbledon, where the third round of the men’s and women’s singles draws enters its second day. We’ll have Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek and the like all on court as the day progresses. As an SW19 native I can confirm that the weather has been overcast and pretty blustery with a bit of drizzle in the air. Nonetheless, the queue was already snaking right across Wimbledon Park early this morning on what is traditionally the busiest day of the championships.
The world No 1, Jannik Sinner, gets us under way on Centre against Spain’s Pedro Martínez, while teenage sensation Mirra Andreeva opens up on No 1 Court against Hailey Baptiste of the United States.
