In Summary

Two of the biggest contenders for the men’s title will be appearing on Centre Court as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner return to the grass

The halfway point of the 2025 Championships at Wimbledon is here with Saturday seeing the third-round action in both the men’s and women’s singles conclude at the All England Lawn Tennis Club.

Two of the biggest contenders for the men’s title will be appearing on Centre Court as Novak Djokovic and Jannik Sinner return to the grass. Fresh off a demolition of British hope Dan Evans, Djokovic is the headline act on Centre, taking on fellow Serb Miomir Kecmanovic in prime-time on Saturday evening.

Meanwhile, top seed Sinner will be first up against Spain’s Pedro Martinez, having almost gone under the radar with easy straight-set wins over Luca Nardi and Aleksandar Vukic so far.

In the women’s draw, which has been blown wide open with the early exits of top seeds Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Xheng and Madison Keys, things appear to be opening up for Iga Swiatek.

Perhaps the clay-court queen is enjoying the slower conditions on the SW19 grass this year as she navigates her way through the draw and she’ll have another test against Danielle Collins of the USA on Saturday afternoon.

Seventh seed Mirra Andreeva is also in action, while last year’s surprise champion Barbora Krejcikova faces a huge test in her title defence with 10th seed Emma Navarro her opponent in the middle match on No 1 Court.
