What time is Andy Murray playing at Wimbledon today? TV channel, live stream and opponent details

Andy Murray returns to Wimbledon 2022 action on day three today (Wednesday, June 29) when he faces the big-serving American John Isner on Centre Court.

Two-time champion Murray, 35, has never lost to Isner, who is the 20th seed, but faces a challenging encounter nonetheless.

Here's everything you need to know about Murray's round-two Wimbledon 2022 match:

What time does Andy Murray play at Wimbledon today?

Murray's match against Isner is the third and final match to take place on Centre Court, following Novak Djokovic v Thanasi Kokkinakis and Emma Raducanu v Caroline Garcia. That means Murray's match is unlikely to begin before 7pm, although it could be earlier or later depending on how the prior matches develop.

Who is Andy Murray playing at Wimbledon in round two today?

John Isner is Murray's round-two opponent. America's Isner was in action on court 18 in his opening match of Wimbledon 2022 on Monday, triumphing in a five-set marathon against Enzo Couacaud of France: 6-7 (6-8) 7-6 (7-3) 4-6 6-3 7-5. Completing the match in three hours and 19 minutes, it was a far cry from the infamous court 18 encounter between Isner and Nicolas Mahut back in 2010 which spanned 11 hours, five minutes and three days to become the longest tennis match in history. Isner won the final set - which itself lasted for more than eight hours - by a score of 70-68 and a plaque has since been put up to commemorate what felt like an endless match.

Isner's reward for his five-set win on Monday is a meeting with Murray, who has won all eight of their previous encounters - though the Scotsman has not faced the American since 2016.

"They're obviously very tough players to play against because of the nature of how the matches go," Murray said of facing big-serving players. "You're not necessarily always in control of them.

"You can go four or five service return games where you're not getting any opportunities. There's not always lots of rhythm in the match, so it's difficult. But for whatever reason I've always played well against them. I don't think I've ever played him on grass before, so there will be different challenges. He's played well here before. He was very close to making the final a few years ago - I'll need to play really well and certainly return a bit better than I did if I want to get through that."

What TV channel is Andy Murray's Wimbledon match on today?

The BBC is providing full coverage of Wimbledon, both on TV and via the iPlayer.

Wednesday's day three Wimbledon coverage on the BBC will be broadcast from 10.45am to 1pm and from 1.45pm onwards on BBC One until the 6pm news, with BBC Two showing coverage from 1pm to 7pm.

How did Andy Murray get on in round one?

Murray, the former world number one now ranked 52nd, fought back from a set down to defeat Australia's James Duckworth in four sets in his opening Wimbledon 2022 match on Monday night, finishing under the lights with the roof closed on Centre Court.

He had been suffering with an abdominal injury coming into the Championships but came through his opening match after a slow start to continue his record of never losing in the first round at Wimbledon.
