The conclusion of Andy Murray’s match against Stefanos Tsitsipas adds to an already stacked schedule on Centre Court on Friday as Wimbledon begins to heat up at the All England Club.
Murray will resume two sets to one up against Tsitsipas, while Novak Djokovic returns to Centre Court with the seven-time Wimbledon champion following arguably his biggest threat this year.
World No.1 Carlos Alcaraz has been gradually adjusting to the grass and looks to be timing his form perfectly.
The Serb takes on two-time grand slam champion Stan Wawrinka, while the Spaniard battles Alexandre Muller. Iga Swiatek, the women’s No.1 seed, is back too and the Polish star faces Petra Martic.
Two more British heroes from Thursday are also back: After Liam Broady’s epic win over Casper Ruud, he’ll take on Denis Shapovalov. Katie Boulter, meanwhile, is back in singles action on Saturday, but she is set to play doubles with her partner Alex De Minaur. Here is Friday’s intended order of play:
