Wimbledon 2025 live: Novak Djokovic credits ‘miracle pills’ for win, Sonay Kartal first Briton on court

LIVE – Updated at 10:09

It’s day three at Wimbledon 2025 and a packed schedule awaits, with a raft of British players in action including Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter, as well as Carlos Alcaraz, Naomi Osaka and a host of other big names.

The first Britons on court today are Sonay Kartal, facing Bulgaria's Viktoriya Tomova, and Billy Harris, up against Portuguese No 1 Nuno Borges. British qualifier Oliver Tarvet faces Alcaraz in the match of his life on Centre Court, while Cameron Norrie takes on American Frances Tiafoe on Court One. Raducanu meanwhile faces a huge test against the former Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova.

Yesterday Jack Draper cruised through to the second round, but Heather Watson and Jodie Burrage were early casualties among the home prospects. There were more dramatic exits in the women’s draw, however, when third seed Jessica Pegula and fifth seed Zheng Qinwen were eliminated, before French Open champion Coco Gauff lost to Dayana Yastremska in the final match on Court One.

The men’s No 3 seed Alexander Zverev suffered a shock defeat to France’s Arthur Rinderknech but top seed Jannik Sinner swept past Italian Luca Nardi. Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic saw off the stout challenge of Alexandre Muller to make his way into the next round, crediting “miracle pills” for his turnaround.

There are a couple of British players on Court One today, too. Cameron Norrie – a Wimbledon semi-finalist in 2022 – faces American 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in a tough test, before British No 2 Katie Boulter meets Argentina’s Solana Sierra.

The day is rounded off with USA v Canada as fifth seed Taylor Fritz faces Canada’s Gabriel Diallo. I spoke with a member of Diallo’s coaching team this week and they have high hopes for the 23-year-old on the back of a breakout year, in which he won on grass at ‘s-Hertogenbosch last month.

Today’s Centre Court action kicks off with world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka, who is looking increasingly prominent in the women’s draw after a number of high seeds were knocked out yesterday, not least her French Open final conquerer Coco Gauff.

Then comes perhaps the most highly anticipated match of the day, as British qualifier Oliver Tarvet meets the great Carlos Alcaraz. Can the 21-year-old university student pull off a mircale win?

Emma Raducanu wraps up proceedings on Centre against 2023 Wimbledon winner Marketa Vondrousova: two one-time grand-slam champions looking to recapture their very best form.
