Iga Swiatek fights back to reach Wimbledon third round

One of the big results from the women’s singles yesterday...

Four-time French Open champion Iga Swiatek avoided joining Wimbledon’s lengthy list of fallen seeds by stylishly battling back to beat world number 208 Caty McNally.

The 24-year-old – a five-time major winner, having also claimed the 2022 US Open title – was in danger of seeing her comparatively woeful SW19 record continue after blowing a 4-1 lead to drop the opening set.

But she responded impressively in the Centre Court sunshine to prevail 5-7 6-2 6-1 in two hours and 25 minutes.

Early break for Pavlyuchenkova!

Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova has secured a break in the second game of set 2, and the Russian is currently 2-0 up!

Osaka takes first set in match against Pavlyuchenkova

Osaka follows that break with a break of her own and will serve to see out the set...

We go to deuce but an absolutely superb ace gives the 27-year-old the advantage and an arguably even better ace follows to wrap up the first set 6-3.

When is Emma Raducanu playing her third round match at Wimbledon?

Emma Raducanu, who missed out on a seeding, leads the British contingent in the women’s draw, having overtaken Katie Boulter as British No 1 recently. And Raducanu has started well, seeing off fellow Briton Mingge Xu then former champion Marketa Vondrousova – four years after beating the Czech at the same stage, in Raducanu’s scintillating debut in SW19.

Next up for Raducanu is a clash with world No 1 Sabalenka, so a tough test awaits.

Match of the day

Emma Raducanu's reward for knocking out 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova was an early meeting with world number one Aryna Sabalenka.

They have played once before, in Indian Wells last spring, when Sabalenka won in straight sets but in a close enough contest to give the British number one encouragement.

Raducanu said: "She's number one in the world for a reason. I'm going to have to be aggressive but pick my moments and not kind of be overly (aggressive).

"I don't think I'm going to go out there and out-power her. I think I'm going to have to try and be creative, as well."

Brit watch today

Emma Raducanu takes on top seed Aryna Sabalenka for a place in the fourth round of a women's draw that has only five top-10 seeds remaining.

Sonay Kartal is back in the third round for the second successive year and starts as favourite against French qualifier Diane Parry, who stunned 12th seed Diana Shnaider to reach this stage.

And Cameron Norrie, the 2022 semi-finalist, will also fancy his chances against world number 73 Mattia Bellucci after the British number three knocked out 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in the second round.

Aleksandar Vukic on Wimbledon exits to Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner

After a defeat to Carlos Alcaraz in 2025, Aussie Aleksandar Vukic exited Wimbledon this year to Jannik Sinner and gave his view on the pair:

“[They] are definitely at least two levels above everyone else. And it's pretty evident.

“Carlos gives you more free points…you can breathe a little bit. Jannik, it’s just suffocating.”

Ben Shelton left furious after ‘unbelievable’ decision to suspend play at Wimbledon due to bad light

Ben Shelton and Rinky Hijikata were left furious after play was suspended late on day four at Wimbledon moments before the American was due to serve for the match.

The second-round contest was approaching a conclusion, despite both players questioning whether the match should continue into the third set with light quickly fading.

The No 10 seed led 6-2, 7-5, 5-4 before the umpire announced on No 2 Court "play is suspended” at 9:29pm BST.

Shelton then raced towards the umpire’s chair, waving his finger to protest at the decision.

Which British tennis players are still playing at Wimbledon?

As is always the case when Wimbledon rolls around, British fans have their eyes on the home favourites bidding for glory in London.

Andy Murray ended a 77-year wait for a home champion at the grass-court grand slam in 2013, before replicating his triumph in 2016, but there have been no British winners in the singles draw since – on either the men’s or women’s side.

A look at Emma Raducanu’s second-round win

In the last round, Raducanu did what she did at the same stage in 2021: beat Marketa Vondrousova to advance.

In fact, Vondrousova went on to become the champion in 2023, after her loss in Raducanu’s debut run at the All England Club.

Does a Wimbledon title lie in Raducanu’s future? Here’s why we should forget the expectations and focus on the enjoyment:

It’s not just the Brits who have been falling, however; top seeds have, too.

No ‘miracle pills’ required as flawless Novak Djokovic lays down title marker

Also yesterday, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic made light work of Britain’s Dan Evans to stake his claim as a potential victor this fortnight.

Jack Draper upholds the torturous tradition of a British Wimbledon hopeful

The biggest result yesterday, arguably, was men’s world No 4 – and British No 1 – Jack Draper losing in round two.

Here’s how Marin Cilic, a former runner-up at Wimbledon, introduced the 23-year-old to the torturous tradition of heartbreak at the grass-court major:

Welcome to Wimbledon 2025 day five

It’s day five of Wimbledon 2025, and there’s another packed schedule ahead with Emma Raducanu, Carlos Alcaraz, Cam Norrie and Aryna Sabalenka in action.

Raducanu, in fact, takes on Sabalenka in the final match on Centre Court today, as the young Briton and the world No 1 vie for a spot in the fourth round. Before that, on the same court, Alcaraz continues his bid for a third straight title in SW19, facing Jan-Lennard Struff.

Elsewhere, Cam Norrie is the last Briton standing in the men’s draw, and he’ll try to overcome Mattia Bellucci on No 1 Court. That will be after Sonay Kartal goes up against Diane Parry, with Kartal aiming to do the home crowd proud.

Naomi Osaka, Taylor Fritz and Madison Keys are among the other big names in action, and all will hope to emulate the likes of Novak Djokovic, Iga Swiatek and Barbora Krejcikova – three key players who advanced on Thursday.

Djokovic progressed at the expense of Britain’s Dan Evans, whose compatriot Jack Draper was the leading prospect for the home crop until he fell to former runner-up Marin Cilic.
