When is Carlos Alcaraz playing his third round match at Wimbledon?

Defending champion Alcaraz takes Jan-Lennard Struff next

The 2025 Championships at Wimbledon are upon us as the All England Club opens its doors to the tennis world once again.

Carlos Alcaraz is eyeing a third consecutive title in SW19, and is also looking to become the second player to win Roland Garros, Queen’s and Wimbledon in the same year.

World No 1 Jannik Sinner and British No 1 Jack Draper are the other favourites in the men’s draw, but Alcaraz is already through to round three, thanks to a five-set win over Fabio Fognini and straight-sets dismissal of Britain’s Oliver Tarvet.

World No 1 Aryna Sabalenka is the favourite for the women’s title, with 2022 champion Elena Rybakina also a leading contender after French Open winner Coco Gauff crashed out in round one. Czech player Barbora Krejcikova is the defending champion.

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. Both won their first round matches on Monday, but only Raducanu reached round three, having beaten ex-champ Marketa Vondrousova.
