Emma Raducanu, the 21-year-old tennis star from Romania, is set to face off against Maria Sakkari in a rematch of their US Open semi-final from three years ago. The two players will compete for a spot in the Wimbledon last-16. Despite her previous success at the US Open and her victory at Wimbledon last year, Raducanu is downplaying expectations and sees herself as the underdog against the Greek ninth seed on Centre Court.
Raducanu’s match against Sakkari is scheduled to be the second match of the day on Centre Court on Friday, starting at 1:30pm. However, depending on the outcome of the first match between Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe, Raducanu’s match may be delayed. If this happens, fans can expect Raducanu to take the court around 5pm, but timing may vary slightly.
Viewers in the UK can catch all the Wimbledon action on BBC One and BBC Two, with additional coverage available on BBC iPlayer and BBC Sport website. Live coverage will start at 11:00am from Centre Court until 6:00pm when live coverage will shift to outside courts for more exciting matches throughout the day.
