Emma Raducanu returns to action on Centre Court today at Wimbledon when she faces the world No 9 Maria Sakkari, while her old junior rival Sonay Kartal, 22, takes on second seed Coco Gauff. Raducanu has produced some of her best tennis for some time and is looking to reach the fourth round of Wimbledon for the second time in her career.
First on Centre Court, Carlos Alcaraz meets Frances Tiafoe, before Jannik Sinner rounds off the day’s play on Centre against Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanovic. Alcaraz and Sinner remain on a collision course for a semi-final clash, but the Spaniard will have to overcome his first major test.
Last night, a tearful Andy Murray was honoured in one of the final moments of his Wimbledon career. The 37-year-old was given a hero’s reception as he began his last appearance alongside his brother Jamie in the men’s doubles but the pair were beaten by Rinky Hijikata and John Peers. Murray still has mixed doubles to come with Raducanu but the All England Club took the opportunity to celebrate his historic career.

Emma Raducanu returns to Centre Court
Raducanu defeated Sakkari on her way to winning the US Open as a wildcard and the Briton is now into the third round of a grand slam for the first time since winning the title in New York following her stunning win over Elise Mertens.
The 21-year-old is keen to play down expectations, however, and says she will be the “underdog” when she takes on the Greek ninth seed on Centre Court. “I’m expecting a really tough match. She’s top-10. It’s going to be a really difficult one,” she said.
“Again, it’s going to be one where I’m the complete underdog and I can just enjoy playing in my home crowd, home slam. I can just keep having fun and trying to stay an extra day.”
