Wimbledon, today’s program Saturday 2 July

For the blue, an unprecedented and intriguing challenge with Rafa to reach the second week. The Australian and the Greek promise a show in the evening on Field 1

Lorenzo Sonego will return to breathe the immaculate air of Wimbledon Center Court, one year after that round of 16 match with Roger Federer who marked his best result at the Grand Slam level and at the Championships. On Saturday 2 July, on the occasion of the third round matches of the lower part of the board, the Italian will in fact challenge Rafa Nadal to try to match what he had done in the last edition.

The Central

The young stars and stripes tennis stars Coco Gauff and Amanda Anisimova will open the programming of the Central Court at 2.30 pm, followed by another match of the women’s draw that will see opposite the Spanish Paula Badosa (n.4 of the seeding) and the two-time London champion Petra Kvitova. The grand finale will then be the one already announced between Lorenzo Sonego and Rafa Nadal, who will compete for the first time in their careers. In his last 15 appearances in the Majors, the Majorcan has reached at least the quarter-finals and with victories in Australia and Paris is currently in the running for the Grand Slam. For Sonego, in case of victory, it would be the third presence in the second week of a Grand Slam.

On field number 1 we start at 2:00 pm, with three matches scheduled just like on the main pitch. To open the dance will be the Australian Alex De Minaur and the home player Liam Broady, followed by the unstoppable queen of the WTA circuit Iga Swiatek (in a winning streak of 37 games) and the French Alizé Cornet. Finally, do not miss the opposites that attract: Nick Kyrgios and Stefanos Tsitsipas, engaged at the end of the day in their fifth ever confrontation, the second on grass after the recent round of 16 in Halle in which the Australian bad boy won. . Nick’s also the record in the previous, which leads 3-1. Will composure and the Greek canon be able to prevail this time?
