Wimbledon day 5 order of play: What time do Carlos Alcaraz & Emma Raducanu play?
British No.1 Raducanu is aiming to reach the last 16 for the second year in a row but must battle past top-seed Aryna Sabalenka in order to progress.
The Raducanu vs Sabalenka showdown will be played on Centre Court after Carlos Alcaraz takes on Jan-Lennard Struff in the men's singles.
Scroll down for the estimated start times for both matches as well as the full schedule for Friday, July 4 at the All England Club…
Alcaraz vs Struff is the second scheduled match of the day on Centre Court after Taylor Fritz's clash with Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Fritz vs Davidovich Fokina gets started at 1.30pm UK time and a best of five sets men's singles match can last anywhere from two hours and 45 minutes to five hours.
Given that both of Fritz's matches at Wimbledon this year have gone to five sets, we could be set for another marathon in the Centre Court opener.
It's hard to give an exact prediction – but you can expect Alcaraz vs Struff to get underway around 5.30pm.
Raducanu vs Sabalenka gets underway once Alcaraz vs Struff has concluded.
Alcaraz, as the favourite in the men's singles, is expected to win in straight sets and it's likely that his match won't last as long as the opening clash. More Trending

Can Emma Raducanu continue her red-hot form and upset No 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka at Wimbledon today? The Brit is a 3/1 outsider with Sky Bet
Emma Raducanu has been in some of the best form of her career at Wimbledon - with the Brit winning her opening two matches at Wimbledon in dominant fashion. She particularly impressed last time out en route to a 6-3, 6-3 victory over 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova. It gets all the more difficult for Raducanu in the third round however - as she goes head-to-head with No 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka. Sabalenka has also been impressive through two matches at the All England Club - with the Belarusian winning both in straight sets. And she is tipped to continue her winning ways when looking at the betting lines, with the three-time major winner an odds-on favourite 1/4. Conversely, if you're tipping Raducanu to cause yet another upset and progress to the fourth round - she is a 3/1 outsider to do so according to Sky Bet. Sky Bet odds for Aryna Sabalenka vs Emma Raducanu: Aryna Sabalenka 1/4 Emma Raducanu 3/1

Luke Cowan-Dickie backs Lions call-up for ‘class player' Owen Farrell
Luke Cowan-Dickie declared 'you don't lose class' as he welcomed Owen Farrell's bombshell call-up by the British and Irish Lions. Farrell will arrive in Sydney on Friday after being summoned by the Lions as a replacement for Elliot Daly, who has returned home because of a fractured forearm just as he was playing his way into the Test team. Andy Farrell's decision to turn to his 33-year-old son is controversial given his last England appearance was almost two years ago and he was limited to just 17 games for Racing 92 last season because of groin surgery and concussion. Ready for his fourth Lions Tour 🦁 Enter, @owen_faz … #Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 3, 2025 However, England's record points scorer and captain from 2018 to 2023 brings with him vast experience, including from three previous Lions tours, and he is the only player in the squad who was involved in the triumphant tour to Australia in 2013. Cowan-Dickie believes his CV makes him a valuable addition as the Lions continue their build-up to the first Test against the Wallabies on July 19. 'You don't lose class. Faz is a class player, so I'm well happy,' said Cowan-Dickie, who starts Saturday's match against the New South Wales Waratahs in Sydney. 'When it was announced internally, the reaction was good. Faz is a well-known player. He's played quality rugby over many years. 'One thing about Faz is the standards he sets on the training field. He's got bit of an aura about him on training fields, which makes you want to try and train to perfection. 'I know it's quite hard to perfect training every single day, but he definitely makes standards higher. 'He's a good team man. Even though he might not be involved one week he stays the same in training and the standards he wants to set.' Farrell has not played since he was concussed against Lyon on May 4 and he must get up to speed as quickly as possible if he is to make an impact on the playing field Down Under. Tadhg Beirne, who has been named captain against the Waratahs at Allianz Stadium, played with Farrell during the 2021 Lions tour to South Africa. 'Owen bring some serious quality. We're looking forward to him coming into the squad and getting to hang out with him,' Beirne said. 'Any type of leadership is only going to enhance the squad. Playing with him four years ago, I've seen all those leadership qualities that he brings. 'There's the quality of his talent as well, which will do nothing but boost the squad.'

Portuguese player pays tribute to Diogo Jota during Wimbledon doubles match
Cabral, the world number 40 in men's doubles, was seen with the ribbon on his shirt sleeve during his second-round defeat on Friday, after the All England Club relaxed its strict all-white dress code to allow tributes to the Liverpool forward. Jota, 28, and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain on Thursday while travelling to catch a ferry to the UK ahead of pre-season. Cabral said he was driving to Wimbledon when he heard the news, describing the footballer as 'an idol, such an icon, such a good person' in Portugal. 'I just wish all the best for his family,' he added. 'He's very inspiring for me.' Liverpool fan and British doubles player Neal Skupski had also brought a black armband for his match on Thursday but opted not to wear it. The 25-year-old then found out about the death of his grandmother shortly after coming off court of his first-round win alongside fellow Briton Joe Salisbury. Skupski suggested he may wear one later in the tournament, saying: 'Maybe in the next couple of days.'
