Wimbledon 2025 order of play: Day seven schedule with Sonay Kartal, Cameron Norrie and Carlos Alcaraz in action

Independent2 days ago
The end of the first week at Wimbledon sees defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz back on Centre Court.
While British hopes are dwindling, Sonay Kartal and Cameron Norrie provide optimism on Sunday for home interest to last into the second week.
Norrie, benefitting from many seeds crashing out early, takes on the hard-hitting Chilean Nicolas Jarry on his preferred No 1 Court after another superb win over Mattia Bellucci on Friday, while Kartal opens up Centre against Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova after her fine win over Diane Parry.
Alcaraz has been sluggish at times during the first week, but Andrey Rublev offers a stiff examination here, with a softer draw offering up the winner of Jarry v Norrie and then, perhaps, Taylor Fritz in the semi-finals. Here is the order of play for day seven at Wimbledon:
Day seven order of play - Sunday 6 July
(all courts 11am BST start unless stated)
Centre Court - 1.30pm
1 Sonay Kartal (GBR) 55 vs Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova 59
2 Aryna Sabalenka [1] 1 vs Elise Mertens (BEL) [24] 9
3 Andrey Rublev [14] 113 vs Carlos Alcaraz (ESP) [2] 128
No.1 Court - 1:00pm
1 Taylor Fritz (USA) [5] 65 vs Jordan Thompson (AUS) 78
2 Nicolas Jarry (CHI) 98 vs Cameron Norrie (GBR) 109
3 Linda Noskova (CZE) [30] 40 vs Amanda Anisimova (USA) [13] 48

Nick Kyrgios reveals stunning plan to hold 'battle of the sexes' tennis match against world No.1 Aryna Sabalenka

Nick Kyrgios has revealed he and three-time Grand Slam champion Aryna Sabalenka are planning to stage a battle of the sexes exhibition match this year - with two major rule changes to make the clash more difficult for him. Kyrgios, a Wimbledon men's singles finalist and outspoken commentator, has left fans buzzing about his plans to take on the world No.1 female player. 'Sabalenka and I are thinking about doing a battle of the sexes later in the year,' he told Talk Sport. 'Where the court is going to be slightly smaller [at Sabalenka's end], for me with one serve... 'I'm playing on a slightly smaller than the usual tennis court.' The Australian said the match, inspired by 1973's infamous 'battle of the sexes' tennis match between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs, will likely take place in Hong Kong later in the year. 'I'm really nervous about it, to be honest, she's in her absolute prime right now,' he said. 'And she's getting the wooden legs [version] of me - but I'm still feeling confident that I can get her. 'I think I've still got enough variation and talent in the tank to take Sabalenka, but she's fierce and I'm feeling nerves right now.' The original 'battle of the sexes' match in 1973, was one of biggest media events of its day and King's impressive victory was widely credited with striking an impressive blow for the women's liberation movement. Despite being 55 at the time, retired tennis champ Bobby Riggs was expected to comfortably beat Billie Jean King, then 29 and the world's No. 2 female player. Four months earlier, Riggs had easily dispatched with the women's No. 1 Margaret Court. Instead, Riggs lost 6-4, 6-3, 6-3 to King before a stunned audience of 30,472 fans at the Houston Astrodome. It's still the largest crowd in to ever attend a tennis match in the USA and millions more were watching on TV. The outcome has repeatedly been dogged by claims it was fixed or the result was thrown, something Riggs repeatedly denied until his death in 1995. Sabalenka, 27, is an intense competitor and one of the most expressive players in the game. But Kyrgios says she is very different off the court. 'When she is on the court she is incredibly intense, she is fierce, she has a big game. She is almost scary,' he said. 'But off the court she is gentle. She came on my podcast and I really got to know and connect with her at a human level and she is really funny, she is nice and she was telling me that she wanted to change that perception.

Mirra Andreeva oblivious to the fact she'd won after swatting aside Emma Navarro

The Russian teenager became the youngest woman to reach the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 18 years by breezing through round four with a rapid 6-2 6-3 win over world number 10 Emma Navarro. But an unaware Andreeva was so focused on her performance – and trying not to look at Roger Federer in the Royal Box – she lined up to face another Navarro serve, rather than celebrate converting match point. Marvellous Mirra 🤩 The 18-year-old shines on her Centre Court debut, booking a place in the #Wimbledon QF — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 7, 2025 With her American opponent waiting at the net to shake hands, the 18-year-old briefly looked bemused before jogging in from the baseline, to the amusement of spectators. Andreeva laughed off the incident in her on-court interview, saying: 'I kept telling myself I'm not the one who is up on the score, I am the one who is down. 'That helped me to stay focused and in the end I completely forgot the score. 'I'm happy that I did it because I think I would have been three times more nervous on a match point.' Aside from the humorous mix-up, Andreeva suffered no hiccups as she emphatically stayed on course to emulate coach Conchita Martinez – the 1994 Wimbledon champion. She blitzed Navarro to clinch the opening set in just 33 minutes and, despite being broken twice in the second, was not unduly troubled. Aged 18 years and 75 days, Andreeva is exactly the same age as Czech player Nicole Vaidisova was when she progressed to the last eight in 2007. 'It is something crazy,' she said, after setting up a meeting with Belinda Bencic with victory in 75 minutes. 'I was super nervous before playing for the first time on Centre Court. 'I really tried my best not to look over there in the box because I knew as soon as I would look there I would completely lose my focus. "It's been one of my dreams to see you in real life." 🫶 Mirra Andreeva kept her nerve playing on Centre Court in front of Roger Federer #Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 7, 2025 'I saw Roger and (his wife) Mirka and it means a lot that you came and watched my match. It has been one of my dreams to see you in real life.' Earlier, Bencic blew five match points on her own serve before bouncing back to reach the quarter-finals for the first time. The 2021 Olympic champion also saved three break points in a captivating ninth game of the second set against Ekaterina Alexandrova. Russian 18th seed Alexandrova eventually broke to prolong the Court One contest but Bencic responded immediately to progress 7-6 (4) 6-4. 'For you guys it was entertaining but for me it was a big stress,' Bencic said on court. 'It was a difficult moment. 'I always got stuck in the fourth round. It was so important for me to breakthrough to the quarter-finals. It's a dream come true.' Bencic's best run in SW19 comes after she missed last year's Championships due to the birth of daughter Bella in April 2024. 'We did an amazing job coming back,' said the 28-year-old Swiss player. 'It's amazing to share the memories together as a family. I'm enjoying it more. I juggle it like every mum does.' Five-time grand slam champion Iga Swiatek cruised through to her second Wimbledon quarter-final. Super Swiatek 🇵🇱 The No.8 seed sails through to the QF, beating Clara Tauson 6-4, 6-1#Wimbledon — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) July 7, 2025 The Polish world number four began with successive double faults before defeating Danish 23rd seed Clara Tauson 6-4 6-1. 'Even though the beginning was pretty shaky with the double faults, I managed to play well and solid,' she said. 'I'm not sure if Clara felt well, she said at night she was sick so hopefully she's going to have a fast recovery. 'It's the first time I enjoyed London – sorry guys, I always loved it! We're tennis players. We feel well off the court when we feel well on the court. 'This year I feel I can just play my game and hopefully it's going to last as long as possible.' Russian world number 19 Liudmila Samsonova awaits Swiatek after she beat unseeded 22-year-old Spaniard Jessica Bouzas Maneiro 7-5 7-5.

EXCLUSIVE Diogo Jota's legacy to his family: The amount set to be inherited by tragic Liverpool star's wife and their three small children after his car crash death

Tragic footballer Diogo Jota 's widow could stand to inherit up to £35million from his estate for the financial security of her and their three children, MailOnline can reveal. The Liverpool star, 28, who died alongside his brother Andre, 25, in a crash last week in Spain, has been signed with Premier League clubs since 2018 - and amassed a fortune in that time. Jota first signed a contract with Wolverhampton Wanderers in 2018 which saw him earn £38,000 a week. Two years of these wages saw him earn £3,952,000 before he hit the big time with a move to Anfield, where the first two years of his four year contract at £83,000 per week saw him pocket another £8,632,000. As a result of his phenomenal talent, Liverpool then extended the deal for five years in 2022 and upped his wages to £140,000 in a contract that saw him earn £21,840,000 before his tragic death. Built into this was performance bonuses, and his 65 goals in 182 games contributed to his wealth. However, he was also an Esports entrepreneur and global brand ambassador. Jota was due to receive another £14.5million for the remaining two years of his contract, which despite reports in Portuguese media suggesting Liverpool will honour, has not yet been confirmed. It means Jota's total earnings of around £34.4million since arriving in the Premier League could be inherited by Rute and their two sons Dinis, four, Duarte, two, and their eight-month-old baby daughter Mafalda. It is not known how much of this money he had spent, but a chunk of it had been invested in a five-bedroom, four-bathroom house in the upmarket north Liverpool suburb of Blundellsands. According to publicly available land registry documents, Jota and his wife bought the house in May 2022 for £2,125,000, where they rubbed shoulders with other players. The house had been listed for three years before selling and had been previously rented out. A brochure of the house available online shows an ornately tiled marble entrance hall leading to a reception area with a brass and wrought iron staircase. The ground floor living area has Georgian style double doors, underfloor heating and a Bose sound system. In the kitchen there are two sink units and a five hob Gaggenau cooker, wine chiller and fitted walnut units with granite work surfaces. The indoor pool is 39ft long and there is also a jacuzzi and steam room, while the games room has a snooker table and a pool table. Also on the ground floor is an eight-seat home cinema room with a surround sound system. Companies House records in the UK also show that Jota set up an image rights company called Minute J Ltd in February 2023 to channel some of his football earnings and his father Joaquim was also associated with it. The first set of accounts filed in December 2024 cover the period the initial first 12 months of the company and show it made £186,754 but owed creditors £49,786, with the bulk of £44,825 to HMRC for Corporation Tax. Football players often set up image rights companies as a way to control earnings from things like name, nickname, squad number which might be used in sponsorship, merchandising and endorsements. Besides his earnings from football Jota also had lucrative deals with Nike and EA Sports bringing in an estimated £3.3million a year and he set up his own Esports team called Luna Galaxy. According to Portuguese media, Jota also had a collection of luxury cars worth more than £1million including a Range Rover Sport, Porsche 911 Turbo S, a Ferrari 488, an Audi Q7 and a Mercedes-Benz G63AMG. Website, The Richest, in a detailed profile of Jota's financial worth, said: 'He left behind a financial legacy few soccer players achieve so young. 'His business smart matched his on-field vision, he left behind a blueprint for how athletes can build wealthy and legacy beyond the pitch.' Jota's tragic death came just 13 days after he wedded Rute, his teenage sweetheart. At the ceremony he declared himself as the luckiest man in the world to be her husband and a series of emotional images and videos were posted to social media of their special day. Many who were there on what Rute described as that 'dream come true' wedding day then had to devastatingly fly in for Jota and his brother's funeral just over two weeks later. Family and friends, including footballers, came from all corners of the globe to the 17th-century Igreja Matriz church. It was there that they heard the Bishop of Porto, D. Manuel Linda, send a message to the couple's three children. The bishop said: 'At this moment you are suffering immensely or perhaps not because you do not realise it. The ones who suffer a lot are your mother and your grandparents. 'Seeing the mortal remains of a child must be a greater torment, but when there are two urns there are no words... 'If it is difficult to see an adult cry, it is even more difficult to see a child cry. I send you a special greeting for your mother and grandparents.' Both coffins were carried through the front doors of the church to the sound of violins and applause in a procession led by two priests at 10am. Jota's Liverpool team-mates flew in overnight. They included Virgil van Dijk, the club's captain, and Andrew Robertson, who carried red wreaths in the shape of football shirts emblazoned with Jota's number 20 and his brother's number 30. Former Liverpool players, including Jordan Henderson and James Milner, were also present. Jota and his brother were 190 miles into a trip from Porto to Santander, where he planned to take a ferry to England, when they crashed in the Spanish province of Zamora. Their bodies were buried, not cremated, in a graveyard screened by olive trees. Jota's team-mates from his former club Wolves, including Joao Moutinho and Rui Patricio, joined club officials to pay their respects. They were spotted escorting a Wolves-themed wreath which read: 'Diogo your desire to fight and win lit up Molineux.' Speaking after the service, Roberto Martinez, the Portugal manager, was emotional as he told of his sadness over the tragedy. He said: 'I can only say that these are very, very sad days. Today was a demonstration for Diogo and Andre that we are all together and that we are Portugal. 'Now, I would like to thank everyone for their presence, for all the messages from all over the world. We are with Andre Silva and Diogo Jota. Always, always with us.'
