Wimbledon briefing: Day four recap, Friday's order of play and Raducanu preview
Here, the PA news agency looks back at Thursday's action and previews day five of the Championships.
Draper's disappointment

Jack Draper admitted he has a lot of work to do if he is to challenge at Wimbledon in the future after a crushing loss to Marin Cilic in the second round.
The British number one is still yet to make it beyond the last 64 at his home grand slam and, having come into the tournament as the fourth seed after a brilliant season so far, the 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4 defeat was his most painful yet.
'Even though I've had such an amazing progression the last 12 months, I've still got a lot of areas that I need to improve in my game,' the 23-year-old said.
'In some ways that's exciting, and in some ways that's hard to deal with because I thought I was ahead of where I was.'
Djokovic 99 not out

Novak Djokovic racked up his 99th match win at Wimbledon and sent a message to title favourites Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz.
The 38-year-old proved he is a major contender at this year's Wimbledon with a near-flawless performance in 6-3 6-2 6-0 victory over Britain's Dan Evans.
And the seven-time champion has his eyes firmly on another title in SW19, with no time for thoughts of retirement.
He said: 'I don't pause to reflect, to be honest. I don't have time. I would like to. But I think that's going to come probably when I set the racket aside and then sip margaritas on the beach with Federer and Nadal and just reflect on our rivalry and everything.'
Brit watch
Sonay Kartal is back into the third round (Mike Egerton/PA)
British number one Emma Raducanu takes on top seed Aryna Sabalenka for a place in the fourth round of a women's draw that has only five top-10 seeds remaining.
Sonay Kartal is back in the third round for the second successive year and starts as favourite against French qualifier Diane Parry, who stunned 12th seed Diana Shnaider to reach this stage.
And Cameron Norrie, the 2022 semi-finalist, will also fancy his chances against world number 73 Mattia Bellucci after the British number three knocked out 12th seed Frances Tiafoe in the second round.
Match of the day
Emma Raducanu is ready to take on the world number one (Mike Egerton/PA)
Emma Raducanu's reward for knocking out 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova was an early meeting with world number one Aryna Sabalenka.
They have played once before, in Indian Wells last spring, when Sabalenka won in straight sets but in a close enough contest to give the British number one encouragement.
Raducanu said: 'She's number one in the world for a reason. I'm going to have to be aggressive but pick my moments and not kind of be overly (aggressive).
'I don't think I'm going to go out there and out-power her. I think I'm going to have to try and be creative, as well.'

Off-colour Lions made to work for victory over New South Wales Waratahs
Owen Farrell watched from the stands as the British and Irish Lions laboured to a 21-10 victory over New South Wales Waratahs in what was comfortably their worst performance since arriving in Australia. A fortnight out from the first Test against the Wallabies and the Lions struggled to put away a side that finished eighth in the Super Rugby table and had lost five of their last six matches. Even the arrival of a heavyweight bench could not provide the lift Andy Farrell's men needed at Allianz Stadium and a dismal second-half made for grim viewing with Alex Mitchell's 55th-minute try at least providing some breathing space. Full time in Sydney 🦁 #Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 5, 2025 Henry Pollock was withdrawn from the back row shortly before kick-off because of a tight calf and it was a good match for the rising star of English rugby to miss with a number of Lions playing their way out of Test match contention. Only Scotland centres Sione Tuipulotu and Huw Jones and props Pierre Schoeman and Finlay Bealham distinguished themselves with the impressive Jones finishing with two tries, lifting his total for the tour to three. Owen Farrell arrived into camp on Friday after being called-up as a replacement for the injured Elliot Daly and witnessed a display that fell well short of previous outings against Western Force and Queensland Reds. The former England captain smiled as he was booed and cheered when shown on the big screen, with team-mate Will Stuart comically joining the jeering coming from home fans. The Waratahs fought their hearts out even though they were missing several key players such as Joseph-Aukuso Suaalii and Angus Bell to Australia duty against Fiji on Sunday. Taniela Tupou, dubbed the 'Tongan Thor', had at least been released back to the franchise in the hope he would find some form ahead of the Tests but instead he struggled as the Lions mined three scrum penalties in the opening quarter. Huw Jones at the double in the first half 🦁 #Lions2025 — British & Irish Lions (@lionsofficial) July 5, 2025 The tourists were dominating the set-piece, but it was the understanding of centres Tuipulotu and Jones that led to an opening try that was forged in Scotland. Jones crossed after being sent through a gap with a short pass from his Scotland centre colleague and then powered over for a second having also made the initial carry that drove the hosts backwards. Waratahs openside Charlie Gamble had seen a try chalked off for offside at the line-out but his team eventually succeeded in the 35th minute when Darby Lancaster capitalised on hesitant defending on the Lions' right wing. Hugo Keenan was enduring a nightmare debut after making error after error but he was far from alone as the familiar theme of dropped passes and poor handling continued to haunt Farrell's men. They led just 14-5 at the interval and when Ethan Dobbin finished a maul try one minute into the second half they suddenly found themselves in a tight spot, playing poorly against a side that was scrapping for everything. Mitchell settled the nerves when he took advantage of an overlap to dummy his way over and the Lions were unable to break through again in a desperately scrappy final quarter.

Alcaraz, Sinner or Djokovic? Roger Federer predicts Wimbledon champion
Roger Federer has named who thinks will win Wimbledon 2025 as the likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic fight it out. Spanish superstar Alcaraz, 22, arguably remains the biggest favourite, having clinched the men's singles trophy for the last two years in a row. Sinner, 23, is also among the main contenders with the world No.1 and top seed playing some of his best tennis at this year's Championships. Djokovic, 38, a 24-time Grand Slam winner, cannot be discounted either given his experience and history of success at the All England Club. Swiss tennis legend Federer is adamant that one of those three men will land the title – and has revealed his 'slight favourite' to come out on top. Federer took part in a Rolex event in London on Friday which featured a Q&A session with an audience. According to Women's Wear Daily, Federer was asked about who he thought would win the Wimbledon men's singles title and said that Alcaraz was 'slightly favoured' over Sinner and Djokovic. Meanwhile, in the women's singles, Federer believes either Aryna Sabalenka – the world No.1 – or defending champion Barbora Krejčíková will come out on top. Alcaraz booked his spot in the fourth round on Friday with a 6-1 3-6 6-3 6-4 victory over unseeded German opponent Jan-Lennard Struff. Sinner joined him in the last 16 on Saturday with a 6-1 6-3 6-1 win over Spanish world No.52 Pedro Martinez while Djokovic plays his third-round match against fellow Serbian Miomir Kecmanovic later today. Speaking after his win over Struff, Alcaraz fired a warning to his Wimbledon title rivals. Quizzed about winning 21 matches in a row and if he was playing the best tennis of his career, Alcaraz said: 'Yeah, I think so. 'It wasn't the best tennis the whole 21 matches that I've won. But I think I've kept myself really, really calm in the tough moments in those 21 matches that I won in a row. 'I think I've played really good tennis lately. I'm really high on confidence right now. I'm really happy. During those matches I've saved myself in some really difficult moments.' Djokovic, speaking after his second-round win over British star Dan Evans, said: 'If I play like today, I feel like I have a very good chance against anybody, really, on the Centre Court of Wimbledon, a place where I maybe feel the most comfortable on any court. More Trending 'Rod Laver Arena and Wimbledon Centre Court are the two courts where I've done so well throughout my career. I felt great physically, mentally sharp. 'Game-wise, I'm playing as well as I can, really, on grass. So hopefully I can keep it up. I met Gael Monfils in the locker room. He was waiting for his match. He kind of smiled at me and said, 'Good day in the office' – at this age, he said, We need those types of days. 'Of course, it's great. You want to keep on playing this way. It can be only one day, one match. Tomorrow or in two days can be a different story. I don't know. 'I'm trying to be cautious and keep it going. But yeah, aspirations and objectives are very high to go all the way.'

Emma Raducanu leaves Wimbledon with boosted confidence – but also coach question
Emma Raducanu departs Wimbledon confident she is on the right path but with her coaching situation again up in the air. The 22-year-old had the Centre Court crowd believing in another fairytale as she fought toe-to-toe with Aryna Sabalenka before the world number one eventually battled to a 7-6 (6) 6-4 third-round victory. Raducanu smiled through tears in her post-match press conference as she balanced disappointment at the result with the satisfaction of having come so close. Central to Raducanu's good run over the last few months, though, has been coach Mark Petchey, who took a break from his media commitments to be with her full-time during the grass-court season having worked on an ad hoc basis since they first linked up in Miami in March. 'It's very difficult,' said Raducanu when asked where the partnership goes from here. 'He obviously also has his commentating commitments. He agreed to help me until the end of Wimbledon and then we see from there because he gave up some work to work with me here, which I really appreciate and I'm grateful for. 'That's a conversation that we need to have after a few days and the dust settles a little bit.' If Raducanu does not continue with Petchey, it will be back to the drawing board, and the former US Open champion's difficult run after splitting from former coach Nick Cavaday in January was another demonstration that she plays her best tennis when she has people she trusts around her. Raducanu's childhood coach Jane O'Donoghue, who has helped out when Petchey has been unavailable, is returning to her day job in finance after taking a sabbatical and is also unlikely to travel as much. A reunion with Cavaday could be a possibility, with the 39-year-old now recovered from the health problems that forced him to step away. He was alongside Petchey when Raducanu played at Queen's Club and may yet take a more active role again. Raducanu admitted the Sabalenka loss is likely to take her a few days to get over, with the defeat also meaning she will slip to British number three behind Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal. The goal for all three women must be to try to push their ranking up into the top 32 so they are seeded at grand slams and not so much at the whim of the draw. Statistics provided by IBM show that the improvements Raducanu has been trying to make are having an effect, with the Kent player serving more accurately than last year and being more aggressive, with 16 per cent of her shots resulting in winners in 2025 compared to 13 per cent 12 months ago. She should have a good chance of making gains in the build-up to the US Open, with her next tournament scheduled to come in Washington later this month. Last year she reached the quarter-finals in the American capital having chosen not to play in the Olympics but then suffered a minor injury that prevented her playing until New York, where she lost in the first round. Raducanu will carry belief but not over confidence on to the hard courts, saying: 'It gives me confidence that I'm not as far away as I perhaps thought before the tournament. 'I think previously, when I was playing those top-five players, it was pretty convincing, the loss. So I think to really push Aryna, it does give me confidence. 'But, at the same time, I feel like grass for me is a great surface. It's a bit of a leveller in that sense. So I think taking it on to a different surface where it's a lot more lively in America is another challenge in itself. 'There's still a lot of things that I want to do better, a lot of things I want to improve to really solidify my game so that in the big moments I can back myself a little bit more.'
