Not for action at Wimbledon 2026 and this coming Friday, July 3, the first day of the third round of the London Grand Slam will take place. Once again, exciting matches are expected. However, the organization's decision to place the defending champion and world number one, Jannik Sinner, outside of Centre Court is surprising. He will play on Court 1, specifically against Jenson Brooksby. It will be the second match, following the encounter between Naomi Osaka and Daria Kasatkina, which starts at 13:00 local time (14:00 in Spain). Therefore, the match between the Italian and the American will start around 15:00 local time (16:00 in Spain).
Centre Court will open with Novak Djokovic facing Arthur Rinderknech at 13:30 local time (14:30 in Spain), where the Serbian will seek a spot in the round of 16. This will be followed by the showdown between Aryna Sabalenka and Jelena Ostapenko, and Felix Auger-Alliasime versus Michael Zheng will close out The Cathedral.
Here are the schedules for Rafa Jódar, Alejandro Davidovich, and Jessica Bouzas in the third round of Wimbledon 2026
From a Spanish perspective, three players will be in action. Rafa Jódar will face Shintaro Mochizuki in the second match on Court 18, meaning not before 12:30 local time (not before 13:30 in Spain). Meanwhile, Alejandro Davidovich will compete against Marton Fucsovics in the third match on Court 12, around 15:00 local time (16:00 in Spain). And Jessica Bouzas, the only remaining Spanish player in the women's draw, will play against Jessica Pegula in the second match on Court 2. Therefore, it is expected to start around 14:00 local time (15:00 in Spain).
