On the third day of Wimbledon, second-round action in both men’s and women’s singles got underway, alongside the completion of first-round matches. In the men’s draw, three Grand Slam champions, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Daniil Medvedev, overcame slow starts to defeat their opponents. Eighth seed Casper Ruud fell in four sets, becoming the second high-profile exit in the men’s singles, leaving both the sixth and eighth seeds from both the men’s and women’s draws eliminated.
In women’s singles, hometown favorite Emma Raducanu delivered a high-level performance for an impressive victory, while the talented Coco Gauff also advanced. Former world number one Naomi Osaka was unable to match her best Wimbledon performance.
Two Chinese players completed their singles matches on day three: Zheng Qinwen defeated Pavlyuchenkova to reach the third round of Wimbledon for the first time in her career, while Zhang Zhizhen lost to Struff, missing out on a potential clash with Medvedev. Both Chinese women’s doubles pairs were knocked out, while Saisai Zheng and Moe Kawaguchi, representing a mixed team, triumphed to progress.
