The schedule for the fifth day of the 2024 Wimbledon Championships has been released, with the men’s singles top half and women’s singles bottom half entering the third round. Zhu Lin is the sole Chinese player in action in the singles draw today, taking on New Zealand-born Chinese qualifier Sun LuLu in the first match on Court 15, marking their first-ever encounter.

On Centre Court, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will open play against No. 29 seed Frances Tiafoe. Wildcard recipient Emma Raducanu, the local favorite, will face No. 9 seed Maria Sakkari; their only previous meeting came at the 2021 US Open, where the then-18-year-old Briton won in straight sets en route to a fairytale title. Can Raducanu pull off an upset this time around at a Grand Slam? We’ll have to wait and see. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will headline the day’s proceedings, battling Serbia’s Miomir Kecmanović.
