  • Posted: Jul 03, 2024

Wednesday morning rain has delayed the start of second-round action at Wimbledon, where play on uncovered courts is currently suspended until at least 11:45 a.m. local time (BST).

When the weather clears, six men’s singles matches will begin on uncovered courts at the All England Club, including eighth seed Casper Ruud’s clash against Fabio Fognini on No. 2 Court.

Regardless of the weather, the action will begin at 1:30 p.m. on Centre Court and 1:00 p.m. on No. 1 Court, due to both stadiums being fitted with a retractable roof.

The No. 5 in the PIF ATP Rankings Daniil Medvedev will take on Alexandre Muller in the first match on Centre Court, where top seed Jannik Sinner later meets 2021 finalist Matteo Berrettini in an all-Italian blockbuster. It will be the pair’s second Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting after Sinner’s win in straight sets in Toronto last year.

On No. 1 Court, defending champion Carlos Alcaraz faces Aleksandar Vukic in the second match of the day.
