Emma Raducanu is set to face Maria Sakkari for a spot in the Wimbledon last-16 in a highly anticipated rematch of their US Open semi-final from three years ago. This time, Raducanu is entering the match as the eighth seed, while Sakkari is coming in as the ninth seed. Despite her success at the US Open, Raducanu is downplaying expectations and sees herself as the underdog against the Greek player on Centre Court. She is looking forward to the challenge and hopes to continue enjoying the experience of playing in front of her home crowd.
The match between Raducanu and Sakkari is scheduled as the second match of the day on Centre Court on Friday, starting at 1:30pm. However, depending on the outcome of the first match between Carlos Alcaraz and Frances Tiafoe, Raducanu’s match may be delayed. Fans can expect Raducanu to take the court around 5pm, but the timing may vary slightly.
