LONDON (Reuters) -Top seed Aryna Sabalenka takes on Britain's Emma Raducanu, while American Taylor Fritz faces Spain's Alejandro Davidovich Fokina when the third round at Wimbledon begins on Friday. Twice defending champion Carlos Alcaraz continues his three-in-a-row bid when he plays German Jan-Lennard Struff,

Emma Raducanu warmed up to face Aryna Sabalenka by watching the other world No.1 Jannik Sinner in training today. The British No.1 practised for 70 minutes with hitting partner Adam Jones at Aorangi Park before her third round blockbuster.

Emma Raducanu produced a statement performance to brush aside Marketa Vondrousova and set up a showdown with world number one Aryna Sabalenka. This was supposed to be a stern test for the British number one, against a player in Vondrousova who won the Wimbledon title only two years ago.
