Will Djokovic also overcome the next hurdle without any problems?

Tennis on Sundays used to be impossible at Wimbledon. People don’t like to deviate from tradition in London, but since 2022 tennis is also played on this day. “This gives us the opportunity to expand our reach at an important time, both in the UK and globally,” explained tournament director Ian Hewitt last year. So today we can prepare for some awesome duels!

The fact that Wimbledon is being played on a Sunday suits the organization perfectly. The program was postponed this week due to heavy rain. Not all matches have finished in the third round, but 95% are back on schedule. Novak Djokovic will play his third match on Center Court against Hubert Hurkacz on Sunday.

The play the Serbian showed on the hallowed turf this week was truly impressive. Pedro Cachin, Jordan Thompson and Stan Wawrinka were all sent home in straight sets. The match against Hurkacz will be a good initial test for Djokovic. In 2019, the Pole won a set at Wimbledon against the seven-time winner. Who knows what he is capable of today?!
