2024 Wimbledon Day Four Schedule and Preview – Thursday 4 July, featuring Djokovic, Swiatek, Rybakina and Zverev
ATP
The schedule and Order of Play has been confirmed for
Thursday, July 4th, as the fourth day of action at 2024 Wimbledon continues.
Thursday will see the completion of the second round and the determination of
the remaining Last 32.
The main attractions of the day include another appearance
by the 7-times champion Novak Djokovic and the world No. 1 Iga Swiatek on
Center Court, as well as the inclusion of former world No. 1 Andy Murray in the
day's closing match. Our preview looks ahead to the key matches on Day Four at
SW19.
Men’s draw – bottom half
The bottom half of the men's draw is led by world No. 2
Novak Djokovic, who had an impressive first-round performance with a straight
sets victory over Vit Kopriva, conceding only 5 games. Just a few days ago,
Djokovic's appearance in the draw was uncertain following knee surgery just 3
weeks ago.
British sensation Jack Draper will animate an intriguing
match for the local crowd against former top-10 player Cameron Norrie, a
semifinalist in 2022, while 4th seed Alexander Zverev faces Marcos Giron.
Polish player Hubert Hurkacz (7th seed) faces a tough
challenge against young Frenchman Arthur Fils, making his first appearance in
the second round of SW19. Other notable matches include Alex De Minaur vs Jaume
Munar, Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Emil Ruusuvuori, and Alejandro Tabilo vs Flavio
Cobolli.
Women’s draw – top half
The standout match of the day will surely be world No. 1 and
4-times Grand Slam champion Iga Swiatek facing off against Croatian Petra
Martic, who has shown good adaptation to grass. Swiatek defeated former
Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in the first round and will once again
face a strong opponent in her quest to advance at SW19Iga

2022 champion Elena Rybakina will also feature prominently
when she meets German Laura Siegemund. Former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki
faces a tough challenge against Canadian Leyla Fernandez, who has had strong
campaigns in recent weeks and is the 30th seed.
2023 semifinalist Beatriz Haddad Maia awaits a South
American clash at the All England Club grass when she takes on former world No.
33 Camila Osorio. Other intriguing matches include Danielle Collins vs Dalma
Galfi, Ons Jabeur vs Robin Montgomery, and a local showdown between Katie
Boulter and Harriet Dart.
The stars return to the court after a tough first round that
saw several surprises in both the men's and women's draws. The WTA suffered
some significant withdrawals such as Aryna Sabalenka, Victoria Azarenka, and
Ekaterina Alexandrova, while seeded men like Andrey Rublev, Sebastian Korda,
and Nicolas Jarry exited quickly in the first round.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.
mandoist06-11-2026 - Enough of her bullshit. Go marry someone.mandoist06-11-2026
- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
