Day Six is upon us at 2023 Wimbledon Championships with a stacked schedule of action as the first week heads closer to its conclusion at the All England Lawn and Tennis Club.
Alcaraz, Jabeur-Andreescu and Rybakina on Centre Court
Starting off proceedings is Carlos Alcaraz who will play two days running due to the rain delays in the schedule. He saw off Alexandre Muller and next will have Nicolas Jarry.
Only one meeting prior which was on Jarry's preferred surface where he played superbly earlier this season clay. They played in the semi-finals of the Rio Open which Alcaraz won in three sets.
So far though, Jarry has prevailed in marathon contests seeing off Marco Cecchinato and Jason Kubler both in four sets and will play three days on the spin.
Bianca Andreescu was another that had to wait four days to play her first round and was on the brink of defeat against Anhelina Kalinina.
She came from 5-2 down to seal it and remarked afterwards that it felt like her 2019 brilliance. Now she will have to continue that against a player who has flew under the radar but has been consistently excellent all tournament in Ons Jabeur.
They have only faced off once back in 2021 in which Jabeur won in the Last 16 at the National Bank Open so no grass court head to head to go off.
While finally Brit ace Katie Boulter will look to delight the home crowd and do the unthinkable by downing Elena Rybakina.
Rybakina has so far seen off two perceived giant killers in Shelby Rogers and Alize Cornet and now will have a home hero to contend with.
Viktoriya Tomova and Daria Saville have so far been defeated by Boulter but the defending champion is a different complexion.
Rybakina being a calm and composed character as well won't be overawed by the crowd being against her and we are set for a thrilling encounter.
On Court One, many players with a shot outside the main names for the title will be involved.
Aryna Sabalenka will play for a second straight day against Anna Blinkova.
While Daniil Medvedev who has flown under the radar himself compared to Novak Djokovic, Carlos Alcaraz and even Jannik Sinner will face Marton Fucsovics.
Matteo Berrettini after facing heavy criticism for his off court antics and injury issues all year is finally putting a series together and starting to excel on his best surface again.
One of the leading contenders in years past, he will face a resurgent Alexander Zverev who has been putting the building blocks in place for a return to the tennis elite.
