Schedule/Preview Day Six 2023 Wimbledon Championships including Alcaraz-Jarry, Jabeur-Andreescu, Rybakina-Boulter
Tennis NewsSaturday, 08 July 2023 at 11:46
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.
As ever, TennisUpToDate will preview the action with Carlos Alcaraz, Ons Jabeur and Elena Rybakina taking Centre Stage with some terrific ties coming up.
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.
Medvedev, Zverev and Sabalenka on Court One
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.
Tiafoe, Andreeva, Rune-Davidovich Fokina, Tsitsipas and Kvitova among outside courts
On further outside courts, Stefanos Tsitsipas faces Laslo Djere, Petra Kvitova continues her campaign.
While there are multiple popcorn clashes including Frances Tiafoe v Grigor Dimitrov. As well as a full Court No.3 slate worth watching.
This features Beatriz Haddad Maia - Sorana Cirstea, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina v Holger Rune and Anastasia Potapova against 16-year-old prodigy Mirra Andreeva.
Tommy Paul, Marta Kostyuk - Madison Keys, Christopher Eubanks and Ekaterina Alexandrova complete other courts on another stacked day.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
