Elise Mertens, the world No 33 in singles, is set to face Emma Raducanu in the Wimbledon third round today. Raducanu, who was thrilled with her gritty victory in her Wimbledon debut, will face a much more formidable opponent in Mertens.
The 21-year-old is focused on relishing her time at Wimbledon and taking pride in each win, knowing how challenging every match can be. She has no specific goals for the tournament, but is determined to give it her all on the court and not let any frustrations get the best of her game.
Raducanu’s match against Mertens is scheduled to be the third game on Court No 1, following Coco Gauff and Carlos Alcaraz. The play on Court No 1 starts at 1pm, so Raducanu could take to the court around 4:30 to 5pm, depending on how long the previous matches last.
Viewers in the UK can catch Wimbledon coverage on BBC Sport, with matches being broadcast on BBC One and Two as well as streaming on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website. The TV schedule for Wednesday includes live coverage on BBC Two and One throughout the day along with additional coverage on BBC Red Button.
