Wimbledon: Day 8 order of play and schedule – Novak Djokovic, Elena Rybakina and Alexander Zverev in action – Eurosport
Day 8 at Wimbledon brings another host of intriguing match-ups and big names hoping to light up the play at the All England Club, including men’s second seed Novak Djokovic, former champion Elena Rybakina and Alexander Zverev.
Rybakina kicks off the action on Centre Court, and the fourth seed will be hoping to continue her quest to win another title at the All England Club as she faces Anna Kalinskaya, the 17th seed.
Afterwards, fourth seed Zverev takes on the 13th seed Taylor Fritz in what should be an intriguing battle between the pair.
Finally, on Centre Court, Djokovic takes on Holger Rune, the 15th seed, in what should be a superb encounter as the Serb targets his eighth title at SW19.
Top men’s match
It simply has to be Djokovic v Rune, with the Dane presented with a perfect opportunity to claim a massive scalp.
Djokovic has not reached full fitness since he surprisingly turned up at the All England Club following his knee surgery, and Rune can pile the pressure on. This will be a huge match for whoever comes out on top.
Top women’s match
Over on Court 1, 11th seed Danielle Collins takes on Barbora Krejcikova, who is seeded 31st, and it should be a classic encounter.
Last up on the show court, the clash sees a contrast of styles and two big-game players who will throw everything at it. This is certainly a match not to miss late on Monday.
