The fourth day of Wimbledon brings a continuation of thrilling second-round (1/32 finals) action, with some of the biggest names in world tennis stepping onto the pristine lawns of the All England Club. Alongside heavy favorites like Alexander Zverev, Grigor Dimitrov, and Alex De Minaur, Thursday’s schedule features a massive generational clash, as well as the conclusion of several dramatic encounters suspended due to darkness.
Here is your complete guide to the most anticipated matches on Day 4 of the Championships.
The Match of the Day: Berrettini vs Fils
The absolute blockbuster of Day 4 is scheduled for 16:00 CET, featuring former Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini taking on the explosive French talent Arthur Fils. Berrettini is a certified powerhouse on grass, armed with a devastating serve and forehand combination. However, the highly-touted Fils brings incredible athleticism and raw power of his own. This promises to be a thrilling test for the young Frenchman and a match with serious five-set potential.
Top Seeds and American Hopes: Zverev, De Minaur, and Fritz
Thursday’s order of play is packed with top-tier talent looking to secure routine victories and conserve energy for the second week:
- Kicking off the day at 12:00 CET is the lightning-fast Alex De Minaur, who faces the tricky French veteran Adrian Mannarino. Mannarino’s flat, skidding groundstrokes are notoriously difficult to deal with on grass, presenting a serious tactical challenge for the Australian.
- In the same time slot (12:00 CET), top-ranked American Taylor Fritz squares off against his compatriot Patrick Kypson in an intriguing all-US battle.
- At 15:30 CET, heavy title contender Alexander Zverev takes the court against Frenchman Valentin Royer. The German giant is heavily favored to overpower his opponent.
- The late afternoon window (17:30 CET) features the always-elegant Grigor Dimitrov. The Bulgarian veteran will test his grass-court pedigree against the rising Czech star Jakub Mensik in what should be a highly entertaining showcase of shot-making.
Suspended Dramas Resume
It’s also important to note that at 13:30 CET, two intense battles suspended from Wednesday will resume:
- American Brandon Nakashima and German Jan-Lennard Struff will return to the court to settle a brutal serving marathon, currently tied at two sets apiece (7-6, 6-7, 7-6, 6-7) heading into a deciding fifth set.
- Experienced Spaniard Pablo Carreno-Busta will look to close out his match against young compatriot Rafael Jodar, holding a 2-1 lead in sets.
Here is the breakdown of the standout matches for Day 4:
