Day Three of Wimbledon 2023: Novak Djokovic competes against Jordan Thompson, while Jodie Burrage takes the stage

Novak Djokovic returns to Centre Court at Wimbledon for day three.

Day three at Wimbledon sees the return of Novak Djokovic to Centre Court, following Andy Murray's impressive straight-sets victory over Ryan Peniston. Djokovic will be facing Australian Jordan Thompson, in what promises to be a highly anticipated match. Another exciting match to watch is Italian Jannik Sinner taking on Diego Schwartzman, who is considered one of the biggest threats to a straight title at SW19. On the women's side, the No 1 seed Iga Swiatek will be looking to gain momentum as she faces Spain's Sara Sorribes Tormo.

There is also plenty of British interest on day three. Jodie Burrage, who is riding high after her first-ever victory at a grand slam, will be facing Russia's Daria Kasatkina. This will be Burrage's first time playing on Centre Court, adding to the excitement. Heather Watson will also be back on court, facing the 10th seed Barbora Krejcikova on No 1 Court. The rain-affected day two has created a sense of anticipation for day three, with the forecast suggesting a lot of tennis and drama as the tournament plays catch-up.

Wimbledon organisers are hoping for more on-court action after rain disrupted matches on Tuesday. Due to consistent rain throughout the afternoon, only matches on Centre Court and Court One were completed. This has resulted in the need to play catch-up in order to stay on schedule. However, with a stacked day of action ahead, there is hope for a thrilling day of tennis.

One of the highlights of the day will be Jodie Burrage's appearance on Centre Court. After securing her first-ever win at Wimbledon on Monday, she will be facing the 11th seed Daria Kasatkina in the opening match. Meanwhile, world No 1 Iga Swiatek will be taking on Sara Sorribes Torm on another court.

Heather Watson's match against the 10th seed Barbora Krejcikova on Court One is another match to watch. Additionally, Daniil Medvedev and Holger Rune will also be in action as they face the British wildcards Arthur Fery and George Loffhagen respectively.

Overall, day three at Wimbledon promises to be a thrilling day of tennis, with players vying for victory and spectators eager to witness the action. Despite the rain disruptions, there is hope for a full day of matches and plenty of excitement on the courts. Stay tuned for live scores, updates, and the latest happenings at the Championships.
