Who is playing at Wimbledon today? Day 4 order of play including Rafael Nadal, Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek
Wimbledon continues with a packed schedule on day four headlined by the men’s No 2 seed Rafael Nadal and the women’s No 1 ranked player Iga Swiatek, while rising British star Jack Draper is also in action.
Nadal was made to battle by Francisco Cerundolo on Monday and now faces Lithuania’s Ricardas Berankis in the second round. Swiatek faces the Dutch Lesley Pattinama Kerkhove as she aims to continue her phenomonal form this season which saw her reach the semi-finals of the Australian Open and win at Roland Garros.
The 20-year-old Draper pulled off an impressive straight sets win against Zizou Bergs in the first round but now faces a much tougher challenge in Australian 19th seed Alex de Minaur.
Along with Nadal, American’s Coco Gauff and Britain’s Katie Boulter are also in action on Centre Court on Thursday.
