Novak Djokovic, bidding for a record 25th Grand Slam singles title and an eighth at SW19 to equal Roger Federer’s Wimbledon haul, faces third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second match on Centre Court.

Fourth seed Jessica Pegula, the highest-ranked player left in the women’s draw, takes on fellow American Coco Gauff in the opening match on Centre at 13:30.

Japan’s Naomi Osaka, who beat top seed Aryna Sabalenka on Sunday, takes on Czech 10th seed Karolina Muchova in the second match on Court One.

Britain’s last remaining singles hope Arthur Fery plays his last-eight match against Italy’s Flavio Cobolli on Wednesday.

Fery, 23, overcame Grigor Dimitrov in a fifth-set tie-break on Monday to clinch the biggest win of his career.

He is the first British wildcard to reach a Grand Slam quarter-final and the lowest-ranked player to reach the men’s last eight at Wimbledon for 12 years.

How to follow on the BBC

Every match from all 18 courts is available live on BBC iPlayer and the BBC Sport website and app, and there will also be daily television coverage on BBC One and BBC Two.

The BBC Sport website and app will have daily live text commentaries and in-play clips alongside match reports, analysis and features.

There will be radio coverage across 5 Live, 5 Sports Extra and BBC Sounds, starting from 13:00 BST on weekdays and 12:00 on weekends, as well as a daily podcast via the ‘All About Wimbledon’ feed on BBC Sounds.

John McEnroe and Tim Henman will also return for to Radio 5 Live’s iconic 6-Love-6 show.

BBC iPlayer will have a new inclusive feed for Centre Court matches for fans who are blind or visually impaired. It has been co-designed by members of the blind and partially-sighted community and can be found on the Audio Described category page on iPlayer.

Who are the defending champions?

Sinner is the favourite to win the men’s title in the absence of injured two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz.

Defending women’s champion Iga Swiatek was beaten in the third round by Alexandra Eala.

What happened to British players in the singles draw?

Eighteen of the 19 British players who started in the singles draws were knocked out in the first two rounds.

The 10 losses by British players on the opening day of their home Grand Slam was the most at SW19 since daily records began in 2000.

Katie Swan, Jacob Fearnley, Jan Choinski and Fery made it through on Tuesday but a further five players fell to opening-round defeats – meaning the total number of first-round losses for home players was the most since 16 exited in 1988.

Six British players were ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the singles draws, but Choinski was the only one to reach the second round.

Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper pulled out prior to their first-round matches because of injury, while men’s number one Cameron Norrie lost to Michael Zheng in five sets and Francesca Jones and Katie Boulter also departed.

Fery is the last Briton in the singles.

Who plays who in the Wimbledon draw?

The Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles draws took place on Friday, 26 June.

What is the prize money this year?

The total prize fund at this year’s Wimbledon will be £64.2m, following the largest annual increase in the event’s history.

The singles’ champions will each take home £3.6m with first-round losers paid £80,000.

More than £6m has been set aside for the qualifying competition – an increase of 25%.

Overall prize money has increased by £10.7m, with leading players welcoming the 20% increase in prize money as a “genuine and significant step forward”.

However they still expanded their protests about prize money – limiting the time they offered at the media weekend.

Who are the pundits and presenters?
