London, Great Britain, 30 June 2022 | Leigh Rogers
Day four at Wimbledon 2022 looms as an exciting one for Australian tennis fans.
There are 14 Australian players scheduled to compete today, including world No.27 Alex de Minaur taking on British hope Jack Draper in second-round singles action.
De Minaur is one of four Aussie contenders, along with Nick Kyrgios, Jordan Thompson and Jason Kubler, still alive in the gentlemen’s singles competition.
Ajla Tomljanovic is the sole Australian standing in the ladies’ singles draw and is determined to continue her winning run when she meets American qualifier Catherine Harrison today.
“It feels like such a privilege to play at Wimbledon and I’m just grateful to have another match,” Tomljanovic said.
