Cameron Norrie and Heather Watson make their last-16 Grand Slam debuts at Wimbledon’s first scheduled day of play on middle Sunday.
Six-time champion Novak Djokovic, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz and third seed Ons Jabeur make up a star-studded line-up as the All England Club also celebrates 100 years of Centre Court.
Watson faces Belgian Jule Niemeier first up on Centre at 14:10 BST after her straight-set victory over Slovenian Kaja Juvan in the third round.
