Wimbledon 2025: Day Three in Progress
The third day of the world-famous tennis tournament is underway, with a packed schedule featuring a number of British players, including Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter, as well as international stars such as Carlos Alcaraz and Naomi Osaka.
Day Three Highlights
Yesterday, Jack Draper advanced to the second round, but Heather Watson and Jodie Burrage were among the early losses among domestic prospects. However, there were more dramatic exits in the women’s draw, with third seed Jessica Pegula and fifth seed Zheng Qinwen eliminated, and French Open champion Coco Gauff losing in the final game on Court One against Dayana Yastremska.
Celebrities in Attendance
Beyond the tennis, many famous faces have been spotted by fans, with Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett, and Rebel Wilson appearing on the second day. On the opening day at SW19, English football icons Sir David Beckham and Gareth Southgate rubbed shoulders with actors Eddie Redmayne and Jason Isaacs.

Perhaps the greatest attraction for the third day is Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, who made his first public appearance with his wife after revealing he had fathered a child with another woman in 2024. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is seeking a third title in a row at SW19, with Jannik Sinner and Draper also in the men’s draw.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is the favorite for the women’s title, with 2022 champion Elena Rybakina and French Open winner Coco Gauff also leading contenders. The first British players in action today are Sonay Kartal, Viktoriya Tomova, and Billy Harris, who faces Portuguese No. 1 Nuno Borges.
