2015 WIMBLEDON TENNIS
July 8, 2015  | By David Bianculli

ESPN, 8:00 a.m. ET

 

All four of the top men’s seeds play today – including No. 1 seed Novak Djokovic, who will be playing singles championship tennis at Wimbledon for the third consecutive day. After falling two sets down to No. 14 seed Kevin Anderson Monday in a fiercely competitive match, Djokovic rallied to tie the match at two sets apiece, only to have the game suspended because of impending darkness. Anderson and Djokovic returned to play their final set yesterday, with Djokovic prevailing in another tough, tense matchup, finally taking that final set 7-5. And now, today, Djokovic has to play yet again, squaring off against No. 9 seed Marin Cilic. Also today, No. 2 seed, Roger Federer, plays No. 12 Gilles Simon, and No. 4 seed, Stan Wawrinka, plays No. 21 seed, Richard Gasquet. Most games will be televised live by ESPN – but matches played on Center Court will be covered by ESPN2. That’s where to find, at the start of today’s coverage, Federer's match -- but ESPN starts with what may be the day’s most emotional match: Wimbledon favorite Andy Murray, seeded No. 3, vs. Vasek Posposil, ranked No. 56. When Murray (pictured) plays on Centre Court, the local crowd goes crazy.
