In the women's draw, Iga Swiatek meets Yulia Putintseva, and Andy Murray teams up with Emma Raducanu in mixed doubles action.

The third round of Wimbledon continues at the All England Club on Saturday as the world's top players battle for Grand Slam glory in London. Eight-time champion Novak Djokovic faces unseeded Australian Alexei Popyrin while dark horses Alexander Zverev and Daniil Medvedev are also in action, looking to secure their spots in the next round.

Iga Swiatek takes on Kazakh Yulia Putintseva in the women's draw, and Andy Murray will participate in mixed doubles alongside fellow Briton Emma Raducanu. The stakes are high as the tournament enters a critical phase.

In a headline match, second seed Djokovic, who endured a tough four-set battle with Popyrin at the Australian Open earlier this year, faces another challenge. Djokovic, recovering from a minor knee surgery, will look to maintain his form and avoid an upset. Elsewhere, last year's runner-up Ons Jabeur, Iga Swiatek, and Elena Rybakina are also key contenders keen to make their mark.

All eyes will be on Centre Court, where these thrilling matches unfold, promising high drama and exceptional tennis skill.
