Wimbledon 2021 Day Four Preview and Order of Play | Federer, Barty and Azarenka take centre stage

Eight-time champion Roger Federer is among the big names to star on day four of Wimbledon 2021, while Ashleigh Barty, Daniil Medvedev and Victoria Azarenka are also in action at the All England Club.

Federer was given a scare as he launched his quest for a ninth title against Adrian Mannarino on Tuesday.

The eighth seed trailed by two sets to one and faced a tricky decider had his opponent not been forced to retire with injury.

Next up for the 39-year-old is two-time semi-finalist Richard Gasquet, who he has beaten in 18 of the previous 20 meetings between the players.

Meanwhile, second seed Medvedev resumes his quest for a maiden Grand Slam title when he takes on Carlos Alcaraz, as does Alexander Zverev against Tennys Sandgren.

Top ladies seed Barty has never been past the fourth round at Wimbledon, and will be aiming to avoid a slip-up at the second hurdle against Anna Blinkova.

Former world number one Azarenka locks horns with Sorana Cirstea, while Elina Svitolina and French Open champion Barbora Krejcikova do battle with Magda Linette and Andrea Petkovic respectively.

Big-serving Matteo Berrettini hit a whopping 20 aces and 47 winners in his four-set victory over Guido Pella on Wednesday, and the seventh seed will be targeting more of the same against Botic Van De Zandschlup.

Great Britain’s Cameron Norrie aims to delight the home crowd once more against Alex Bolt, while eighth seed Roberto Bautista Agut looks to convert his 2-1 advantage over Miomir Kecmanovic.

Former champion Angelique Kerber’s quest for a second title continues against Sara Sorribes Tormo as rising star Coco Gauff takes on Elena Vesnina.

Felix Auger-Aliassime and Cristian Garin go head to head with Mikael Ymer and Marc Polmans respectively, while French Open semi-finalist Maria Sakkari must overturn a one-set deficit against Shelby Rogers.
