On a day marked by overcast skies and occasional rain showers, several notable players progressed in the Wimbledon Championships. In the Women’s Singles, Mirra Andreeva and Liudmila Samsonova secured their spots in the last 16 (Round of 16).
Seventh seed Mirra Andreeva, hailing from Russia, eased past unseeded American Hailey Baptiste 6-1, 6-3, marking her third consecutive Round of 16 appearance at a major. Meanwhile, 19th seed Liudmila Samsonova, another Russian contender, beat fellow Russian and 16th seed Daria Kasatkina 6-2, 6-3.
However, the third-round clash between defending champion Barbora Krejcikova (No. 17) and Emma Navarro (No. 10) ended without a clear winner, with updates indicating the match was still ongoing as of Saturday evening.
In the Men’s Singles, the action was more scattered, with Carlos Alcaraz and Taylor Fritz advancing in their respective matches on Friday and Sunday, but no specific last 16 advances were confirmed for Saturday in the available updates.
The Italian 22nd seed Flavio Cobolli made history by reaching the fourth round of a Grand Slam for the first time, beating Czech 15th seed Jakub Mensik 6-2 6-4 6-2. Grigor Dimitrov, a former semi-finalist, also progressed, reaching the last 16 at Wimbledon for the third year in a row by beating Sebastian Ofner 6-3 6-4 7-6(0).
Rain caused play to be suspended again on most of the outside courts, including Court One, where the roof was opened after Mirra Andreeva's win over Hailey Baptiste. Notable matches scheduled for the Wimbledon Order of Play on Saturday include Novak Djokovic's quest for an eighth Wimbledon title against countryman Miomir Kecmanovic, and Belinda Bencic's bid to reach the quarter-finals against Elisabetta Cocciaretto.
