Wimbledon 2023 LIVE: Andy Murray questions future after defeat as Katie Boulter faces Elena Rybakina
Who’s playing at Wimbledon today? Saturday’s order of play
Katie Boulter is the last Brit standing in the singles at Wimbledon and her mouth-watering clash with reigning champion Elena Rybakina highlights a stacked Saturday at the All England Club.
Friday was a dark day for Brits in the men’s singles draw as Andy Murray, Cameron Norrie and Liam Broady all fell by the wayside to leave Boulter as the final home hope – although a clash against powerful Rybakina is a significant obstacle as she looks to reach the fourth round of a grand slam for the first time.
Elsewhere at SW19, men’s No 1 seed Carlos Alcaraz will look to follow up his straight-sets victory over Alexandre Muller on Friday with another over Chile’s Nicolas Jarry 24 hours later as the first match on Centre Court, with an intriguing clash between Ons Jabeur and Bianca Andreescu following before Boulter vs Rybakina as the headline act.

Andy Murray reveals future Wimbledon plans after Stefanos Tsitsipas defeat
A devastated Andy Murray was left questioning his motivation to keep going after Stefanos Tsitsipas fought back to win their delayed second-round clash on Centre Court.
The Scot was two sets to one up overnight after the 11pm curfew came into play but he was unable to complete the job, with fifth seed Tsitsipas battling to a 7-6 (3) 6-7 (2) 4-6 7-6 (3) 6-4 victory.
It was a hugely disappointing way for Murray to mark the 10th anniversary of his career-defining first Wimbledon title, and he is all too aware that his chances for another deep run here are ebbing away.

The heartbreaking moment Andy Murray’s Wimbledon comeback slipped away
Andy Murray slumped into the press conference room at Wimbledon, dumping his bags by his feet and lowering his stiff and weary body into a chair. Before shuffling across the stage, Murray believed he had been edged out by Stefanos Tsitsipas in a battle that could have gone either way. After resuming their contest on Friday afternoon, Tsitsipas didn’t allow Murray any break-point chances, raising his level in the fourth-set tiebreak and then again at the start of the fifth. Murray competed until the end, but the fifth seed ultimately showed his class as he denied the Briton a famous comeback.

Still – we’re back today and will have all the updates from another packed schedule, which is highlighted by Katie Boulter’s match against the defending champion Elena Rybakina later on. That should be a cracker.
