Alcaraz, Sabalenka, Zverev: The Packed Schedule for Monday, June 30 at Wimbledon

Next week, the third Grand Slam of the season kicks off at Wimbledon. In the British capital, players competing in both singles draws will aim to follow in the footsteps of Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova on the honors list.
The schedule for the first day, set for Monday, June 30, has been unveiled by the tournament organizers. On Centre Court, as tradition dictates, the reigning men's singles champion will open the proceedings.
Thus, Carlos Alcaraz will face Fabio Fognini at 2:30 PM French time, followed by the day's other matches. Katie Boulter will take on Paula Badosa in one of the standout first-round clashes in the women's draw. Finally, Alexander Zverev will play in the evening against Arthur Rinderknech.
On Court 1, Aryna Sabalenka will meet Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine. The world No. 1, absent from the London grass courts last year, will make her return and attempt to advance to the next round. Another intriguing matchup will feature Jacob Fearnley against João Fonseca, followed by an all-British clash between Emma Raducanu and Xu Mingge.
As for the matches on Court 2, Daniil Medvedev will face Benjamin Bonzi, Madison Keys will take on Elena-Gabriela Ruse, reigning finalist Jasmine Paolini will challenge Anastasija Sevastova, and Taylor Fritz will battle another French player, Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, who reached the round of 16 last year in London but lost his seeded status this time.
Regarding the other French players in action on Monday, there will be seven in total. Besides Rinderknech, Bonzi, and Mpetshi Perricard, Adrian Mannarino (against Christopher O’Connell), Valentin Royer (who has an enticing match against Stefanos Tsitsipas), Diane Parry (against Petra Martic), and Varvara Gracheva (facing Aliaksandra Sasnovich) will also compete.
