Women’s No. 1 seed Aryna Sabalenka has made it through to the third round of Wimbledon 2025, where she’ll face unseeded British tennis star Emma Raducanu. While the odds definitely favor Sabalenka, the crowd will likely be rooting for the player representing the tournament’s host country. The match will take place on Centre Court following Fritz vs. Fokina and Struff vs. Alcaraz, meaning it likely won’t begin until the early afternoon on the East Coast. Here’s what you need to know to watch Aryna Sabalenka vs. Emma Raducanu at Wimbledon 2025.

DirecTV offers multiple live TV packages geared toward sports fans, with access to ESPN’s suite of channels, ABC and more starting at $69.99/month. You can try it for free for five days before committing.
If you want to catch every match of Wimbledon and don’t currently subscribe to ESPN+, cable or a live TV streaming service, in the U.K. the tournament will air free on BBC iPlayer, and in Australia a majority of the action is streaming free with ads on 9Now.
Don’t live in either of those places? Don’t worry, you can still stream like you do with the help of a VPN. A VPN (virtual private network) helps protect your data, can mask your IP address and is perhaps most popular for being especially useful in the age of streaming.
