What time does Wimbledon start today? TV channel and how to watch

Serena Williams and Rafael Nadal are both in action on the second day of Wimbledon as the iconic grass-court tournament returns to the All England Club.

Williams will be making her long-awaited grand slam return as the seven-time Wimbledon champion takes on Harmony Tan on Centre Court today.

Williams received a kind opening draw against French wildcard Tan, who is ranked 115th in the world. “Every match is hard,” Williams said. “Every match. You can’t underestimate anyone or any match any day. Anyone could have been drawn to me.”

Nadal, meanwhile, will be continueing his remarkable quest for a calendar grand slam as the 36-year-old opens his campaign against Francisco Cerundolo. Nadal is making his first appearance at Wimbledon since 2019 and it comes after a stunning year for the 22-time grand slam champion where he has won both the Australian Open and French Open titles.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the second day of play.
