— We're into day five of Wimbledon 2019 and there are quite a few mouth-watering clashes lined up. The highlight is going to be Serena Williams and Andy Murray's mixed doubles match. It's yet to be arranged on today's order of play, presumably because they're waiting for the centre court to be free. Where else would you have such an iconic pair play their first match together?
Teenage sensation Cori Gauff is also scheduled to take on Polona Hercog on centre court today, but only after a potentially pulsating match between two former World numbers ones, Simona Halep and Victoria Azarenka (one more recent than the other). Azarenka looks like she could be the dark horse here.
Novak Djokovic's third round clash against Herbert Hurkacz is on court 1 after Karolina Pliskova's match against Su-Wei Hsieh.
Among Indians in action today are Leander Paes and Divij Sharan. Paes pairs up with Samantha Stosur in mixed doubles. Divij Sharan and Marcelo Demoliner take on Joran Vliegen and Sander Gille in a men's doubles second round match.
