London, Great Britain, 1 July 2022 | Leigh Rogers

Four points, at minimum, is all Jason Kubler needs to win when his rain-delayed second-round match resumes today at Wimbledon.

The 29-year-old Australian is leading 6-3 6-4 5-4 against Austrian Dennis Novak and is serving for a place in the third round.

Can the world No.99 continue his impressive form? Has the rain delay halted Kubler’s momentum? Will nerves play a factor and allow Novak back into the match?

All these questions will be answered on day five at the All England Club, where Kubler is one of six Australian players scheduled to compete.

Play begins from 8pm AEST and is broadcast live in Australia on the Nine Network and Stan Sport.

Gentlemen’s doubles, second round, Court 5, first match (from 8pm AEST)
Smith has advanced to the second round at Wimbledon for a sixth time. The world No.99’s next goal is to snap a five-match losing streak at this stage of the tournament. The 33-year-old Aussie and Spanish partner Martinez face a big test. Third seeds Koolhof, a 33-year-old Dutchman ranked No.7, and Skupski, a 32-year-old Brit ranked No.8, have been the best performing team so far this season.

World No.12 Sanders enjoyed a stunning run at Wimbledon last year, advancing to the semifinals in a career-best performance. With Sanders’ regular partner Caroline Dolehide not competing at Wimbledon this year, the 27-year-old is instead teaming with Bencic, an Olympic doubles silver medallist, for the first time. This rain-delayed match resumes with Sanders and Bencic leading 6-2 3-4.
