Exclusive live Wimbledon coverage continues with third-round action Friday, with all 10 hours on ESPN at 7 a.m. ET.  Fans can also choose from nine courts offered on ESPN3.  Action will include defending champion Andy Murray (vs. No. 27 seed Roberto Bautista Agut), 2012 winner Novak Djokovic (vs. Gilles Simon of France), plus a match-up of former champions, five-time winner Venus Williams vs. 2011 champ Petra Kvitova, all on Centre Court, as well as two-time Major winner Li Na, the No. 2 seed (against Barbora Zahlavova Strycova of the Czech Republic).

On Saturday, June 28, Breakfast at Wimbledon returns, a one-hour preview of the day on ESPN hosted by Hannah Storm at 7 a.m.  The eight-hour telecast on ESPN begins at 8 a.m., and will include matches with Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Serena Williams and Maria Sharapova, each of whom has won the career Grand Slam.

Breakfast at Wimbledon will also precede the action for the Semifinals and Championships, Thursday, July 3 – Sunday, July 6.  All play on those days is on ESPN.

Looking Ahead

• On the “middle Sunday,” June 29 – a scheduled day off as is Wimbledon tradition – ABC will broadcast a three-hour review of the first week at 3 p.m.

The schedule through Monday (considered “the greatest day in tennis” as all 32 players play in the Round of 16):
