Whether under the Centre Court roof or not, Andy Murray will play his third round match at Wimbledon today. The US Open champion will face a tough challenge from experienced Spaniard Tommy Robredo.

Robredo has been ranked as highly as fifth in the world, but injuries have held him back over the past few years. Robredo won three matches in a row from two sets down at the recent French Open, the latest victory in what is proving to be a strong comeback.

Murray says Robredo's return to form has been impressive, and believes the winning streak is likely to continue. Murray told reporters "it's only a matter of time before he starts playing matches against the top guys in the world, and he'll start winning again".

UK's Laura Robson and Colombia's Mariana Duque-Marino will be the first players on the Centre Court in their second round of the Ladie's Singles. Nicolas Almagro and the Polish Jerzy Janowicz will follow in the other third round gentlemen's singles.

Centre Court action will start at 1 PM, with other fixtures due to commence from 11:30 AM. However, rain is expected to cause long delays throughout the day.
