Wimbledon 2016: Time, TV schedule, live streaming for Wednesday’s matches

Novak Djokovic is out of Wimbledon and the remaining eight players all feel like they have a shot at claiming a Grand Slam title. For the first time in his career, Andy Murray is the favorite to win a major and he enters Wednesday’s quarterfinals with a tough match against Frenchman Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on the schedule.

That match will be broadcast live on ESPN, with a live stream available via WatchESPN. Play on the top two courts begins at 8 a.m. ET, which is the same time coverage will be picked up by both ESPN and ESPN2.

Tsonga made it through the Round of 16 when his opponent, Richard Gasquet, retired from the match with injury. For Tsonga, it had to be a relief as he fought John Isner to a tough five-set tiebreak in the third round. That match lasted over four hours, but with Gasquet’s retirement, he should be plenty rested and ready for Murray, the second seed.

In other quarterfinals action, Sam Querrey will be taking on Milos Raonic. This is the first time Querrey, an American and the 28th seed for the tournament, has made it to the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam. Querrey is notable for having eliminated Djokovic in the third round, and all eyes are on him as he looks to defy the odds once again.

If Querrey makes it past Raonic, then he’ll have to contend with the winner of Wednesday’s match between Roger Federer, the third seed, and Marin Cilic, the ninth seed. Federer, 34, has won Wimbledon seven times but hasn’t won it since 2012, the last time he won a major.

Federer has been nearly as good as his prime over these last few years, but not good enough to consistently beat players like Murray, Djokovic and even Rafael Nadal in the finals of majors. With Djokovic out of the way, Murray is considered his top competition.

The winner of the match between Murray and Tsonga will face the winner of Wednesday’s match between Tomas Berdych and Lucas Pouille. Berdych, the 10th seed, was pushed to five sets against Jiri Vesely and had to continue his fourth-round match on Tuesday. Berdych won the fifth set and advanced to Wednesday’s quarterfinals, but he should be feeling the effects of the long match.

The matches from Centre Court -- Murray vs. Tsonga and Federer vs. Cilic -- will be broadcast on ESPN beginning at 8 a.m. The matches from Court No. 1 will also begin at that time, and feature the other two singles matches. Those will be on ESPN2. Live streams of all matches on the day will be available. Doubles and juniors play on the outer courts will begin at 6 a.m.
