Wimbledon 2015: Top 5 matches to watch on Day 6

Day 5 of the Championships saw Novak Djokovic,Stan Wawrinka, Nick Kyrgios and Richard Gasquet make it to the fourth round without much of a difficulty. On the women’s side Serena Williams fought back from a double break down in the third set to book a place in the last 16. Her sister Venus Williams also made it to the next round.

2004 champion Maria Sharapova and 2015 French Open runner-up Lucie Safarova also made it to the second week.

Roger Federer and Andy Murray will be in action on Saturday.

Here are 5 matches you should watch on Day 6:

5. James Ward Vs Vasek Pospisil

James Ward is the only other Brit left in the draw apart from Andy Murray. Ward has come through two four setters in his opening two matches and will have the backing of the home crowd as he takes on Vasek Pospisil on Saturday.

Pospisil dug deep in his first match against Vincent Milllot winning 6-3 in the fifth before taking out Fabio Fognini on Thursday.

This match has all the makings of a classic encounter.

Ward leads their head-to-head 1-0.

Match Time: Around 7 pm IST.

4. Gael Monfils Vs Gilles Simon

It is an all French clash as Gael Monfils faces Gilles Simon in the third round. Monfils has looked good on grass thus far after pulling out of Halle due to an injury. He won both his first matches here at Wimbledon in straight sets and looks to continue the same against Simon.

Simon dropped a set against Blaz Kavcic in the second round, but has a good record against Monfils. He leads 5-1, with Monfils’ only win coming way back in 2012 at Montpellier.

Monfils will entertain crowds with his antics, but can we get a W against his name?

Match Time: Around 9:30 pm IST.

3. Garbine Muguruza Vs Angelique Kerber

This one promises to be an exciting match. Angelique Kerber reached the quarterfinals here last year and has registered two impressive wins already this year including a double bagel Carina Witthoeft in the first round.

Garbine Muguruza has also looked solid despite dropping a set against Mirjana Lucic Baroni in the second round. Both players are good from the baseline and one should expect a lot of grinding rallies coupled with some brilliant winners.

Kerber leads the rivalry 3-1, but Muguruza got the better of the German at this year’s Frenc Open.

Match Time: 4 pm IST.

2. Jelena Jankovic Vs Petra Kvitova

Another blockbuster match in the women’s draw pits former World No.1 Jelena Jankovic against defending champion Petra Kvitova.

The Czech won both her matches comfortably including two bagels in both rounds. Jankovic, on the other hand has gone the distance in both her matches.

Kvitova holds the edge in this matchup as the No. 4 seed leads their rivalry 4-2, two of which came this year.

Match Time: Around 7:30 pm IST.

1. Ivo Karlovic Vs Jo-Wilfried Tsonga

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga came through a tough opener against Gilles Muller, but looked comfortable in his straight sets dismissal of Albert Ramos Vinolas in Round 2. Ico Karlovic was stretched all the way in the fifth by Alexandr Dolgopolov, but the Croat won 13-11 in the fifth.

This match is likely to contain a lot of aces with both serving extremely well thus far in the tournament.

The rivalry is tied at 1-1, with Tsonga being the last victor at the 2009 wimbledon Championships.
