WIMBLEDON 2010,Day 3 schedule:Watch Federer and Roddick today
Roddick will have the honour of opening action on the show court against Frenchman Michael Llodra. He will be followed on court by Venus Williams and Novak Djokovic.
WEDNESDAY BRINGS the struggling Roger Federer back on court and all of Wimbledon is waiting to see if the defending champion can finally shake off the rust to mount a meaningful defence of the title he won last year against Andy Roddick.
 
Roddick will have the honour of opening action on the show court against Frenchman Michael Llodra. He will be followed on court by Venus Williams and Novak Djokovic.

Federer will play the final match of the day against Ilija Bozoljac of Serbia. Indians know him as Harsh Mankad's doubles partner, but as of Monday his claim to fame is his defeat of former Olympic gold medalist, Nicolas Massu.

Turning our attention to the women, the reigning queen of Wimbldeon, Venus Williams will ensure she plays her part in keeping upsets at bay. Ekaterina Makarova might be the conqueror of Eastbourne and given her rich vein of form, the first set of this match is definitely going to be entertaining to watch.
 
Both the Belgian superstars will also be in action. Kim Clijsters plays Karolina Sprem to open up proceedings and Justine Henin does likewise when she takes on Kristina Barrois. Sprem is mostly known around Wimbledon as the girl who benefitted from a grevious umpiring error when she took on Venus Williams 6 years ago. Kim Clijsters is mostly known the world over for orchestrating one of the most successful comebacks of all time.

From an Indian perspective Sania Mirza and Caroline Wozniacki take on the British pair of Anne Keothavang and Melanie South in the Ladies Doubles. Somdev Devvarman pairs up with Filipino Treat Conrad Huey to take on the Indo-Pak duo of Rohan Bopanna and Aisam-Ul-Haq Qureshi, a match that has been rescheduled from Day 2. And finally the grand old men of Indian tennis, Mahesh Bhupathi (with Max Mirnyi) and Leander Paes (with Lucas Dlouhy) play their opening doubles matches. Bhupathi and Mirnyi take on Maximo Gonzalez and Sebastien Preito while Paes and Dlouhy take on Rik De Voest and Mischa Zverev.

Plenty of action to look forward to on Day 3, especially with Roger Federer looking to redeem himself with a classy display.
