Roger Federer and Coco Gauff will both play on Wimbledon's Centre Court on the so-called "Manic Monday", which sees all 32 players left in both the men's and women's tournaments in action on the same day.
From next year "Manic Monday" will be no more as the Round of 16 action will be split over two days, but the day in its current iteration promises to go out with a bang with several mouth-watering contests in store.
Gauff's hopes of reaching the quarterfinals at Wimbledon for the first time in her short career will go through Centre Court, where the No. 20 seed will play Germany's Angelique Kerber.
The No. 25 seed, Kerber is the only former Wimbledon champion left in the women's tournament and had to come back from one set down against Belarus's Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the third round to win 2-6, 6-0, 6-1.
Gauff's meeting with Kerber is the only match of the women's tournament to be played on Centre Court on Monday. It also marks the third consecutive round the 17-year-old American has played on Wimbledon's main court just before Federer, a habit Gauff is getting used to.
"Part of the reason I was so nervous in my second-round match on Centre is because I saw he was following me again. Today I wasn't really nervous going in. I don't know why I was so nervous in my second round. I do definitely take note," she said in her press conference after her 6-3, 6-3 win over Slovenia's Kaja Juvan in the third round, as per ATP.com.
"It's pretty cool. I don't know, I like to think of it as opening up for [him]. Concerts, they have a big artist, then a smaller artist come before them. That's what I kind of like to think of it as. It's pretty cool."
Federer, meanwhile, kept his quest for a record ninth Wimbledon title alive after overcoming Britain's Cameron Norrie 6-4, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 on Saturday and will now face Italy's Lorenzo Sonego, the No. 23 seed, on Monday.
"I am very pleased," the 20-time Grand Slam champion said during an on-court interview after his third round win.
"Super relieved. [...] For me, I felt I was able to keep a very high level of play. Overall, I can be very happy with how I played."
