Wimbledon Tennis 2014 Live Stream Online, Match Times, Schedule: Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer in Action on Day 4
Rafael Nadal and Roger Federer will look to move one step closer to winning one more grand slam title when they see action in Day 4 of this year's Wimbledon in London.
The second-seeded Nadal, who struggled in his tournament opener on Tuesday, will face Lukas Rosol of Czech Republic in the second round of the tournament.
Nadal, who recently won his ninth French Open title, was far from his best form in his first-round showdown against Martin Klizan, losing in the first set, 4-6, before taking the next three sets, 6-3, 6-3, 6-3.
The current world No. 1, who won the Wimbledon in 2008 and 2010, admitted that he felt rusty in his first game back on the grass court.
"I really know it is impossible to play my best in the first round," Federer said via ESPN UK. "For sure the next round will be tough. The last three years I did not play much on grass and that affects your rhythm and confidence."
And against Rosol, Nadal insisted that he needs to be at his best in order to avoid an upset, saying that 28-year-old Czech is capable of beating the top players in the tournament.
"Lukas Rosol is a very dangerous player," Nadal said. "Very strong and powerful. I will have to play very well if I am to win."
On the other hand, fourth-seeded Roger Federer will look to pick up from where he left off in the opening round, when he faces Gilles Muller in the second round.
Federer, who has not won a grand slam title since the 2012 Wimbledon, opened his campaign with a 6-1, 6-1, 6-3 win over Paolo Lorenzi, defeating the Italian in just 93 minutes.
Seven-time Wimbledon champion Federer was contented with his performance in his opening match.
"Getting the first one out of the way is always a good feeling," Federer said. "I thought I played well, got a lot of breaks and served well. Walking down the tunnel I felt relaxed and happy to go on court but once you step out there you are ready and you do feel some pressure."
The Nadal-Rosol match is scheduled to start at 8 p.m. EST at the Centre Court followed by the showdown between Angelique Kerber and Heather Watson then the Federer-Muller match will start afterwards.
Fans can catch the action on ESPN/ESPN 2 and through online streaming via WatchESPN.
