Monday is the second day of fourth-round singles at the All England Club, and Italy has two players in the spotlight. Paolini is chasing confirmation after building momentum through the opening week, while Cobolli is hunting a rematch against an opponent who has won both of their completed meetings, though the Roman has improved sharply since 2024.
Key Takeaways
- Paolini (13th seed) vs Eala (29th seed) opens Centre Court at roughly 1:30 p.m. UK; Cobolli (9th seed) vs de Minaur (5th seed) opens No. 1 Court at about 1:00 p.m. UK.
- Eala upset Iga Swiatek in round three and beat Paolini in Dubai in February, their only prior meeting.
- Cobolli and de Minaur meet in the first Wimbledon match this year between two top-10 seeds; de Minaur leads the head-to-head.
- Italian viewers can watch on Sky Sport channels, with streaming via NOW TV and Sky Go.
- Quarter-final berths would extend both players' breakthrough grass-court runs at a disrupted Championships.
When does Jasmine Paolini play on Monday?
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, No. 13 seed Jasmine Paolini opens the Centre Court program at 2:30 p.m. Italian time against No. 29 seed Alexandra Eala of the Philippines. That slot is the headline Italian matchup on the women's side of day eight.
Eala arrives on a hot streak after eliminating defending champion Iga Swiatek in the third round. The left-hander plays with pace changes and bold shot-making that could trouble Paolini, who has nonetheless looked sharper with each match this fortnight.
The pair have met once: Eala won in Dubai this February. Paolini needs this win to stay alive in a women's draw that has already lost multiple top seeds.
What time is Cobolli vs de Minaur?
Flavio Cobolli is scheduled first on No. 1 Court at 2:00 p.m. Italian time, about 1:00 p.m. UK, per La Gazzetta and Goal.com. After beating Karen Khachanov to reach the round of 16, the No. 9 seed faces No. 5 Alex de Minaur in the first Wimbledon clash pairing two top-10 players in 2026.
De Minaur leads 2-0 in completed matches, including a straight-sets win at the 2024 Australian Open. Cobolli's best result in the rivalry came in Vienna, where de Minaur retired in their most recent meeting. Cobolli is targeting back-to-back Wimbledon quarter-finals.
Where can you watch Paolini and Cobolli live?
Goal.com reports that Cobolli–de Minaur airs on Sky Sport Uno (channel 201) and Sky Sport Tennis (channel 203). La Gazzetta adds that Wimbledon coverage is available on Sky Sport and streamed via NOW TV, with Sky Go for subscribers and NOW's Sport Pass for others.

Why do these Monday matches matter?
Both Italians are chasing quarter-final spots at a tournament where favourites have already exited. Eala's win over Swiatek has left Paolini's section more open, while Cobolli faces a top contender in de Minaur on a surface where the Australian excels.
A strong Monday would put two Italian players into the Wimbledon last eight on the same day—a rare sight at the Championships and a sign of how far both have raised their level on grass.
