Three sporting events to watch this week: Your handy guide to sport on television

Guide to sport on television (Monday – Sunday, July 1st – 7th)

Tennis

The sport’s most prestigious major takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London this week and next. Ons Jabeur was runner-up in the last two women’s singles finals at Wimbledon, and will be eager to take the final step this time. Standing in her way will be quality players such as Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka and French Open winner Iga Świątek. Carlos Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in a thrilling men’s singles decider last year, and both will surely be in the reckoning again this time – though reigning Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner will have something to say about that. – BBC & Premier Sports, July 1st-14th

Motor racing

Unsurprisingly, for fans of Formula One, Max Verstappen has dominated the 2024 F1 season so far, the Red Bull Racing driver leading the Championship standings. Regardless, the British Grand Prix in Silverstone will have home fans hoping for strong performances from English drivers, Lando Norris (McLaren) – who won the Miami Grand Prix in May – George Russell and Lewis Hamilton (both Mercedes). – Sky Sports & Channel 4, Friday-Sunday

Rowing

Probably the most famous regatta in the world, there are more than 400 races scheduled for the River Thames, by the town of Henley-on-Thames, scheduled for this week. Included among the entries for this edition of the Henley Royal Regatta are representatives of University College Dublin, University College Cork, St Michael’s RC and Skibbereen RC. – TNT Sports, Friday-Sunday
