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

Wimbledon

The 2023 edition runs from Monday, July 3rd until Sunday, July 16th. After overtaking Rafa Nadal’s collection of 22 Grand Slam singles titles to become the most decorated male tennis player of all time, victory this month for Novak Djokovic would make it five Wimbledon victories in a row. Unlike the men’s game, the women’s singles competition is less predictable (there have been nine different players in the last five finals). Among the favourites will be last year’s champion, Elena Rybakina, and current world number one, Iga Swiatek. – BBC & Premier Sports

British Grand Prix

The Formula One season is almost already at the halfway stage, with Silverstone being the 10th location on the 2023 calendar. There is something special about the British event, with it and the Italian Grand Prix being the only two grands prix staged during every season that the world championship has been held. Max Verstappen, who has dominated the sport in recent years, is already more than halfway to claiming the drivers’ title again. – Sky Sports & Channel 4

Hurling Championship

It’s early July so that must mean it’s time for the All-Ireland senior hurling semi-finals. That still sounds strange. But, ready or not, the semi-finals take place next Saturday and Sunday, with Limerick versus Galway and Kilkenny versus Clare. Can any team stop Limerick drive for four-in-a-row? – RTE & BBC
