The match will close out the schedule on Court 4 and is expected to begin shortly before midnight.
Sakkari holds the upper hand in their head-to-head record against Rahimova, having won all three of their previous matches against the Russian.
The winner will advance to the round of 32, where a particularly difficult challenge awaits her. There, she will face either Iga Swiatek, who is coming off a title win in Montreal, or the Colombian Emiliana Arango, No. 95 in the world rankings.
