In his pursuit of a record-equalling eighth Wimbledon championship, Novak Djokovic is set to kick off his campaign against Argentina’s Pedro Cachin.
A potential rematch of last year’s final against Nick Kyrgios looms in the quarter-finals, adding to the excitement of the tournament.
If Kyrgios fails to advance, Djokovic could potentially face Andrey Rublev or Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals. The projected semi-final clash for Djokovic would be against either Jannik Sinner or Casper Ruud, both formidable opponents. Djokovic recently emerged victorious against Ruud in the French Open final earlier this month.
Meanwhile, top seed and world number one Carlos Alcaraz, who clinched victory at Queen’s Club last week, aims to make his mark on the grass. Alcaraz will begin his Wimbledon journey against Jeremy Chardy but faces a challenging path to the latter stages.
A potential rematch of the Queen’s final against Alex de Minaur awaits in the fourth round, with world number six Holger Rune looming in the quarter-finals.
The men’s first round features an exciting clash between fifth seed Stefanos Tsitsipas and former US Open champion Dominic Thiem. The winner of this high-profile match could potentially face two-time champion Andy Murray, who is set to take on wild card Ryan Peniston.
In the women’s draw, top seed Iga Swiatek, despite withdrawing from the Bad Homburg semi-finals due to suspected food poisoning, finds herself in the more favourable half.
Swiatek will begin her campaign against China’s Zhu Lin, with a projected quarter-final showdown against Coco Gauff. Jessica Pegula or Caroline Garcia could potentially await in the semi-finals.
The bottom half of the women’s draw boasts defending champion Elena Rybakina, world number two Aryna Sabalenka, and last year’s finalist Ons Jabeur, promising fierce competition.
A thrilling first-round clash awaits between five-time winner Venus Williams and fellow wild card Elina Svitolina, adding to the excitement of the tournament from the start.
The highly anticipated Wimbledon tournament commences on Monday, July 3, marking the third edition of the season.
