Gentlemen’s singles draw has been made for Wimbledon, the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.
The third Grand Slam of the season and the only one played on grass will take place from June 29 to July 12 at the iconic All England Lawn Tennis Club.
A competitive field of 128 players will battle it out for the legendary trophy and 2,000 ATP rankings points.
Seven-time champion Novak Djokovic (seeded no.7), making his 21st appearance in London, will kick off his campaign against Yibing Wu (CHN, ATP no.99).
Should he advance, Novak could face the winner of the clash between Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE) and Hugo Gaston (FRA) in the second round.
Novak’s projected path to the title:
3rd round: Arthur Rinderknech (FRA, 25)
4th round: Andrey Rublev (RUS, 12), Joao Fonseca (BRA, 24)
Quarter-finals: Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN, 3), Lerner Tien (USA, 16), Cameron Norrie (GBR, 26)
Semi-finals: Jannik Sinner (ITA, 1), Daniil Medvedev (RUS, 8) Casper Ruud (NOR, 11)
Final: Alexander Zverev (GER, 2), Taylor Fritz (USA, 6), Frances Tiafoe (USA, 17), Karen Khachanov (RUS, 19)
Novak won The Championships trophy in 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2022. Last year he fell to Jannik Sinner in the semi-final (3-6, 2-6, 4-6).
