They all know now what awaits them. The draw for the ladies’ and men’s singles draws took place on Friday at Wimbledon, and it was rather lenient for Novak Djokovic, four-time defending champion, and Iga Swiatek, seeded number 1. The Serb thus inherited in his part of the table of Casper Ruud, Andrey Rublev and Jannik Sinner, while Carlos Alcaraz will have to do with Holger Rune, Daniil Medvedev and Stefanos Tsitsipas. The Polish, she might possibly challenge Caroline Garcia in half, but will not meet her rivals Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina or Ons Jabeur before the final.
Is it the luck of the champion? One thing is certain, Novak Djokovic should not complain regarding the potential course reserved for him at the All England Club where he hopes to equal Roger Federer’s record of 8 coronations this year. First opposed Monday on the Center Court to the Argentinian Pedro Cachin, the Serb will probably be entitled to an interesting rise in power: he might then continue once morest Brandon Nakashima (or Jordan Thompson), then Tomas Martin Etcheverry, quarter-de- recent finalist at Roland-Garros, before a possible first big test once morest Lorenzo Musetti in the 8th. While his margin is already spectacular, Jannik Sinner is on paper his most dangerous opponent before the final, given the references of Casper Ruud and Andrey Rublev on grass.

Tsitisipas – Thiem and a Son rematch – Davidovich Fokina entry
For Carlos Alcaraz, however, it’s a different story. Admittedly, the Spaniard should not make a mountain of his entry into the running on Tuesday once morest Jérémy Chardy. But admitting that he gets through the first week without too much difficulty with potentially other French people on his way (Arthur Rinderknech in the 2nd round, Ugo Humbert in the 3rd), the second looks more than full-bodied. A rematch of the Queens final once morest Alex de Minaur might come in the round of 16, before a clash of the new generation once morest Holger Rune or an explosive duel once morest Frances Tiafoe. And theoretically, Daniil Medvedev or Stefanos Tsitsipas – who however have never been so far at Wimbledon – would be waiting for him in half. A journey strewn with pitfalls.
Tsitsipas, moreover, will be entitled to a 1st gala round once morest Dominic Thiem, even if the Austrian is still far from his best level. The winner is likely to find Andy Murray in the second round, if the latter defeats his compatriot Ryan Peniston. Among the other posters to report from the start, the revenge between Arthur Fils and Alejandro Davidovich Fokina makes your mouth water, as well as the 100% Italian clash between Lorenzo Sonego and a Matteo Berrettini in distress recently. We will also watch the entry into the running of Nick Kyrgios, whose physical condition worries, once morest David Goffin. If the Aussie goes far, he might cross swords with Djokovic in the quarter-finals for a repeat of the 2022 final.
A hell of a low part for the ladies
As for these ladies, the lower part of the table is by far the highest on paper. The finalists of the 2022 edition Elena Rybakina and Ons Jabeur are part of it, as well as Aryna Sabalenka and the colony of Czech outsiders to the final victory: Petra Kvitova, Barbora Krejcikova and Karolina Muchova who made Iga Swiatek tremble in the final of Roland-Garros a few weeks ago. The Polish world number 1 can rejoice on her side. While she has never passed the round of 16 at Wimbledon, she will in all likelihood be entitled to an affordable first week, if however her illness, which forced her to withdraw from Bad Homburg, does not diminish her.
There will only be four Frenchwomen in the table. In addition to Caroline Garcia, who will be opposed to the American Katie Volynets, 123rd in the world, in the 1st round, Diane Parry, Alizé Cornet and Varvara Gracheva (recently naturalized) will be in the big picture, respectively confronted with Harriet Dart, Danka Kovinic and Camila Giorgi . Finally, note an expected clash of entry between Venus Williams, 43, and Elina Svitolina, both invited by the organization.
