While the schedule for the first day of this year’s Wimbledon tennis tournament, which will open on the 27th at the All England Club in Wimbledon, England, was announced on the 26th (Korean time), Kwon Soon-woo will meet with Djokovic at 9:30 pm for the first match on the center court.
The day game starts at 1:30 PM local time.
Djokovic is the winner of last year’s Wimbledon, and has won the tournament six times, including 2011, 2014, 2015, 2018, and 2019.
Last year, they swept the Australian Open, French Open, and Wimbledon, but this year they gave up the Australian Open and French Open titles earlier this year to Rafael Nadal (4th place, Spain).
He arrived in Australia to participate in the Australian Open in January, but the start of the season was not good, such as not being able to play due to not being vaccinated once morest the new coronavirus infection (COVID-19).
This season’s championship was once at the Roma Masters on the men’s professional tennis (ATP) tour held on a clay court in May.
Kwon Soon-woo is looking forward to the third round of last year’s French Open (round of 32), his best record in major tournaments, but he met a strong player from the first round.
In this year’s major tournaments, she achieved results in the second round of the Australian Open in January and the first round of the French Open in May.
In the first round of the French Open, he met Andrei Rublev (Russia), who was ranked 7th in the world at the time, and Djokovic was decided as the opponent in the first round at Wimbledon.
Kwon Soon-woo has also been eliminated in the first round of three consecutive tournaments since the French Open, so it’s not a very good trend, but if he plays well once morest Djokovic, he can change the mood recently.
Kwon Soon-woo and Djokovic met their opponents in the round of 16 of the Serbian Open, a clay court competition, in April last year, and Djokovic won 2-0 (6-1 6-3).
The winner of the first round between Kwon Soon-woo and Djokovic will meet the winner of the second round in the match between Nassi Kokinakis (82nd, Australia) and Camille Mykrzak (91st, Poland).
