Wimbledon is finally about to come back after the prestigious major was not staged in 2020 because of the global pandemic.
Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, and Jannik Sinner will be among the top players to watch on the men’s side on Monday.
Novak Djokovic is about to chase his Wimbledon no.6 that would also be his 20th slam. He will commence his run at the Championships against local favorite Jack Draper. Novak will play at 1.30 on Centre Court.
Stefanos Tsitsipas will have a tough task in the first round since he will play Frances Tiafoe, a rather unpredictable player with huge potential. The H2H is 2-0 for the Greek.
Andrey Rublev had a good run recently in Halle where he reached the final before losing to Ugo Humber. He will face Federico Delbonis in the first round.
Jannik Sinner is one of the most interesting youngsters playing this Wimbledon. While it is quite clear his potential on hard and clay-courts, his tennis level on grass needs to be seen. He will face Marton Fucsovics in the first round.
Here the full draw with the order of play.
