Novak Djokovic, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, and Carlos Alcaraz are going to be the top-ranked players at Wimbledon later in June. Unfortunately, the prestigious slam has already lost at least 4 top ten10 players.
Daniil Medvedev and Andrey Rublev will not be allowed to play because of the controversial ban of players from Russia and Belorussia.
Rafael Nadal has just announced that he will take a break after the French Open so as to skip Wimbledon again. Sascha Zverev succumbed to a nasty ankle injury during the French Open semifinal and unfortunately it seems that he will be out for a long time.
