Top seed Jannik Sinner and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz headline Monday’s schedule at Wimbledon, where Daniil Medvedev will also be in action on Day 1 of main draw play. Seven-time winner Novak Djokovic will begin his title quest Tuesday.
Alcaraz holds the honours of Wimbledon’s tradition — the previous year’s champion kickstarts the tournament. The top half of the draw will play Monday, when third seed Alcaraz faces Estonian qualifier Mark Lajal.
Sinner, who is the top seed at a major for the first time, will start against Yannick Hanfmann. The Italian is aiming for his second major title after triumphing at the Australian Open in January.
Among other matches Monday, Medvedev, World No. 5 in the PIF ATP Rankings, meets American Aleksandar Kovacevic, eighth seed Casper Ruud goes against Alex Bolt and 10th seed Grigor Dimitrov faces Dusan Lajovic.
Djokovic begins his 19th appearance at the All England Club Tuesday. The Serbian starts against Czech qualifier Vit Kopriva. Djokovic is aiming to tie Roger Federer for the most Wimbledon titles (8) and become the oldest champion (37).
Alexander Zverev, Andrey Rublev, Hubert Hurkacz, Alex de Minaur and Stefanos Tsitsipas will also be in action Tuesday, as will two-time champion Andy Murray in what is likely his final showing at his home Slam.
