With the dust hardly settled from the clay-court season, the gaze of the tennis world has already turned to Wimbledon for the third grand slam of the year.
The tournament, which gets underway on Monday, was wrapped in controversy weeks before a ball was due to be hit at SW19 with organizers banning Russian and Belarusian players amid the war in Ukraine. That decision led the ATP and WTA Tours, the governing bodies of men's and women's tennis, to strip this year's Wimbledon of ranking points, but that hasn't deterred the world's best players from taking part.
Nadal, Djokovic headline men's drawOn the men's side, the top two players in the world rankings will be absent -- Daniil Medvedev due to the ban on Russian players and Alexander Zverev due to a long-term injury sustained at the French Open. That means few would look past Nadal and Djokovic for this year's title, with the Spaniard looking to win his third consecutive grand slam title. Djokovic faced Felix Auger-Aliassime at London's Hurlingham Club earlier this week.
