Novak Djokovic has landed in Jannik Sinner's half of the Wimbledon draw, while Taylor Fritz opens against Jack Draper in a first-round blockbuster.
Djokovic, a seven-time champion at the grass-court major, could meet the World No. 1 and defending champion Sinner in the semi-finals, with Roland Garros champion Alexander Zverev in the other half.
Seventh seed Djokovic will open against Wu Yibing and will play Stefanos Tsitsipas or Hugo Gaston in the second round if he wins his opener. The Serbian is seeded to meet Arthur Rinderknech in the third round, Andrey Rublev or Brazilian Joao Fonseca in the fourth round and third seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarter-finals.
Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz in the championship match last year and will meet Miomir Kecmanovic in the first round. The Italian will face the winner of Nuno Borges and Tristan Boyer in the second round. The 24-year-old is seeded to play Ignacio Buse in the third round and could meet #NextGenATP Spaniard Rafael Jodar or countryman Luciano Darderi in the fourth round.
Sinner’s seeded quarter-final opponent is Daniil Medvedev, who opens against 2017 finalist Marin Cilic. Sinner leads Medvedev 10-7 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series and has won 10 of their past 11 meetings.
Second seed Zverev will meet 21-year-old Belgian Alexander Blockx in the first round and would play the winner of British wild card Harry Wendelken or Frenchman Valentin Royer if he advances.
The German is seeded to face Roland Garros semi-finalist Matteo Arnaldi in the third round, Jiri Lehecka or Francisco Cerundolo in the fourth round and sixth seed Fritz in the quarter-finals. Fritz leads Zverev 10-5 in the pair’s Lexus ATP Head2Head series and has won their past seven matches, including at Wimbledon in 2024 and on grass in Halle this month. Fritz starts against former No. 4 player in the PIF ATP Rankings Draper, who returned to the Tour this week in Eastbourne.
