Ninth seed Cameron Norrie will begin his Wimbledon campaign against Spanish veteran Pablo Andujar, with Dan Evans set to face world No 98 Jason Kubler in the first round at SW19. There will be plenty of home favourites to cheer on at Wimbledon this year, with a large number of British stars poised to take part in the first round of the main draw. We're just 45 minutes away from the start of the draw and will be on hand to keep you updated with all the latest news from SW19 over the course of this morning. Djokovic will be looking to defend his men's title at the All England Club over the next couple of weeks, but there will be a new champion in the women's ranks following Ashleigh Barty's retirement earlier this year. Emma Raducanu is in the bottom half of the draw, meaning that she will avoid top seed Iga Swiatek until the final, if she manages to make it that far. Emma Raducanu will be tested from the get-go at Wimbledon this year, with Alison van Uytvanck set to provide her with a decent challenge in the very first round. She could be set to play fellow Brit Lily Miyazaki in the second round if she manages to avoid bowing out at the first hurdle. A slightly optimistic look at Andy Murray's route to the final shows that he could meet Novak Djokovic in the last eight at the All England Club this year. Rafael Nadal has won both Grand Slams in 2022 to date and will be hoping to make it a hat-trick by claiming the grand prize at Wimbledon over the coming weeks. Novak Djokovic will arguably be the favourite to defend his Wimbledon crown this year but will be hoping to avoid slipping up in a potential quarter-final meeting with Spanish starlet Carlos Alcaraz. This year's Wimbledon draw managed to throw up plenty of surprises ahead of the on-court action, which is set to get underway on Monday. Defending champion Novak Djokovic will begin his campaign against world No 75 Soonwoo Kwon, while Rafael Nadal will be tasked with downing Francisco Cerundolo in their first-round match-up at the All England Club. The two favourites for the title could meet in what would be an epic final at SW19.

At Wimbledon, Rafael Nadal bids for a third consecutive Grand Slam singles title and his first at the All England Club since 2010.

Nadal, on the other half of the draw, could play Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the quarterfinals. Djokovic could play 19-year-old Spanish phenom Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals. Djokovic is the top seed, replacing top-ranked Daniil Medvedev, who cannot play Wimbledon due to the tournament banning Russian and Belarusian players for the war in Ukraine.

Emma Raducanu missed practice ahead of her match against Alison Van Uytvanck while Andy Murray and Serena Williams were both handed favourable opening ...

At the French Open last month, she defeated the then No.3 Maria Sakkari in the second round before retiring in the third round after rolling her ankle. Great Britain’s Paul Jubb, meanwhile, will have the opportunity of facing Nick Kyrgios in the opening round. In defending champion Ashleigh Barty’s absence, Wimbledon announced that Swiatek will open up the second day of play on Centre Court. Sixth seed Karolina Pliskova could face Williams in the third round. Duckworth has lost his last nine ATP main draw matches and he missed four months of this season due to injury. In 2018, the Belgian defeated the defending champion Muguruza en route to the fourth round.

In her return to the singles court after a year away, the 23-time Grand Slam champion will open against unseeded Frenchwoman Harmony Tan in the first round.

When you look at Swiatek, Jabeur, some of the players that can challenge the top or can win Grand Slams. I'm always thinking you have to have low expectations. I can't tell how the movement is from side to side, from up to back. All the other players have gotten better over the last year. I think that when you don't play for a long time, your instincts, it takes a while for your tennis instincts and your tennis IQ to come back. The power is there. After that, Williams, 40, could face No. 32 seed Sara Sorribes Tormo or American Christina McHale, and then No. 6 Karolina Pliskova in the third.
