The Wimbledon tennis championships begin Monday, July 1, with star-studded draws on both sides.

On the men’s side, the world awaits the statuses of Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray, who are in the draw despite coming off of major surgeries. If both are ready to play next week, the seven-time champion Djokovic will face the Czech Republic’s Vit Kopriva, while three-time champion Murray will face Czech Thomas Machac. Defending Wimbledon men’s champion Carlos Alcaraz will open against Estonia qualifier Mark Lajal on Monday, with the potential to face top-seeded Italian Jannik Sinner if both advance to the semis.

The women’s draw features the No. 1 player in the world, Iga Swiatek, who is coming off of a 19-match winning streak that dates back to April. She will face American Sofia Kenin in the first-round on Monday. Swiatek is not in the same half as No. 2 Coco Gauff, who opens Wimbledon against Caroline Dolehide. Gauff’s side of the draw includes former World No. 1’s Naomi Osaka and Victoria Azarenka. Additionally, defending women’s champion Marketa Vondrousova will square off against Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro in round one, with the possibility of facing fellow Czech Barbora Krejcikova in the third round.

Here is the schedule, key matchups, and singles seeds for Wimbledon 2024.
