The 2023 Wimbledon will run from July 3rd to 16th and the ATP draw for the tournament is already known.
Without a doubt, the third Grand Slam of the season is the most prestigious one, and one where history was made in the past. Novak Djokovic was certainly part of that history, and he may write another chapter of his book in 2023.
Last year, the Serb won his 21st Grand Slam title and fourth consecutive Wimbledon trophy, and he will be on his quest to defend it this year and tie all-time Grand Slam record by winning his 24th major.
But he won't be the top seed in the draw. The second-seeded Djokovic will begin his journey against Pedro Cachin, after playing one warm-up match before the tournament. If there will be someone to challenge the defending champion, it will be the first-seeded Carlos Alcaraz.
The Spaniard will start his tournament against Jeremy Chardy. Daniil Medvedev, who was forced to miss the 2022 edition of the tournament, will be seeded third, starting against Arthur Fery in the first round of the tournament.
Casper Ruud had a very interesting preparation for this year's Wimbledon, spending more time on the golf course than on the grass tennis court. The Norwegian will be seeded fourth at the tournament, starting against Laurent Lokoli in the first round.
Last year's finalist, Nick Kyrgios, also didn't have an ideal preparation. But that's because of an injury, however, the Australian will be still considered as one of the contenders, taking on David Goffin in the first round.
Youngsters Holger Rune and Jannik Sinner should be also considered when talking about the favourites for the event. While the young Dane will play against George Loffhagen, the Italian will meet Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the opening round.
Matteo Berrettini, who is the 2021 finalist, will have to face his nightmare in the first round as he will take on Lorenzo Sonego. The Italian, who has been injured a lot recently, played against his fellow compatriot in Stuttgart, winning only three games, and eventually leaving the court in tears.
Alexander Zverev is another interesting name in the draw and the German will start against qualifier Gijs Brouwer in the first round. The 10th-seeded Frances Tiafoe, on the other hand, will meet always-tough Yibing Wu.
In his first Wimbledon, and already as a seeded player, Ben Shelton will play against Taro Daniel. The highest-ranked American in the draw, Taylor Fritz, will face a difficult challenge as in-form Yannick Hanfmann will stand in his way.
One of the most interesting first-round matches will see the fifth-seeded Stefanos Tsitsipas take on the 2020 US Open champion Dominic Thiem, while three-time major winner Andy Murray will play against fellow Brit Ryan Peniston.
The seventh-seeded Andrey Rublev found himself in Djokovic's quarter, starting against Max Purcell in the first round of the tournament. In the same part is also the eleventh-seeded Felix Auger-Aliassime who will play against Filip Krajinovic. To see the full draw for the 2023 Wimbledon, be sure to check it out below.
