A glance at Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam tennis tournament of 2022:

Lookahead to Monday

Wimbledon gets started Monday with top-seeded Novak Djokovic facing 75th-ranked Kwon Soonwoo of South Korea in the tournament’s first Centre Court match. Djokovic begins his bid for a fourth consecutive title at Wimbledon and seventh overall. He also can claim his 21st career Grand Slam trophy. A victory would be Djokovic’s 80th at the All England Club, which would make him the first man or woman to have won at least that many matches at each of the four major tournaments.

The rest of the Centre Court schedule will delight the locals: Britain’s Emma Raducanu, who won the U.S. Open at age 18 last September, will face Alison Van Utyvanck of Belgium, before Britain’s Andy Murray, a three-time major champion, including at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, meets James Duckworth of Australia.

Other past Grand Slam title winners slated to play on Day One include Angelique Kerber, Stan Wawrinka and Jelena Ostapenko.

Seedings

Iga Swiatek is seeded No. 1 in the women’s draw; Novak Djokovic is seeded No. 1 in the men’s draw. The seedings follow the WTA and ATP rankings.

That is why Serena Williams, who has won seven of her 23 Grand Slam singles championships at Wimbledon, is not seeded — her ranking is outside the top 1,200 because she has not played a singles match since a year ago at the All England Club.

Djokovic is ranked No. 3, and Rafael Nadal is ranked No. 4, but they moved up to 1-2 in the seedings because the top two men in the rankings, Daniil Medvedev and Alexander Zverev, are not in the field. Medevev is Russian and all players from that country and Belarus were barred from participating by the All England Club over the war in Ukraine.
