Top seed Novak Djokovic could face Carlos Alcaraz in a blockbuster quarterfinal clash, after the draw for Wimbledon was announced today.
The Serbian is looking to win a fourth consecutive title in London and will begin his defence against South Korean Soonwoo Kwon on Centre Court on Monday.
Rafa Nadal will start his bid for a 23rd Grand Slam against Argentine Francisco Cerundolo, with 2017 finalist Marin Cilic a potential fourth-round opponent.
Two other challengers, Matteo Berrettini and Stefanos Tsitsipas, could also clash in the quarterfinals.
Berrettini opens against Cristian Garin, while fourth-seeded Greek Tsitsipas plays Swiss qualifier Alexander Ritschard.
Fifth seed Alcaraz starts against Germany’s Jan-Lennard Struff and third seed Casper Ruud plays Albert Ramos-Vinolas.
Another threat, Hubert Hurkacz, begins against Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Other interesting first-round matches will see Nick Kyrgios against British wild card Paul Jubb, last year’s semi-finalist Denis Shapovalov against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech and Indian Wells champ Taylor Fritz against Italian Lorenzo Musetti.
