With the absence of number 1 and number 2 in the world: Daniil Medvedev due to the boycott of the Russians and Alexander Zverev, injured, Serbian Novak Djokovic will start as the first seed at Wimbledon, which will start on Monday 27.
Rafa Nadal will start as the second favorite, so the Serbian and the Majorcan will each go to one side of the draw. That means that they would only cross in a hypothetical final. For his part, Carlos Alcaraz will be the fifth seed while Roberto Bautista from Castellón will start as seventeenth. Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas will be the third and fourth seeds respectively. In the women’s draw, Paula Badosa starts as fourth favorite with number 1 Iga Swiatek as number 1. Sara Sorribes from Castellón closes the list of heads of series in position 32 with Garbiñe Muguruza in ninth position. The great absentee from Wimbledon will be Roger Federer that he will not be able to fight for a new title in his favorite tournament.
Both Rafa Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz trained yesterday on the courts of the All England Club. The Murcian, who was accompanied by his coach, the Valencian Juan Carlos Ferrero, trained with Stanislas Wawrinka.
Nadal debuts today in the Hurlingham exhibition tournament against the Swiss Stan Wawrinka, while his compatriot Carlos Alcaraz will debut tomorrow against an opponent yet to be confirmed.
