Unlike the strongest ATP 500 or the Masters 1000, the magic of the Grand Slams allow greater surprises in the first rounds due to the large number of players (128) who can play the main draw. Beyond the fact that the ‘top’ cannot be crossed in the initial instances, the draw of Wimbledon left more than interesting duels for the initial days of competition.
In the male painting The clashes between: Ugo Humbert and Nick Kyrgios (they had an epic battle in Australia), Daniel Evans and Feliciano López (two specialists on the surface), Stefanos Tsitsipas and Frances Tiafoe (a contender for the title, but without preparation in tournaments of grass against the Nottingham Challenger champion), Alex De Miñaur and Sebastian Korda (Next Gen crossing), Sam Querrey and Pablo Carreño, Daniil Medvedev and Jan-Lennard Struff (the Russian will face the player everyone wanted to avoid in a beginning) and Roger Federer and Adrian Mannarino (to see the Swiss again in “the courtyard of his house” against a complex rival on grass).
In the female painting It will be necessary to reserve the schedule so as not to miss the last performance of Carla Suárez Navarro in the third Grand Slam of the season against Ashleigh Barty. In addition, they will be unmissable: Barbora Krejcikova vs. Clara Tauson, Kiki Bertens vs. Marta Kostyuk, Bianca Andreescu vs. Alize Cornet, Karolina Pliskova vs. Tamara Zidansek, Petra Kvitova vs. Sloane Stephens and Iga Swiatek vs. Su-Wei Hsieh.
