Wimbledon 2022 is upon us with the main-draw singles play commencing on Monday 27 June. This will be the 135th edition of The Championships, which this year, is celebrating 100 years of Centre Court and the All England Lawn Tennis Club moving to its current home on Church Road.

The AELTC announced the list of seeds on Tuesday with Novak Djokovic and Rafa Nadal occupying the top two positions in the men’s section, closely followed by Casper Ruud, Stefanos Tsitsipa, Carlos Alcaraz and Matteo Berretini. Serena Williams has been awarded a wildcard entry for singles but four-time grand slam winner Naomi Osaka won’t be taking part this year after withdrawing with an Achilles injury. Poland’s Iga Swiatek heads the women’s seeds, she is followed by Anett Kontaveit, Ons Jabeur, Paula Badosa and Maria Sakkari.

There will be no participants from Russia or Belarus this year due to the two countries’ ongoing involvement in the invasion of Ukraine. The decision means that Daniil Medvedev, Andrey Rublev, Karen Khachanov and Aryna Sabalenka won’t be taking part.
