Wimbledon 2023: The third Grand Slam of the year Wimbledon Championships will kick start on Monday, July 3. The world’s top players in both Men’s and Women’s category will compete for the prestigious title. World No.1 Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek will lead the action in singles in the tournament. Both the players are coming off after winning the French Open title. They are aiming for their second successive Grand Slam titles. The final of the tournament is scheduled on 16th June 2023.
WHO IS INVOLVED IN WIMBLEDON?
* The top-ranked players automatically enter the main draw with 32 seeds announced prior to the draw to ensure they do not meet in the early rounds. From the 2021 Championships, seedings for the men’s and ladies’ singles are based on world rankings.
* Novak Djokovic is the men’s world number one after claiming a 23rd Grand Slam title at the French Open. He will be defending his 2022 title.
* Poland’s Iga Swiatek, the French Open and U.S. Open champion, is the women’s world number one. Swiatek’s best finish at Wimbledon was in 2021, when she made the fourth round.
* Elena Rybakina is the defending women’s champion.
One of the major highlight of the tournament is the permission for Russian and Belarusian players to take part in Wimbledon this year. Players from the two countries were banned from last year’s tournament following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
