2024 Wimbledon Men's Draw confirmed: Find out fate of Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz here

The men's draw has been confirmed for the 2024 Wimbledon Championships with the latest Grand Slam set to take place between July 1-14, 2024 headlined by Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz was crowned the champion 12 months ago defeating Novak Djokovic in the final snapping a six year streak in favour of the 24-time Grand Slam champion at the tournament. It is a different complexion for both this time around. Alcaraz has won another Grand Slam in the recent French Open and despite losing to Jack Draper at Queen's looks equipped for his defence. Whilst Djokovic is a doubt. He is entered into the draw and has been wearing a knee brace. But his participation could yet be in doubt given how miraculous his recovery was.

Jannik Sinner also navigates his first Grand Slam as top seed. He is the World No.1 and also recently won Halle so is in a good position himself. He faces Yannick Hanfmann in the opening round. But could find a grass court roadblock awaiting him in Matteo Berrettini in the second round. The Italian a former finalist is very good on grass and so Sinner will have to put on a show.

Novak Djokovic on the other hand will face Vit Kopriva in a draw he will like with either Jacob Fearnley or Alejandro Moro Canos in the second round. So he will likely feel better about playing after his recent injury woes.

Daniil Medvedev opens up as the fourth seed taking on Aleksandar Kovacevic. While Alcaraz as defending champion will start his title defence against a qualifier in Mark Lajal. It is a pretty good section for the Spaniard who then could face Aleksandar Vukic or Sebastian Ofner. The main seed in his part of the draw is Frances Tiafoe who recently got injured at Queen's and others are out of form currently.

Carlos Alcaraz is defending champion at SW19 defeating Novak Djokovic last year in the final.

Queen's champion Tommy Paul opens against Pedro Martinez with a tie against Otto Virtanen or Max Purcell in his future. Casper Ruud sits as the eighth seed albeit on a surface he'd rather play golf on. He hasn't played this grass court season albeit he hasn't spent his time at The Weeknd concerts either. He faces Alex Bolt to open his tournament.

Taylor Fritz could face Kei Nishikori in the second round. If both get through Christopher O'Connell and Arthur Rinderknech. Jack Draper after his excellence at Queen's and Stuttgart is now seeded and will face Elias Ymer. He then could face Cameron Norrie in a tie that likely BBC in the UK will be salivating over.

While Alexander Zverev opens against Roberto Carballes Baena so he didn't get Andy Murray or the like to begin a sort of retirement tour after beating Rafael Nadal. Instead the former World No.1 if he does play with the Brit being the big draw doubt he will face Tomas Machac in what could be his big Wimbledon farewell. Holger Rune will face off against Soonwoo Kwon and could face Mallorca standout Paul Jubb or Thiago Seyboth Wild.
