ATP Draw confirmed for 2022 Wimbledon: Defending champion Djokovic to face Kwon, Nadal opens against Cerundolo
ATP
The draw has been completed for 2022 Wimbledon which will take place between 27 June - 10 July at the All England Lawn & Tennis Club albeit without many of the big names involved on the Men's Side.
Roger Federer has been out since last year's tournament, while World No.1 Daniil Medvedev is among the banned players with World No.2 Alexander Zverev not there due to injury.
This leaves a field which features defending champion, Novak Djokovic who will massively drop in the rankings due to ranking points being stripped. But he will start his campaign against Soonwoo Kwon in London.
Rafael Nadal despite battling foot trouble will also be one of the leading lights when he faces Francisco Cerundolo as he chases a further Calendar Slam in a tournament he has not played in two years.
Carlos Alcaraz despite not playing any grass court tournaments in the lead up due to an injury incurred in Madrid which saw him have heavy strapping during defeat to Frances Tiafoe at the Hurlingham exhibition will head in as one of the favourites. He starts against Jan-Lennard Struff.

- I predicted whenthe list was finalised that Linda Noskova would win the WTA Finals and her matches against Gauff and Kostyuk prove that. She is the best (underrated) player in the world!Rapunzel11-11-2026
- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
