This led to several fans complaining about the projected matches, with some fans believing the Serbian had a more favorable draw than the Spaniard.

"Lmao they gifted the tournament to Djokovic but it’s fine. Only people that have a chance against him on grass is Alcaraz, Zverev, and Sinner at this point," wrote one fan.

"As expected lol. I guess Wimbledon is happy to see the same 36 year old man win their tournament 5 times in a row. How *exciting," said another fan.
