SCHEDULE
Play begins Monday at what will now be a scheduled 14-day tournament for the first time, because there will be play on the middle Sunday, traditionally a day of rest. There are no night sessions, unlike at the other three Grand Slam tournaments. The women's singles final is Saturday, July 9; the men's singles final is Sunday, July 10.
LOOKAHEAD TO MONDAY
Wimbledon gets started Monday with top-seeded Novak Djokovic facing 75th-ranked Kwon Soon-woo of South Korea in the tournament's first Centre Court match. Djokovic begins his bid for a fourth consecutive title at Wimbledon and seventh overall. He also can claim his 21st career Grand Slam trophy. A victory would be Djokovic's 80th at the All England Club, which would make him the first man or woman to have won at least that many matches at each of the four major tournaments. The rest of the Centre Court schedule will delight the locals: Britain's Emma Raducanu, who won the U.S. Open at age 18 last September, will face Alison Van Utyvanck of Belgium, before Britain's Andy Murray, a three-time major champion, including at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016, meets James Duckworth of Australia. Other past Grand Slam title winners slated to play on Day One include Angelique Kerber, Stan Wawrinka and Jelena Ostapenko.
