A good draw for defending champion Novak Djokovic: The third in the world rankings meets Sonwoo Kwon at the start of his Wimbledon mission in 2022. Rafael Nadal, bottom of the draw, plays against Francisco Cerundolo.
Last year's finalist Matteo Berrettini has to compete with Cristian Garin.
An interesting hammer in round 1: Stan Wawrinka against Jannik Sinner! Also an eye-catcher: Felix Auger-Aliassime against serve-and-volley specialist Maxime Cressy!
Stefanos Tsitsipas plays against Alexander Ritschard, Nick Kyrgios can play against Paul Jubb. Andy Murray, a two-time winner in Wimbi and most recently in the Stuttgart final, opens against James Duckworth. Co-favorite Hubert Hurkacz meets Alejandro Davidovich Fokina.
Dennis Novak vs Facundo Bagnis
Dennis Novak, the only starter for Austria after Dominic Thiem's cancellation, plays against Facundo Bagnis.
And where did Carlos Alcaraz end up, the spring's shooting star? He plays against Jan-Lennard Struff.
A German-German duel to start with: Oscar Otte versus Peter Gojowczyk. After Gael Monfils' rejection, Otte was still among the seeded, so he is number 32 in the All England Club.
