Crucially, this year Djokovic will have no Rafael Nadal in his way as he competes in the third major of 2023.

Defending champion Djokovic will aim to extend his 28-match winning streak in SW19.

Elena Rybakina won Wimbledon 2022 in the women’s section and she returns as one of the most prominent figures in the game.

She kept a calm head and won her first major at the age of 23.

At the time, there was controversy given that while she represents Kazakhstan, she is Moscow-born and Russian state media celebrated her triumph.
