Wimbledon 2022 draw: Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal avoid unseeded big names, Andy Murray v James Duckworth

Novak Djokovic will face South Korea’s Soonwoo Kwon in the first round of his Wimbledon defence.

The No.1 seed – in the absence of Russian Daniil Medvedev – could meet Spanish teen sensation Carlos Alcaraz in the last eight if the pair both reach that stage.

Andy Murray has been drawn against Australia’s James Duckworth in his opening match. From there, the Scot could come up against big-serving John Isner in the second round.

Rafael Nadal will take on Francisco Cerundolo in his first match of the 2022 tournament, and could line up against Felix Auger-Aliassime – who is coached by Nadal’s uncle Toni – in the quarter-finals if the seeding goes to order.

British No. 1 Cameron Norrie’s faces Pablo Andujar in his first match on the SW19 grass, while compatriot Dan Evans will play qualifier Jason Kubler.
