The Serbian, who has already won the Australian and French Open titles this year, could also extend his total number of Grand Slams to 24 and edge closer to the calendar Grand Slam.

In the women’s draw, Elena Rybakina will be looking to defend the title she won last year, with the relentless Iga Swiatek also among the favourites.

The tournament begins on Monday July 3, with the women’s singles final taking place on July 15 and the men’s 24 hours later on July 16.

These matches are now spread across two days.

As far as the day-to-day scheduling goes, a full Order of Play will be available the night before the next day’s play.

Play on the outside courts will start at 11am every day, with Court One following at 1pm and Centre Court at 1.30pm. On finals weekend, play on Centre Court will commence at 2pm (all times BST).

Will Russian and Belarusian players be competing at Wimbledon 2023?

Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022, The All England Club banned players from Russia and Belarus from competing last year, but has lifted the ban for the 2023 tournament.

The grass-court event was the only Grand Slam last year to refuse Russian and Belarusian players from competing, but has now said that it would permit players from those nations to compete under a neutral flag.
