Jannik Sinner and Novak Djokovic are on a collision course for the semi-finals at Wimbledon, while Jack Draper has been handed a brutal first-round draw.<\/p>\n
On Friday, the tennising world watched on as all the Wimbledon draws were announced, which included a number of eye-catching openers.<\/p>\n
Perhaps the most tantalising of them all was former British No 1 Draper being handed a tough test against 2025 Wimbledon semi-finalist Taylor Fritz.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old would have liked an easier contest to start off with but equally, the sixth-seeded American may not be relishing this encounter, either.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere, three-time major winner Stan Wawrinka will lock horns with 2021 Wimbledon<\/a> finalist Matteo Berrettini, while 2017 runner-up Marin Cilic will come up against eighth seed Daniil Medvedev.<\/p>\n Emma Raducanu out of Wimbledon?
