The Wimbledon men\u2019s singles draw has been revealed, with leading contenders Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Jack Draper all in the top half.<\/p>\n
World No 1 Sinner<\/a> is the top seed in the men\u2019s singles draw, and will be looking to put his heartbreaking French Open final defeat behind him.<\/p>\n The Italian has been handed a kind pathway early on, with compatriot Luca Nardi in round one and a potential third round against 27th seed Denis Shapovalov.<\/p>\n Sinner could face 13th seed Tommy Paul in the round of 16 and seventh seed Lorenzo Musetti in the quarter-final, though his first real test could ultimately come in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n Fourth seed Draper is his projected semi-final opponent, though the Brit has been handed an incredibly tricky draw, including a potential quarter-final versus sixth seed Djokovic<\/a>.<\/p>\n The Brit could face 28th seed and Halle Open champion Alexander Bublik in round three, just weeks after the Kazakh stunned the world No 4 at Roland Garros.<\/p>\n Draper could then have to beat 15th seed Jakub Mensik in round four before a potential last-eight versus Djokovic, a seven-time Wimbledon champion, and then hypothetically face Sinner.<\/p>\n World No 6 Djokovic\u2019s quest for a 25th major starts against Alexandre Muller, with a potential round three versus 30th seed Alex Michelsen.<\/p>\n The Serbian\u2019s first real significant test could come against 11th seed Alex de Minaur in the fourth round, before a potential blockbuster quarter-final versus home favourite Draper.<\/p>\n In contrast to the stacked top half, second seed and two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has been handed a hugely favourable pathway to what would be a third straight Wimbledon title.<\/p>\n The 22-year-old opens his campaign against Fabio Fognini, with 25th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime and 14th seed Andrey Rublev his potential third and fourth round opponents.<\/p>\n Jack Draper asked if grass is his best chance to beat Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n Former world No 1 makes lavish Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner claim<\/a><\/p>\n A first test could come in the quarter-final versus eighth seed Holger Rune, the last man to beat Alcaraz before the start of the Spaniard\u2019s 18-match win streak.<\/p>\n However, Danish star Rune faces a tough mini-section including the likes of 12th seed Frances Tiafoe and 23rd seed Jiri Lehecka.<\/p>\n Projected to face Alcaraz in the semi-final is world No 3 and third seed Alexander Zverev, who will be hoping to make it past the fourth round of Wimbledon for the first time.<\/p>\n The German starts his campaign against Arthur Rinderknech, but could face a tough third round against 32nd seed and 2021 finalist Matteo Berrettini; the Italian beat Zverev at Wimbledon in 2023.<\/p>\n Zverev is projected to face 16th seed Francisco Cerundolo in the fourth round before a potential quarter-final against fifth seed Taylor Fritz.<\/p>\n US ace Fritz beat the German at Wimbledon twelve months ago and has won his last five matches against Zverev, though he has a tough pathway early on.<\/p>\n The world No 5 opens against big-serving Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, before a potential third round against 26th seed Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, and fourth round versus Daniil Medvedev.<\/p>\n Read Next<\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>Wimbledon women\u2019s singles draw: Gauff & Swiatek bottom quarter, Raducanu faces Brit, Eala against reigning champion<\/a><\/p>\n The post Wimbledon men\u2019s singles draw: Djokovic, Sinner, Draper all in top half, Alcaraz handed kinder draw<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Wimbledon men\u2019s singles draw has been revealed, with leading contenders Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, and Jack Draper all in the top half.
