The third grand slam of the season is here as the best players in the world will once again bring their finest all-white outfits and make the trip to the All England Lawn & Tennis Club in London for Wimbledon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Friday, Wimbledon released the draws for the men and women, headlined by top seeds Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka both looking to shake off disappointing early exits from Roland Garros last month to capture another grand slam title. While Sabalenka’s struggles and the emergence of Mirra Andreeva as a grand slam champ were expected to the top headlines coming in on the women’s side, the biggest story of Wimbledon is the stunning return of 7-time Wimbledon champion Serena Williams.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Williams will play doubles alongside sister Venus and was granted a wild card entry into the singles draw<\/a> where she will open against Australia’s Maya Joint, aiming for her first Wimbledon singles win since 2019 when she reached the finals.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are seven seeded American women in the draw — No. 4 Jessica Pegula, No. 6 Amanda Anisimova, No. 7 Coco Gauff, No. 16 Iva Jovic, No. 23 Emma Navarro, No. 26 Madison Keys and No. 28 Ann Li. They each will be looking to snap a decade-long drought for American women at Wimbledon, as Williams is the last American winner on Wimbledon’s grass. However, an unfortunate draw for American tennis fans hoping to see as many as possible reach the second week will pit Anisimova against Keys and Gauff against Li in the third round if they can both win their first two matches. \u00a0<\/p>\n

The men’s draw once again is without Carlos Alcaraz as he recovers from a wrist injury, opening up opportunities after Sinner proved to be mortal in his shocking early exit<\/a> from Roland Garros where he struggled in the heat. That means the six seeded American men in the field — No. 4 Ben Shelton, No. 6 Taylor Fritz, No. 16 Learner Tien, No. 17 Frances Tiafoe, No. 21 Tommy Paul, No. 28 Brandon Nakashima — will have their sights set on a visit to the second week as the American men’s grand slam drought since 2003 continues.<\/p>\n

Of that group, Fritz drew the toughest early test as he’ll face a true road game environment in his opening match against Jack Draper of Great Britain, who was the world No. 4 last year but has dropped out of the top 100 due to a back injury he is just starting to come back from.\u00a0<\/p>\n
