Overview

  • Djokovic arrives at Wimbledon 2025 as the sixth seed—his lowest SW19 ranking since 2018—and will open his campaign against Alexandre Muller of France.
  • The 38-year-old has been tied with Margaret Court on 24 majors since the 2023 US Open and cites his grass-court pedigree as the ideal path to a 25th Grand Slam.
  • Fresh from claiming his 100th tour-level title in Geneva, Djokovic admitted his future beyond this tournament is uncertain and hinted this could be his final stretch of Slams.
  • Britain’s Jack Draper, seeded fourth in his home major, kicks off against Sebastian Baez while still seeking his first advance beyond Wimbledon’s early rounds.
  • Former world No.1 Mats Wilander cautioned that intense media and social-media attention could prove Draper’s toughest opponent under the Wimbledon spotlight.
