The Wimbledon draw comes out on Friday, so the list of seeded players was finalized with the unveiling of the current ATP rankings on Monday.
Here are the 32 seeds at the All-England Club for the men’s singles competition:
1. Jannik Sinner
2. Carlos Alcaraz
3. Alexander Zverev
4. Jack Draper
5. Taylor Fritz
6. Novak Djokovic
7. Lorenzo Musetti
8. Holger Rune
9. Daniil Medvedev
10. Ben Shelton
11. Alex de Minaur
12. Frances Tiafoe
13. Tommy Paul
14. Andrey Rublev
15. Jakub Mensik
16. Francisco Cerundolo
17. Karen Khachanov
18. Ugo Humbert
19. Grigor Dimitrov
20. Alexei Popyrin
21. Tomas Machac
22. Flavio Cobolli
23. Jiri Lehecka
24. Stefanos Tsitsipas
25. Felix Auger-Aliassime
26. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina
27. Denis Shapovalov
28. Alexander Bublik
29. Brandon Nakashima
30. Alex Michelsen
31. Tallon Griekspoor
32. Matteo Berrettini
Draper climbed into the all-important No. 4 position–passing Fritz–due to their respective results last week at Queen’s Club (Draper reached the semifinals, Fritz lost in the first round). That means Draper will avoid Sinner and Alcaraz at least until the semis in SW19.
The 25-32 seeded group is especially dangerous. Auger-Aliassime is a force on grass and currently finds himself in the Mallorca semifinals, Davidovich Fokina is in the Eastbourne quarters, Shapovalov is a former Wimbledon semifinalist, Berrettini is a former Wimbledon finalist, and Bublik–a French Open quarterfinalist and the Halle champion–is the one guy that nobody wants to play.
1-8 seeds will be matched up with 25-32 seeds in the third round if they advance that far.
