2 days until Wimbledon!

With the draw for Wimbledon now announced, here’s a bit more information about the potential route to the final for the British No.1s (seeding shown in brackets where applicable):

Jack Draper (4):
Round 1 - Sebastian Baez
Round 2 - Marin Čilić*
Round 3 - Alexander Bublik (28)**
Round 4 - Jakub Mensik (15)
Quarters - Novak Djokovic (6)
Semis - Jannik Sinner (1)
Final - Carlos Alcaraz (2)

*The former world No.3, Čilić is a trickier opponent than his ranking suggests. The 36-year-old reached the final of Wimbledon in 2017 and even won the US Open back in 2014. 

**The form player on tour at the moment, Bublik recently won the Halle Open, taking down some top players along the way, including world No.1 Jannik Sinner. Draper won’t need reminding that Bublik beat him in the fourth round of Roland Garros. A potential revenge match! 

Emma Raducanu: 
Round 1 - Mimi Xu (WC)*
Round 2 - McCartney Kessler (32) **
Round 3 - Aryna Sabalenka (1)
Round 4 - Elina Svitolina (14) 
Quarters - Madison Keys (6)
Semis - Jasmine Paolini (4)
Final - Coco Gauff (2) 

* One of just two all-British first round ties. Mimi Xu is one of Britain’s best young prospects and the 17-year-old has already climbed to No.318 in the rankings. She’s already taken down multiple top 100 players as she transitions away from Junior tennis.

** A deceptively difficult opponent, McCartney Kessler’s preparation for Wimbledon has been outstanding. The 25-year-old took down British No.2 Katie Boulter as well as top seed Beatriz Haddad Maia on her way to winning the Nottingham Open.
