Consequently, as in the good old days, the Serb and the Spaniard will each occupy their part of the table, possibly only being able to find themselves in the final, contrary to what happened at Roland-Garros a few weeks ago ( Nadal’s quarter-final victory). Casper Ruud and Stefanos Tsitsipas, seeds 3 and 4, will be split into either half in the draw on Friday, and will therefore be their theoretical opponents in the semis, even if the grass track record of the Norwegian and Greek do not really plead in their favor.

‘Rafa will be one of the favourites’: Toni Nadal optimistic for his nephew

The first Sunday will no longer be off
Respectively winners in Halle and Queen’s last Sunday, Hubert Hurkacz and Matteo Berrettini find themselves with numbers 7 and 8 and could face Nadal and Djokovic in the quarterfinals. Note that Gaël Monfils, who has not yet made his final decision regarding his participation in Wimbledon, is seeded 19 and the only protected Frenchman, men’s and women’s tables combined.
As for these ladies, Serena Williams logically did not have special treatment for her big return to competition after a year’s absence: she does not have seeded status. Iga Swiatek and her runner-up in the WTA rankings Anett Kontaveit will occupy the two opposite parts of the table. Finally, the players will be hard at work every day in this 2022 edition, since another great tradition which made the specificity of Wimbledon – the first Sunday off – has also been removed.
