The third Grand Slam tournament of the year, Wimbledon Championships 2022 is all set to begin next Monday at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. As players from across the world lock horns for one of the coveted trophies in Tennis, the players won’t be awarded ranking points from ATP and WTA during the tournament. Notably, the Wimbledon 2022 was stripped off ranking points owing to their ban on players from Russia and Belarus.
This means the World No. 1 Daniil Medvedev will miss out on the tournament, while World No. 3 Novak Djokovic enters as the top seed. Other notable absentees from the tournament will be Andrey Rublev and Aryna Sabalenka. At the same time, 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer will also skip the tournament as he is yet to recover from his injury.
However, the upcoming edition of the grass-court major will feature the singles comeback of 23-time Grand Slam champion Serena Williams. The Australian Open 2022 and French Open 2022 champion Rafael Nadal will partake in the tournament for the first time since 2019, in a bid to extend his record of winning the most Grand Slam trophies.
