When is the Wimbledon Draw? Here's when we'll find out the order of play, who is in the draw - and is Jacob Fearnley playing?

It’s nearly time for the world’s most prestigious tennis tournament.

Played on grass at London’s All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, in London, this year’s tournament will be the 139th time it has taken place (and the 132nd time the ladies’ singles has been played).

Last year saw world number one Jannik Sinner win his first title, preventing Carlos Alcaraz taking home the men’s singles title for a third consecutive year by beating the Spaniard in four sets in the final.

Meanwhile Iga Swiatek beat Amanda Anisimova in the women’s singles final to become the first Polish Wimbledon singles champion in the open era.

They’ll be back to defend their titles, along with Novak Djokovic, who will be looking to add a record 25th grand slam trophy to his groaning mantelpiece.

But there will not be a repeat of last year’s men’s singles final as Carloz Alcaraz has withdrawn due to a wrist injury.

Britain’s best hope will be honorary Scotsman Cameron Norrie who is seeded 27th in the draw,

Here’s everything you need to know about this year’s draw - and which players have already confirmed their places.
