The men's and women's singles draws for Wimbledon were announced on Friday. As for the seeds, top player Novak Djokovic is the No. 1 seed in the men's side of the bracket despite Rafael Nadal winning the 2022 French Open last month. With the French Open victory in his back pocket, Nadal is going to be listed as the No. 2 seed.

As for the women, Iga Swiatek is the top seed after winning the 2022 French Open. Anett Kontaveit will be the No. 2 seed despite being eliminated in the opening round of the French Open as a No. 5 seed.

Serena Williams will be playing at Wimbledon and it will mark the first time that he's taken any tennis court since the 2021 installment of Wimbledon. She has not played since last June when she suffered an ankle injury during her opening round match at the All England Club.

No players of Russian or Belarusian nationality will be allowed to play in the tournament. Wimbledon made that decision in April  after Russia invaded Ukraine. As a result of the ban, some of the top players in the sport will miss out on Wimbledon, including men's world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev and women's world No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka.
