The draw for the tables at Wimbledon was carried out this Friday.
We can see it more clearly. Italy’s Matteo Berrettini, a finalist at Wimbledon last year and a winner at Stuttgart and Queen’s this month, will be half of Rafael Nadal’s table for the London Grand Slam leg after Friday’s draw . The seeded N.1, Novak Djokovic, defending champion, will have a fairly simple first toura priori at Wimbledon against the South Korean Kwon Soon-woo (N.75), with an appointment scheduled against the Spanish nugget Carlos Alcaraz in the quarterfinals.
In the first round and for his first Wimbledon since 2019, Nadal will face the Argentinian Francisco Cerundolo, in a tournament that has not smiled on him since 2010. He could also have to get rid of Felix Auger-Aliassime who had given him a dantesque fight in five sets at Roland-Garros, in the round of 16.
Ranked seeded N.8, Berrettini, actual N.11 in the world, will launch his tournament against the Chilean Cristian Garin and would theoretically find on his way Stefanos Tsitsipas, N.6 at the ATP, in the quarter. On the side of the local idols, Andy Murray, injured since his lost final in Stuttgart, will face him against the Australian James Duckworth in the first round of Wimbledon 2022. He will then perhaps have to face the powerful server John Isner in the second round.
