The grass has been cut, the lines painted, the whites pressed, and the Pimm’s is on ice. Wimbledon 2026 is nearly ready for lift off – now we’re just waiting on the draw.
The Championships will ultimately be settled on the courts of SW19, of course, but the draw will map out the fortnight of tennis that lies ahead and will see players discover their destiny.
Some, like World No.1s Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka arrive with top billing, others will make their name this year, and a few are still battling through qualifying to book their spot.
As always, there is a strong British contingent – with Emma Raducanu, Jack Draper, Cam Norrie, and Katie Boulter among the brightest home hopes now awaiting their fate.
