Novak Djokovic, who won last year's Wimbledon, takes on Argentine Pedro Cachin as he looks to defend his crown and equal Roger Federer's eight titles at the grass court major.

As for the women's draw, many of the grass court specialists find themselves in the bottom half.

Elena Rybakina, who won Wimbledon last year, Aryna Sabalenka, Karolina Muchova, Petra Kvitova, Karolina Pliskova and Ons Jabeur are among the stars in the bottom half of the draw.

A second added: "2023 Wimbledon top 3 rigged draw? Discuss."
