Carlos Alcaraz will be the Men's #1 seed I believe, if that helps. Qualifying at the lower levels is already ongoing.

Andy Murray has an easy-looking opening match, but if he wins then it's Tsitsipas or Thiem next.

Finding a way to get past Tsitsipas / Thiem will be the challenge, but I think Murray's grass court experience gives him an edge over them.
Maybe getting ahead of myself here but I think an all-British fourth round match against Norrie is winnable too. After that a potential quarter final against Medvedev might be a step too far, but let's see. Andy will definitely be an opponent that most of the draw will not relish facing on grass, especially at Wimbledon.
I think it comes down to how healthy he is really but as I say, let's see.

His recent win probably gives him some confidence for Wimbledon. Will this one be his last if he loses? be strange not seeing Nadal or Federer in the draw this year.

The women's tournament looks quite interesting imo.
Defending champion Elena Rybakina goes in not having to defend any ranking points on the one hand but with very little grass court prep due to a virus on the other.
Aryna Sabalenka is a powerhouse player who has the potential to do very well.
Iga Swiatek is a multiple slam champion but is yet to taste glory at Wimbledon.
Danger lurks throughout the draw though with the likes of Petra Kvitova, Karolina Pliskova and last year's runner up Ons Jabeur.
Outside bets maybe are Coco Gauff and Madison Keys.
British hopes rest largely with Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart.
My dream winner: Elina Svitolina/Monfils.
But she faces Venus Williams in round one.
Tough opener even against a 43 year old opponent.
RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Doddle - 03-07-2023 15:06
Harriet Dart lost in a decider already.
RE: Wimbledon 2023 - lovebabes56 - 03-07-2023 19:26
hoping Katie Boulter fares better
RE: Wimbledon 2023 - Snooks - 03-07-2023 19:58
While Harriet Dart and Katie Swan both lost there was better news for GB elsewhere.
Jodie Burrage beat Caty McNally 6-1 6-3.
Liam Broady saw off Constant Lestienne in straight sets and Jan Choinski won in 4 sets.
Elina Svitolina is through too after defeating the legend that is Venus Williams 6-4 6-3.

Currently engrossed in the match between ninth seed Taylor Fritz and unseeded German Yannick Hanfmann which has gone to a fifth set. It's been an intriguing watch on the BBC i player. And Coco Gauff is battling to stay in the tournament in a brutal battle with Sofia Kenin.

Coco Gauff getting beat by Sofia Kenin was a shock. I saw her as a probable semi finalist..
