Three days before the start of the 2023 Wimbledon tournament, the draw for the gentlemen and ladies brackets have been released.

Novak Djokovic, the four-time defending gentlemen's champion, will begin his quest for a third straight Grand Slam title this year as the No. 2 seed.

Carlos Alcaraz, who reclaimed the top spot in the ATP rankings with a victory at the Queen's Club Championships, is the No. 1 seed at Wimbledon for the first time in his career.

Iga Świątek earned the No. 1 seed in the ladies' bracket, but the grass at the All England Club has given her problems in the past. She has never advanced beyond the fourth round in three previous Wimbledon appearances.

Defending ladies champion Elena Rybakina is the third seed to start this year's tournament, with 2023 Australian Open champ Aryna Sabalenka in the No. 2 spot.

Carlos Alcaraz's Wimbledon Draw:<br><br>R1 - Chardy<br>R2 - Rinderknech<br>R3 - Jarry/Humbert<br>R4 - De Minaur/Zverev<br>QF - Rune/Tiafoe/ADF/Dimitrov<br>SF - Medvedev/Tsitsipas/Norrie<br>F - Djokovic/Ruud/Sinner<br><br>TOUGH. <a href="">

The 20-year-old is making his third singles appearance at Wimbledon after losing in the second round in 2021 and fourth round in 2022. He's coming off a semifinal appearance at the French Open.

Lorenzo Musetti (No. 14) and Hubert Hurkacz (No. 17) are the highest-seeded players in Djokovic's section of the bracket. His list of potential quarterfinal opponents includes Andrey Rublev, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Alexander Bublik and Nick Kyrgios.

Djokovic hasn't lost at Wimbledon since the 2017 quarterfinals against Tomáš Berdych when he had to retire in the second set due to an elbow injury. He can become the first men's player to win this tournament five consecutive times since Roger Federer did it from 2003 to '07.

The ladies bracket looks to be wide open as the tournament gets ready to start. In addition to her struggles on grass, Świątek will be coming into this event after withdrawing from the Bad Homburg Open semifinals on Friday due to an illness.

Iga Świątek @iga_swiatek

I'm so sorry but I have to pull out of my match today. I had a restless night because of some fever and possible food poisoning. I'm not able to perform today and I need to take care of myself. I hope I'll be fine soon. Your support in Bad Homburg was amazing, thank you. <a href="">

Sabalenka is returning to Wimbledon after being unable to compete last year due to the tournament's ban on Belarusian players in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. She had her best showing at the All England Club in 2021 with a run to the semifinals.

The 25-year-old has been fantastic in the first two Grand Slam events of the year. She defeated Rybakina in the finals of the Australian Open for her first Grand Slam singles title. That was followed up with a run to the French Open semis before a three-set loss to Karolína Muchová.

All of the action from London will begin on Monday. The ladies' singles final will take place on July 15. The gentlemen's singles final is scheduled for July 16.
