Wimbledon is just around the corner and before you know it, the streets will be awash with strawberries and cream, the sound of: "SHOT!" ringing out from public squares and big screens.

The 2023 edition of the iconic, quintessentially British sporting occasion looks set to be another blockbuster, despite the absence of several big names from the lists.

Andy Murray will return to the hallowed turf at SW19, though Emma Raducanu and Rafael Nadal will miss out through injury.

Reigning champion Novak Djokovic is back to defend his title. He was pushed all the way by a ferocious Nick Kyrgios in 2022.

In the women's tournament, World No.1 Iga Swiatek has seen her grip over the WTA Rankings loosen, with reigning Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina building up a head of steam going into the summer.

Of course, there's still plenty of tennis to savour as the French Open gets under way, but it won't be long before SW19 opens its gates to the world.
