Wimbledon 2021 Draw: Tournament tree and route to the final
The Wimbledon draw has taken place and we have broken down the full draw with notable first round matches and a projections for the quarter-finals
With the qualifiers easing up, attention is now turning to the Wimbledon 2021 competition itself – and the all-important draw.
The draw is always one of the most crucial and often shocking parts of the competition, having huge repercussions at the French Open 2021 when Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer all landed in the same half of the draw.
However, this won't be the case for Wimbledon following Rafael Nadal's surprise decision to withdraw from the Grand Slam competition, leaving players with one less legend to contend with.
Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic have landed on opposing sides of the draw meaning they will avoid each other until the final, while Andy Murray has been handed a draw against Nikoloz Basilashvili.
Serena Williams is on course to face Angelique Kerber in the third round, while Simona Halep has pulled out of Wimbledon due to injury.
See below for all the details of the Wimbledon draw for 2021.
