Wimbledon tournament 2023 is set to commence on Monday, July 3. One of the notable matches in the first round will feature Andy Murray, a two-time champion, facing fellow Brit Ryan Peniston. Murray, who did not receive a seeding this year, will have to overcome this early challenge. The winner of this match will then face a tough test against either Stefanos Tsitsipas or Dominic Thiem in the subsequent round.

In other matchups, defending champion Novak Djokovic has been paired with Pedro Cachin from Argentina, according to Friday draw. Elena Rybakina from Kazakhstan will defend against American Shelby Rogers.

The ban on Russian and Belarusian players, imposed 12 months ago following the invasion of Ukraine, has now been lifted.

However, there will be some prominent absences. Emma Raducanu, who gained attention in the previous year’s tournament, will not be competing due to undergoing surgery on both her wrists and ankle. Rafael Nadal, dealing with a hip injury, is also not ready to make his return to tennis yet.
