Djokovic, Nadal lead title chase at Wimbledon
— Supersport
LONDON — Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal headline the title chase at Wimbledon where eight-time champion Roger Federer, the world's top two players and cherished ranking points will all be missing.
Djokovic is bidding for a seventh title at the All England Club to move level with US great Pete Sampras.
Nadal, fresh from a 14th French Open victory and a record-extending 22nd major, is halfway to the first men's calendar Grand Slam in more than half a century.
The season’s third Slam tournament has already made political waves even before the first ball is served on Monday.
The decision to ban Russian and Belarusian players in the aftermath of the invasion of Ukraine means there is no place for world No 1 Daniil Medvedev or eighth-ranked Andrey Rublev.
