Wimbledon 2024 draw LIVE: Latest updates as Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu await fate

Andy Murray unsure of readiness for Wimbledon after back injury at Queen’s

The Wimbledon draw takes place today as Andy Murray and Emma Raducanu learn their first-round opponents after entering the tournament as unseeded players.

Murray, the two-time champion, is expected to take place in the singles draw despite admitting he may not be ready to compete after undergoing an operation on his spine, but he may still play doubles with his brother Jamie.

Raducanu is back at Wimbledon after missing last year’s tournament due to injury, with the former US Open champion taking a wildcard. She will play 22nd seed Ekaterina Alexandrova in the first round.

Elsewhere, women’s No 1 Iga Swiatek and men’s No 1 Jannik Sinner are top seeds, with Marketa Vondrousova and Carlos Alcaraz the defending champions of the singles titles.

Novak Djokovic will be seeded third as the 37-year-old attempts to win Wimbledon for a record eighth time following a five-set defeat to Alcaraz in a thrilling men’s final last year. Follow updates from the Wimbledon draw below as well as latest news ahead of the tournament

1719565526

Wimbledon draw: Women’s singles

It’s already looking like a tough draw for Iga Swiatek, with Caroline Garcia, Jelena Ostapenko, and defending champion Marketa Vondrousava in the same quarter as the World No 1, before potentially facing Elena Rybakina in the semi-finals.

There is some confusion in the draw room! Already a couple of hiccups… being clarified now. I think some players were placed into the wrong line after Beatriz Haddad Maia was skipped. We continue.
