Carlos Alcaraz will defend his Wimbledon men's title from Monday with his main rival likely to be world No 1 Jannik Sinner rather than Novak Djokovic.

Fellow former world No 1 Murray, also 37, famously defeated Djokovic in the 2013 final, ending a 77-year wait for a British men's champion at Wimbledon.Like Djokovic, he is not certain to play but a decision has to be made by Friday when the draw takes place.It has been 21 years since at least one of the first two Grand Slam titles of the year wasn't claimed by either Federer, Nadal or Djokovic.

"I'm looking forward to Wimbledon," said Sinner who was a semifinalist in 2023, losing to Djokovic in straight sets.In the Open era, there has been an American winner of the men's title on 15 occasions – almost twice as many as the next best, the eight of Switzerland or Roger Federer to be more precise.
