What British players are left in singles draws?

Arthur Fery is the only British player left in the singles draws after beating Finnish qualifier Otto Virtanen in four sets on Thursday.

The 23-year-old, ranked 114th in the world, will next face Zizou Bergs of Belgium on Saturday.

“It’s great to do it for the UK. Selfishly I am doing it for myself first – but I’m always behind the other players and wishing them success,” Fery said after his win.

“So happy with how I managed to keep my emotions in check and keep going. So happy to reach the third round.”

Sinner is the favourite to win the men’s title in the absence of injured two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz.

All-time great Novak Djokovic continues his quest for a standalone record 25th Grand Slam title – and an eighth at SW19, which would equal Roger Federer’s men’s record.

French Open champion Zverev and last year’s semi-finalist Flavio Cobolli are among the other contenders still in the draw.

Swiatek will be determined to retain her title but world number one Aryna Sabalenka is the favourite to win her first Wimbledon title.

World number four Jessica Pegula and last year’s runner-up Amanda Anisimova are both bidding for a first major singles title, while world number two Rybakina won the title in 2022.

Eighteen of the 19 British players who started in the singles draws have been knocked out in the first two rounds.

Katie Swan, Jacob Fearnley, Jan Choinski and Fery made it through round one – but 15 home players fell to opening-round defeats for the first time in 38 years.

Choinski won the first set against 17th seed Frances Tiafoe on Thursday but was beaten in four sets, with Swan and Fearnley beaten in straight sets by Madison Keys and Jaume Munar respectively.

The 10 losses by British players on the opening day of their home Grand Slam was the most at SW19 since daily records began in 2000.

Defeats for Katie Boulter, Toby Samuel, Jack Pinnington Jones, Billy Harris and debutant Harry Wendelken on Tuesday meant the total number of first-round losses for home players was the most since 16 exited in 1988.

Six British players were ranked high enough to receive direct entry into the singles draws, but only Choinski made it through the first round.

Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper pulled out prior to their first-round matches because of injury, while men’s number one Cameron Norrie lost to Michael Zheng in five sets on Monday and Francesca Jones and Boulter also departed.

Who plays who in the Wimbledon draw?

The Wimbledon men’s and women’s singles draws took place on Friday, 26 June.

What is the prize money this year?

The total prize fund at this year’s Wimbledon will be £64.2m, following the largest annual increase in the event’s history.

The singles’ champions will each take home £3.6m with first-round losers paid £80,000.

More than £6m has been set aside for the qualifying competition – an increase of 25%.

Overall prize money has increased by £10.7m, with leading players welcoming the 20% increase in prize money as a “genuine and significant step forward”.

However they still expanded their protests about prize money – limiting the time they offered at the media weekend.

Who are the pundits and presenters?
