The 2023 Wimbledon Championships got underway on Monday, with the world’s best tennis players descending on the All England Club for the third Grand Slam of the year.
In the men's draw, Novak Djokovic got his title defence underway on Monday, taking on Argentina’s Pedro Cachin as he bids to equal two major records with his eighth Wimbledon title and 24th grand slam trophy. Heavy favourites Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz know they cannot meet until the final.
Alcaraz hasn't previously made it beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon but showed his quick progression on grass by winning at Queen’s and he faces veteran Frenchman Jeremy Chardy in his opening match on Tuesday. Nick Kyrgios, who lost to Djokovic in last year's final, was forced to pull out of the tournament because of a wrist injury.
