The entry lists for the 2026 Wimbledon Championships have been confirmed.

Fans are set to enter the SW19 grounds on Monday when the Wimbledon qualifying campaign begins.

The main draws of the major event will kick off on June 29.

With the entry lists and wildcards now established, British tennis fans now have their Wimbledon class of 2026.

Men’s singles

Despite his recent injury troubles, Jack Draper remains Great Britain’s greatest chance of a new British champion in the men’s singles draw.

The Briton, who was knocked out in the second round of last year’s event, has fallen out of the top 100 after suffering a knee injury in April.

Under the guidance of coach Andy Murray, Draper is set to return to competitive play at the Eastbourne Open this week.

Men’s Singles main draw

Cameron Norrie will also be hopeful of another strong campaign in south-west London.

The British veteran player, a former semi-finalist, will be seeded for this year’s event.

Both Draper and Norrie represent Britain’s best chance of a singles champion; and with Carlos Alcaraz absent from the event, can one of these two take full advantage?

This seems somewhat unlikely, unless Jannik Sinner suffers yet another early exit on the Grand Slam stage.

Youngsters Toby Samuel, Harry Wendelken, Arthur Fery and Jack Pinnington Jones will also look to register strong campaigns after receiving wildcards for the Grand Slam event.

Oliver Tarvet, who famously played Carlos Alcaraz in the second round of last year’s event, will compete in the qualifying draw alongside the likes of Billy Harris and Dan Evans.

Women’s singles

Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter headline the British contingent competing in this year’s women’s singles event.

Both players have been in good form heading into the tournament, with Raducanu in particular impressing on her way to the Queen’s Club Championships final last week.

Despite both players performing well recently, it seems unlikely that either will win Wimbledon this year.

Raducanu has never made it past the fourth round in London, while Boulter has reached the third-round stage on two occasions.

Women’s singles main draw

Youngsters Mimi Xu, Mika Stojsavljevic and Hannah Klugman are also set to compete in the main draw after receiving wildcards.

Heather Watson, Daniella Briton and Lily Miyazaki will compete in the qualifying event.

Doubles and Wheelchair events

Henry Patten is the highest ranked British player in the men’s doubles draw.

The Briton and Harri Heliovaara – the joint-world number one’s – are likely to be seeded first for the event.

Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool will also be among the favourites for this year’s Wimbledon Men’s Doubles event.

The pair won the title in London 12 months ago, becoming first all-British team to triumph at the event in 89 years.

Neal Skupski will be looking to add a fifth Grand Slam title to his collection when he competes alongside American Christian Harrison later this month.

Joe Salisbury will also be in contention. The Briton, a four-time major champion, will compete alongside American Rajeev Ram at this year’s event.

Men’s doubles

In the women’s doubles, Olivia Nicholls will seek to notch her first Grand Slam title when she plays alongside Slovakia’s Tereza Mihalikova later this month.

The pair recently triumphed at the Queen’s Club, before being knocked out in the Berlin Open first round.

Katie Boulter is also set to compete in the doubles event alongside Heather Watson, who will make her 16th Wimbledon appearance.

Women’s doubles

In the Wheelchair singles events, Alfie Hewett and Gordon Reid once again headline the British contingent in the men’s singles draw.

Hewett – seeded second – and Gordon – seeded fifth – will seek to disrupt the dominance of Japanese star Tokito Oda.

Oda, 20, has already won nine major singles titles – triumphing at the past five events.

Men’s Wheelchair singles

In the women’s draw, Lucy Shuker and Cornelia Oosthuizen are the British representatives.

Shuker, a four-time Grand Slam singles semi-finalist and eight-time major finalist in doubles, received a wildcard for this year’s event.

Two more wildcards for the event are yet to be released.
