He has now learned the opponents standing between him and the trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The seven-time Wimbledon champion will open his campaign against China&#8217;s Yibing Wu, who is currently ranked No. 99 in the ATP rankings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nole is in the same half of the draw as Jannik Sinner, meaning the two could meet in the semifinals. Djokovic&#8217;s potential quarterfinal opponent is Felix Auger-Aliassime, while Andrey Rublev could await the Belgrade native in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Potential opponents in the championship match include Alexander Zverev, Ben Shelton, and Jakub Men\u0161\u00edk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the second round, Djokovic could face Stefanos Tsitsipas, against whom he has already played in two Grand Slam finals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for the other Serbian tennis players, Hamad Me\u0111edovi\u0107 will face world No. 111 Sebastian Ofner in the opening round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Wimbledon&#39;s FULL MEN&#39;S SINGLES DRAW: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/iAesXzjb5s\">pic.twitter.com\/iAesXzjb5s<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Jos\u00e9 Morgado (@josemorgado) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/josemorgado\/status\/2070444109383324027?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 26, 2026<\/a><\/blockquote> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike him, Miomir Kecmanovi\u0107 did not enjoy the same luck.

The Serbian player came through qualifying, but she will begin her Wimbledon campaign against Aryna Sabalenka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a reminder, Wimbledon will take place from June 29 to July 12, with Italy&#8217;s Jannik Sinner defending the title.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><mark style=\"background-color:#FFFFFF;color:#d21414\" class=\"has-inline-color\">MORE TOPICS:<\/mark><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/alimpijevic-announced-an-important-decision-nikola-jokic-is-the-new-captain-of-the-serbian-national-basketball-team\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ALIMPIJEVIC ANNOUNCED AN IMPORTANT DECISION: Nikola Jokic is the new captain of the Serbian national basketball team!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/horror-in-zagreb-man-65-shot-at-three-children-with-an-air-rifle-after-an-argument-one-wounded\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">HORROR IN ZAGREB: Man (65) shot at three children with an air rifle after an argument, one wounded!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/bogdanovic-se-izvinio-zbog-rasistickog-ispada-skandal-na-nacionalnoj-televiziji-obisao-planetu-oglasio-se-i-rts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">BOGDANOVIC APOLOGIZED FOR THE RACIST INCIDENT: Scandal on national television went around the planet, RTS also spoke out!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/robbery-on-belgrade-streets-a-group-intercepted-a-teenager-16-on-the-street-stabbed-him-with-a-knife-because-he-refused-to-hand-over-the-money\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">ROBBERY ON BELGRADE STREETS: A group intercepted a teenager (16) on the street, stabbed him with a knife because he refused to hand over the money!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/serbiantimes.info\/en\/red-meteo-alarm-paralyzed-europe-heatwave-ravages-the-old-continent-temperatures-over-40-degrees\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">RED METEO ALARM PARALYZED EUROPE: Heatwave ravages the Old Continent, temperatures over 40 degrees!<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">S<strong><strong><strong>ource<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.novosti.rs\/sport\/tenis\/1621758\/novak-djokovic-vimbldon-2026-zreb-protivnici-rivali-najnovije-vesti\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Novosti<\/a>; <strong>Foto<\/strong>: Printscreen \/ Instagram @wimbledon<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Novak Djokovic will compete at Wimbledon, where he will attempt to win his 25th Grand Slam title.
