Despite recent concerns, Novak Djokovic will be playing at Wimbledon this year.
The Serbian is a seven-time Wimbledon champion, though he lost a year ago to Carlos Alcaraz in a five-set thriller in the final.
Neither one of them is a favorite, however.
Instead, No. 1 seed Jannik Sinner enters as the favorite.
The Italian has lost just three matches all year, and given the conditions of grass-court tennis, it'll take an impeccable performance from an opponent to knock him down.
In the bottom half of the draw, Novak Djokovic is the favorite to emerge, though given his lack of preparation on grass this season, the door is open for Hubert Hurkacz and Alexander Zverev.
Hurkacz enters with incredible momentum and significant improvement in his return game.
This past week, the 27-year-old Pole reached the final of the ATP Halle 500 before falling to Sinner.
Zverev, on the other hand, has had limited success at Wimbledon but has played consistent tennis all year.
While Sinner seems likely to emerge out of the top half of the draw, the bottom half poses questions.
If Hurkacz is able to stay consistent enough on serve, he will present an extremely tough matchup for Djokovic in the quarterfinals and Zverev in the semifinal.
This is the Pole's best chance yet to reach the final, and he should be able to capitalize on it.
Prediction: Sinner over Hurkacz in five sets.
