First round action at the 2026 Wimbledon Championships gets underway on Monday at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. 

Headlining the first day of play will be the top seeds in both the men’s and women’s singles draws, as Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka look to shake off disappointing early exits from Roland-Garros last month with strong starts on Centre Court. Along with the No. 1 seeds, a number of top Americans will get their first action on the grass at Wimbledon on Monday. 

In the men’s draw, No. 16 Lerner Tien, No. 21 Tommy Paul and No. 28 Brandon Nakashima will all play their first round matches. On the women’s side, No. 4 Jessica Pegula, No. 7 Coco Gauff, No. 16 Iva Jovic and No. 28 Ann Li will look to get off on the right foot with an opening round win. 

Other notables starting their tournament on Monday include the men’s No. 7 seed — and 7-time Wimbledon champion — Novak Djokovic. In the women’s draw, No. 5 seed Mirra Andreeva will play for the first time on a grand slam stage since capturing the French Open title last month and No. 14 seed Naomi Osaka will be in action as well.
