Wimbledon: Sinner restarts with Kecmanovic

Serbian world number 47 Miomir

Kecmanovic will be world number one Jannik Sinner's first

opponent on the grass at Wimbledon, according to Friday's draw

for the men's singles event at the London Grand Slam, which

begins Monday.

Four-time slam winner Sinner, 24, is looking to retain the title

in South West London after collapsing with dizziness and fatigue

in the heat when on the verge of victory over world number 45

Juan Manuel Cerundolo in the last 16 of the Paris Open last

month.

The South Tyrolean leads a group of seven Italians aiming to be

protagonists.

Another Serbian, most people's GOAT Novak Djokovic, is also in

Sinner's half of the draw.

The Italian could then face Peruvian Ignacio Buse and, in an

all-Italian round of 16, Luciano Darderi.

Russian Daniil Medvedev is expected to appear in the

quarterfinals.

Darderi, for his part, will make his debut against American

Ethan Quinn.

Recent Roland Garros finalist Flavio Cobolli will face Argentine

Mariano Navone, and Matteo Arnaldi will face Frenchman Quentin

Halys.

Lorenzo Sonego will face Argentine Tomas Martiun Etcheverry, and

Mattia Bellucci will face American Zachary Svajda.

Of particular interest is 2021 finalist Matteo Berrettini's

debut, as he faces Swiss veteran Stan Wawrinka in the latter's

final Wimbledon appearance.
