Wimbledon is set to get underway this morning, with a number of the biggest names in tennis set to feature on Day One.

Just weeks after their semi-final clash at the French Open, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are in action today with the pair ranked as bookies' favourites to take home the men's singles crown.

Defending champion Alcaraz will open Centre Court against Estonian Mark Lajal at 1:30pm, whilst Sinner is set to take on German Yannick Hanfmann on No.1 Court from 1pm.

Meanwhile Emma Raducanu looks to put months of injury misery to rest including missing last year's tournament when she faces Renata Zarazua after world No 22 Ekaterina Alexandrova was forced to withdraw through illness.

Mail Sport breaks down everything you need to know ahead of the first day at this year's Wimbledon tournament.
