Wimbledon Tennis Championships begins in London today

The Wimbledon Tennis Championships will begin in London today. It will be 132nd edition of the prestigious Championships. The grass court Major, which attracts maximum eyeballs, is the third Grand Slam tournament of the year after the Australian Open and the Paris Open.

Swiss great Roger Federer will be playing his 20th consecutive Wimbledon. He is set to draw level with Jimmy Connors, who also made a record 20



Wimbledon appearances. Federer is once again the favourite to clinch his ninth title. 

The Gentlemen's singles draw was announced on Friday. Federer is placed in a relatively sparse top half of the draw alongside Marin Cilic and Kevin Anderson, while the bottom half weighs heavy with Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and Juan Martin Del Potro.
