Wimbledon 2024 draw: Iga Swiatek faces Sofia Kenin in round one, reigning champion Marketa Vondrousova in same quarter
Swiatek will face former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in her opening match, and has reigning winner Marketa Vondrousova in the same quarter
Recently-crowed French Open winner Iga Swiatek was handed a tricky draw on Friday after the women’s singles draw for the 137th edition of the Wimbledon Championships was announced at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.
Swiatek will face former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin in her opening match, and has reigning winner Marketa Vondrousova in the same quarter and former Wimbledon titlist Elena Rybakina in the same half.
This is the third time Swiatek will face Kenin on the tour. Both previous meetings were in a Grand Slam tournament. The Pole won both matches, including a meeting in the Roland Garros final in 2020, in straight sets.
