When are the 2022 Wimbledon Championships? When is the draw? What are the dates & schedule?
The grasscourt season has garnered plenty of headlines following the WTA and ATP's decision to strip the 2022 Wimbledon Championships of ranking points, following the tournament's controversial move to ban Russian and Belarusian players.
Despite the controversy surrounding the tournament, almost all top players feature on the entry list for the 2022 Championships. Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek will lead the men's and women's fields respectively, alongside multi-time champions Rafael Nadal and Petra Kvitova.

The previous edition of the men's singles final saw Djokovic oust Matteo Berrettini in four sets for a sixth title at the grasscourt Slam. Ashleigh Barty, who beat Karolina Pliskova in the 2021 ladies' singles finals, will miss this year's tournament following her retirement.
The entry list has a few notable absentees, including former champions Roger Federer, Venus and Serena Williams. Leylah Fernandez, who sustained a leg injury at the 2022 French Open, will also give the grasscourt Slam a miss.
Three other former ladies' singles champions, Simona Halep, Garbine Muguruza and Angelique Kerber, will add star power to the ladies' draw. They will, however, be in for a stern challenge from a varied mix of seasoned campaigners and future stars.
Organizers recently announced that the tournament will offer record prize money of £40.35 million, with the gentlemen's and ladies' singles champions taking home £2,000,000 each and the runners-up pocketing £1,050,000.
