Meanwhile, seven-times singles winner Serena Williams and her sister Venus, a five-times singles champion at the All England Club, were conspicuous by their absence. Serena, 40, has not played on the Tour since an injury during her first round match at last year’s Wimbledon championships forced her to withdraw while Venus’s last appearance was at a WTA 250 event in Chicago last August. In the men’s draw, Daniil Medvedev was the most notable omission due to the ban imposed by the All England Club. The Russian could even return to the top of the rankings without playing at Wimbledon as Novak Djokovic will lose the points he earned by lifting the title last year. read more Eight-times winner Roger Federer, who has not played since a quarter-final exit at Wimbledon last year, is also not on the entry list. Federer, 40, underwent another knee surgery last year and his coach had said in March that a return at Wimbledon was unlikely for the 20-times major winner. The wildcards for the June 27-July 10 tournament are yet to be announced.
