Wimbledon 2024: Coco Gauff, Tommy Paul lead Americans in singles draws

The Wimbledon women's and men's singles draws were revealed Friday in London, setting the stage for the year's third Grand Slam. A grand total of 29 Americans are among the singles fields—18 women and 11 men—with five U.S. players seeded in each draw.

Coco Gauff enters at a career-high WTA ranking of world No. 2 and leads the American women as the tournament's second seed. Tommy Paul is seeded 12th, heading the list of American men, though 13th seed Taylor Fritz will be the No. 1 American when the tournament starts after his deep run this week in Eastbourne.

Also seeded on the women's side: No. 5 Jessica Pegula, No. 11 Danielle Collins, No. 12 Madison Keys and No. 19 Emma Navarro. The men's seeds are rounded out by No. 14 Ben Shelton, No. 20 Sebastian Korda and No. 29 Frances Tiafoe. (View the full women's draw and men's draw on the official Wimbledon website.)

Can Gauff continue Slam success?

Gauff has backed up her maiden major title at the 2023 US Open with a pair of semifinal runs this year at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. Now seeking a trip to the Wimbledon quarterfinals for the first time, the 20-year-old will open her campaign with an all-American matchup against Caroline Dolehide.

Gauff is joined by Navarro, Keys and Peyton Stearns in the bottom quarter, along with Sloane Stephens, who will meet Victoria Azarenka in the first round. The third quarter of the women's draw includes Taylor Townsend, qualifier McCartney Kessler and Emina Bektas, with Bektas set to take on third seed Aryna Sabalenka in the opening round.

Pegula, who won her first grass-court title in Berlin this month, will meet countrywoman Ashlyn Krueger in the first round. Qualifiers Alycia Parks and Robin Montgomery are also in the third quarter.

In the top quarter, the 21-year-old Shelton and 19-year-old Alex Michelsen could meet in the second round. Both open against qualifiers, while Aleksandar Kovacevic meets fifth seed Daniil Medvedev in the same section.

Four Americans are in the third quarter: Fritz, Korda, Mackenzie McDonald and Marcos Giron. Fritz, a Wimbledon quarterfinalist in 2022, opens against Aussie Christopher O'Connell and could face Kei Nishikori in the second round. Korda and McDonald are potential third-round opponents.

Returning quarterfinalist Chris Eubanks is the lone American in the bottom quarter, where he will start against French qualifier Quentin Halys. His path to another quarterfinal could go through Karen Khachanov, Holger Rune and Novak Djokovic, with seven-time champ Djokovic anchoring the men's draw as the second seed.

Singles play at Wimbledon begins on Monday, July 1, with the women's final scheduled for Saturday, July 13, and the men's championship to be held on Sunday, July 14.
