The Spaniard will enter the SW19 tournament off the back of a superb run at the French Open and is currently on track for the Calendar Slam.

Nadal, 36, won the Australian Open back in January and went on to win his 14th title at Roland-Garros earlier in June.

23-time Grand Slam winner Serena Williams has made a shock announcement that she will play at Wimbledon. She will enter the singles tournament with a wildcard and is still bidding to win another Major in order to level with Margaret Court’s all-time record of 24 Grand Slam wins.
