Jannik Sinner enters the competition among the favourites in the men’s game, but he faces stern opposition from the likes of young pretender Carlos Alcaraz and wily veteran Novak Djokovic, who isn’t finished yet.

British fans have plenty to be excited about, with Jack Draper and Katie Boulter among the seeded players and both sitting in their highest ever positions in the ATP and WTA Rankings respectively.
