The 2023 Wimbledon Championships is officially starting tomorrow – Monday, June 26th. This is the very first day of qualifying, and technically speaking, this marks the beginning of the tournament. Of course, the purpose of qualifying is to see which of the lower-ranked players can make it into the main draw. On that note, in order to qualify, a player must win three matches against other qualifiers in a row. Only then will they have made it into the main draw for the third Grand Slam of the season.
On the men’s side, this would allow them to join the likes of Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon 2023, as well as guys like Djokovic, Kyrgios and others. As for the women, it gives them a chance to go up against players such as Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, Aryna Sabalenka, and other top contenders. At the same time, being able to qualify for a slam has massive implications for these players for their ranking and finances.
Anyway, as mentioned, the qualifiers are starting on June 26th, and there is a fair bit that I’d like to share with you before the first ball gets hit. Therefore, let me now cover the major areas relating to Wimbledon qualifying right now.
Dates for Wimbledon Qualifying 2023
Contents
Before I cover any of the other important details such as the draw, top seeds, and how this relates to the main draw, you need to be aware of the dates. After all, by knowing the dates, you can tune in for the action and watch some great matches before we reach the stage of the main draw. So to give you the specifics, the men’s singles qualifying will start on June 26th. As for the women’s singles qualifying, this won’t start until Tuesday, June 27th. And ultimately, the qualifying will continue until Thursday, June 29th.
This is the final day of the qualifiers and when all is said and done, we will know who the official qualifiers are. In total, 16 players from the men’s qualifiers will make the main draw and 16 will qualify for the women’s main draw.
Wimbledon Qualifying 2023 Top Seeds – Men’s Singles
Just like there is for the main draw of the Wimbledon Championships, there are seeded players for the men’s qualifiers. As for the top-seeded qualifiers this year, I can reveal the top five seeds for you right here:
- Matteo Arnaldi – Seed 1
- Thanasi Kokkinakis – Seed 2
- Fabian Marozsan – Seed 3
- Taro Daniel – Seed 4
- Radu Albot – Seed 5
These are the top seeds out of 32 players that have officially received a seeding for the qualifying draw. And when it comes to other names in the qualifying draw that are also seeded, you’ve got guys like Seyboth Wild, James Duckworth, Rinky Hijikata, and many others.
Top Seeds for Wimbledon Qualifying 2023 – Women’s Singles
In the exact same fashion as the men’s qualifiers, there are 32 seeds for the women’s qualifiers. The same 16 spots for the main draw are available, as referenced above. And due to the rankings of the players at the time that they entered the tournament, the following seeds have been awarded:
- Clara Burel – Seed 1
- Vera Zvonareva – Seed 2
- Olga Danilovic – Seed 3
- Su-Wei Hsieh – Seed 4
- Diana Shnaider – Seed 5
All of these top seeds are ranked around the 100 mark, so they’ve just narrowly missed out on a direct main draw position.
Draw for Wimbledon Qualifying – Key Matches
Given that the official draw has been released for the men’s singles qualifying, we can take a look at the upcoming matches to see what games have serious potential. In this respect, I mean the games that could well be extremely entertaining, whether watching in person or through the multiple streaming channels that are available. On that note, I’ve analyzed the qualifying draw for the men’s singles, scheduled for June 26th, and I recommend that you tune in for the following:
- Kokkinakis vs Reidi
- Sels vs Seyboth Wild
- Otte vs Paire
- Hijikata vs Bolt

Just to clarify, all of these matches are scheduled for Monday, June 26th. And since there are just four matches scheduled for each court tomorrow, these games will take place between 11 AM and early evening – depending on the length of matches.
