Sir Andy Murray became the first British man to win Wimbledon for 77 years when he claimed his first title in 2013, but hopefully we won't have to wait that long to see another champion from these isles.
After steadily climbing the rankings in recent years, Jack Draper dreams of following in Murray's footsteps and with a powerful game that's well-suited to grass, the 23-year-old world No 6 is hoping to go all the way at SW19 this year.
Yet if Draper is to make it to his first-ever Grand Slam final on Sunday 13 July, he'll need to navigate a challenging field including reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz and world No 1 Jannik Sinner.
Meanwhile, the ladies' tournament looks more open than ever, with top stars such as Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff and Iga Świątek all desperate to win their first title on the grass courts of the All England Club.
Tim Henman will be watching on for the BBC when play gets under way this week and the 50-year-old spoke to TV&Satellite Week about his expectations for this year's tournament...
Do you think Jack Draper can challenge Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner at SW19 this year?
They are the favourites, with Novak Djokovic very close behind, but Jack is at the front of the group behind them - he's definitely in the mix. His game has improved considerably in the last 12 months and he's played some phenomenal tennis. He's still relatively inexperienced, but physically he's right up there with the very best. Alcaraz has won Wimbledon twice, so he knows his way around a grass court, but as a Brit, Jack played a lot of junior events on grass, which will help him, for sure.
