Who are the British no.1s at Wimbledon with Andy Murray not playing singles? Who are the top seeds at the tournament?

Andy Murray will return to Wimbledon this summer but only to compete in the doubles, meaning British fans will have to look elsewhere for a homegrown champion.

Who are the British no.1s at Wimbledon?

In the men’s draw, British hopes were on current world number 31 Kyle Edmund (above) but he fell out of the tournament in round 2 after being beaten in five sets by Spain’s Fernando Verdasco.

The 24-year-old reached the third round last summer in his best performance at the All England Club.

Cameron Norrie, ranked 49 in the world, has failed to get past the first round at the Grand Slam but did make it into the second round this year where he'll face Kei Nishikori.

Dan Evans (65) and Jay Clarke (166) are the only other British men within the world’s top 200.

Both made it past round 1 with Evans now facing Nikoloz Basilashvili and Clarke with a mouth-watering clash with the legendary Roger Federer.

As for the women, world number 19 Johanna Konta (above) will likely be Britain’s best chance of a champion.

She suffered a shock second round exit last year but did reach the semi-finals in 2017. She'll face Katerina Siniakova in round 2 this year.

Heather Watson (122) was beaten in the second round while Harriet Dart (170) is set to face Beatriz Haddad Maia.
