Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic will head into next week's tournament as the men's top seed, with Russian world No. 1 Daniil Medvedev banned from taking part while Germany's second-ranked Alexander Zverev is out injured.

Zverev had surgery on torn ligaments in his right ankle this month after he was forced to retire from his French Open semifinal against Rafael Nadal.
