Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz says it feels "more special" to return to Wimbledon as he prepares to open play on Centre Court when the tournament starts on Monday.
Spain's Alcaraz, now 21, beat seven-time champion Novak Djokovic in last year's final, despite it being only his fourth grass-court tournament.
Tradition dictates the reigning men's champion starts his defence in the first match on Centre Court.
Therefore, third seed Alcaraz meets Estonian qualifier Mark Lajal at 13:30 BST on the iconic show court.
"I always say it is great to be back here at Wimbledon. It is more special to be the defending champion," said Alcaraz, who arrives on the back of winning the third major of his career at the French Open.
"Great memories last year, great run. I'm excited to start the tournament and hopefully have the same result as last year,” he added.
