Novak Djokovic's quest to win a 25th Grand Slam title continues at Wimbledon.
The Serbian great last tasted Grand Slam glory at the 2023 U.S Open but can take plenty of confidence from his performance at this year's Australian Open where he reached the final.
Djokovic is also returning to venue that he knows all too well, winning here seven times and finishing runner-up on three further occasions.
Despite obviously having reached the twilight of his glittering career, the 39-year-old is still operating at an elite level and will be buoyed by the absence of world number two Carlos Alcaraz, who is missing through injury.
We take a look at how Djokovic's route through to the final might pan out...
First round - Yibing Wu
Although Yibing Wu looks as if he's getting back to somewhere near his best, he is a heavy outsider to get the better of Djokovic in their first round clash.
The 26-year-old has been ranked as high as 56 in the world and also has an ATP 250 title to his name after winning the Dallas Open in 2023.
However, he has only registered one victory over a top 10 player in his career.
Second round - Stefanos Tsitsipas
This particular match-up has been a Grand Slam final on two occasions but the recent form of Stefanos Tsitsipas could see him meet Djokovic in just the second round at SW19.
Tsitsipas almost got his Grand Slam breakthrough against the Serb in the 2023 Australian Open final but Djokovic ground out an absolutely epic victory in Melbourne.
Third round - Arthur Rinderknech
Arthur Rinderknech's star is very much on the rise and is expected to perform well at Wimbledon this year.
Whilst he has never ventured further than the fourth round in any Grand Slam event, the Frenchman is playing the best tennis of his career and dumped Alexander Zverev out of Wimbledon in the first round last year.
Fourth round - João Fonseca
The prospect of a meeting between Joao Fonseca and Djokovic in the fourth round is truly one to savour.
Fonseca stunned Djokovic at Roland Garros this season, rallying from two sets down to complete a 4-6, 4-6, 6-3, 7-5, 7-5 victory over the 25-time Grand Slam champion.
At just 19, it is likely that Fonseca's best days are ahead of him, however, he has already proven that he has the talent to cause a major upset.
Quarter-final - Félix Auger-Aliassime
Should Felix Auger-Aliassime successfully navigate his way through his section of the draw then it looks all set up for a last eight meeting with Djokovic.
The Canadian heads to SW19 as the number three seed in tournament after moving up to a career-high fourth in the world rankings.
Semi-final - Jannik Sinner
World number one Jannik Sinner and Djokovic are on a collision course destined for a epic semi-final showdown.
Sinner -- without the presence of Alcaraz -- is quite clearly the best player at the championships and that is reflected by his heavy odds-on outright price of 8/15.
The Italian narrowly edges the head-to-head with six wins to Djokovic's five, but Sinner has dominated the rivalry in recent years.
Final - Ben Shelton
Ben Shelton is yet to reach the final of a Grand Slam but it looks a matter of time before he makes a Major breakthrough.
The 23-year-old has a favourable side of the draw and is developing into an extremely high-class all-round player. Shelton recently defeated fellow American Taylor Fritz in the final of the Stuttgart Open and in doing so became the first American male to win a title on all three surfaces in the same season since 2010.
Shelton added the Stuttgart Open to Dallas Open and BMW Open titles this term.
