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.

Murray ended Britain’s long wait for a Wimbledon champion in 2013 before he repeated the feat three years later.

But his injury woes saw him miss out on the tournament last season and his current fitness will limit him to the doubles this time around.

Who are the British no.1s at Wimbledon?

In the men’s draw, current world number 31 Kyle Edmund (above) will be Britain’s leading hope.

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 and will be eager to do better.

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

As for the women, world number 19 Johanna Konta (below) 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.

Heather Watson (122), Katie Boulter (128) and Harriet Dart (170) are within the world’s top 200.
