The women's heft will be without last year's semifinalist No. 6 Aryna Sabalenka, French Open semifinalist Daria Kasatkina and No. 20 Victoria Azarenka, all for reasons of flag and country. Roger Federer, the eight-time champion, will miss the tournament for the first time since he debuted here 23 summers ago.

While the target was the grass-court major, it is the players who've been hit the hardest - some more than others, unable even to defend their gains from 2021.
