2022 Wimbledon - Serena Williams, Rafael Nadal, Iga Swiatek and everyone you should know

The tennis world has made the transition from France to England, from Paris to London, and — perhaps, most importantly — from clay to grass.

It has been fewer than three weeks since the conclusion of the French Open, but — ready or not — it's time for Wimbledon. The players have made the switch from red to green — some better than others — and will now battle for the titles in the year's third major.

With the absence of reigning champion Ashleigh Barty following her surprising retirement earlier this year, no awardable ranking points available, nor any participating players from Russia or Belarus, this certainly will be a fortnight unlike any other.

Still, the tournament should provide all the compelling drama and competition we've come to expect at the All England Club.

From Serena Williams' return to Rafael Nadal's quest for 23(!) major titles, to three-time defending champion Novak Djokovic's attempt to get his season back on track, there is something for every fan at Wimbledon this year.

So what are the biggest storylines going into this year's tournament? Which players do you need to know about? Can anyone beat Iga Swiatek and put a stop to her 35-match victory streak? Does Nick Kyrgios — yes, we said it — actually have a chance to win it all? We try to answer all that and more ahead of Monday's opening-round matches.

A celebration we've missed
