Reigning French Open: Reigning Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova will open her title defence against 2025 breakout star Alexandra Eala of the Philippines on Centre Court, while Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek are projected to face off in the quarterfinals as the draw for the Championships was made on Friday.

Krejcikova missed the first five months of 2025 due to a back injury and had to withdraw from this week's Eastbourne quarterfinals due to a thigh injury.

On the other hand, the 20-year-old Eala, who reached her first grass-court semifinal this week in Eastbourne, captured the tennis world's attention in March by defeating three Grand Slam champions -- Jelena Ostapenko, Madison Keys and Swiatek -- to reach the Miami semifinals.
