Novak Djokovic begins his title defence against a qualifier, while women’s champion Coco Gauff opens against France’s Varvara Gracheva.
In the men’s draw, world number one Jannik Sinner, French Open and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz and former US Open winner Daniil Medvedev have all landed in the same half.
Australian Open champion Sinner could meet last year’s runner-up Medvedev in the quarter-finals before facing Alcaraz for a place in the final.
Alcaraz and Sinner have been touted as the new rivalry to watch on the ATP Tour and played a five-hour quarter-final epic back in 2022, when Alcaraz went on to win the title.
Italy’s Sinner was cleared of any wrongdoing earlier this week after twice testing positive for a banned substance in March.
Olympic champion Djokovic also has a tricky draw, with recent Montreal Open champion Alexei Popyrin potentially waiting in the third round, followed by home hopes Frances Tiafoe or Ben Shelton.
In the women’s tournament, top seed Iga Swiatek opens against a qualifier, as does in-form favourite Aryna Sabalenka.
Second seed Sabalenka could potentially set up a rematch of last year’s final against Gauff in the semis, but the American 20-year-old has landed in the same quarter as Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova and compatriot Emma Navarro, who beat her at SW19 earlier this year.
