I'm still number three – Alexander Zverev ready to go far at Wimbledon
The German is preparing to make his ninth appearance in the tournament and will face the Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech in the first round.
En route to the Championships Zverev was in action at the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle, where he reached the semi-final, prior to which he lost to Taylor Fritz in the final of the Stuttgart Open.
'I had pretty good preparation. Played a final, played a semi-final, worked through those tournaments as well,' he said.
'I think people are forgetting I'm still number three in the world and I'm number three in the race.
'I've had a few maybe losses here and there, which were normal, (some) which were maybe unexpected.
'All in all, I feel like my form has been coming back the last few weeks, few months.
'I'm looking forward to this championship. I think I can play well here.'
Stefanos Tsitsipas will play his first Grand Slam under the tutelage of new coach Goran Ivanisevic, formerly responsible for training Novak Djokovic.
The Greek 26-year-old, who was in action at the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic at the Hurlingham Club, said of his new mentor: 'He's been great. He's a great human being and I feel like our relationship has strengthened and become much better than what I would have expected it to be.
'I will obviously focus on the training and all of the procedures that are necessary for me to improve, and I'll make sure to get to know him better, be curious around him and ask him advice outside of all the tennis too because I feel like he can help me with so much experience that he has gained over the course of his career.
'I think the best thing that Goran has kind of stated and made clear is that he's not coaching Novak Djokovic right now and we're kind of starting from scratch.
'He's coaching me in a way as if I just started playing tennis, which is a great thing because it's very down to earth and a very humbling experience as a player to get to experience that.
'There are no expectations, obviously he doesn't expect me to, from tomorrow, start winning Grand Slams one after the other like Novak.
'Every small success that I manage to achieve with him, it doesn't have to be a huge, but every small success is a huge success.'

Frankfurt finisher Ekitike could be the answer for Mikel Arteta
Arsenal's long search for a striker capable of scoring the goals to lead them to their first Premier League title in 22 years has switched to another target, Frenchman Hugo Ekitike. The Gunners have been linked with a number of forwards already this summer with Sporting's Viktor Gyokeres, RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko, Bradley Barcola from Paris-Saint Germain and many others reported to be on their radar. The latest suggestion is Eintracht Frankfurt forward Ekitike is also on their shopping list although there's fierce competition to sign the 23-year-old France international with Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United weighing up potential swoops. Ekitike scored 22 goals for the Bundesliga club last season and his finishing is exactly what is required at Arsenal, who were runners-up once again last term with Liverpool easing to the title. Mikel Arteta's long journey to bring his process at Emiratesto fruition and end that unwanted streak without the championship have not been helped by the Reds and Manchester City already making major moves in the transfer market. With Arne Slot having already spent more than £200million on new recruits this summer his chances of signing Ekitike may have to be placed on hold until the expected departure of Darwin Nunez to Serie A champions Napoli is completed. Getting £60million for their Uruguay striker would offset the £40m needed to sign Ekitike and help balance the books with Jarell Quansah on his way to Leverkusen and Andrew Robertson and Harvey Elliott also set to leave Anfield. The Reds are 4/1 with bet365 to win the Ekitike sweepstakes with Chelsea 13/2 with Unibet and BetMGM while all three firms have him heading to Old Trafford at 8/1. Arsenal are 18/1 with Bet Victor which appears a big price if their other attempted bids are falling short. It's interesting to note, however, that the shortest price in the Ekitike transfer market is the 6/4 with bet365 that he is still with Frankfurt when business in the current window is concluded. Alexander Bublik is the dark horse everyone wanted to avoid when the draw was made for the men's singles at Wimbledon. He has enjoyed a marvellous build-up to the grass-court grand slam by winning the title in Halle after beating Jannik Sinner in the last 16 and Daniil Medvedev in the final and he has also showed he has the mental and physical strengths to thrive under pressure when defeating Alex de Minaur and Jack Draper on his way to the French Open quarter-finals. More Trending Back the mercurial Kazakh at 13/10 with Bet Victor to win in straight sets in his open ending match against Spain's Jaume Munar. Double Wimbledon women's champion Petra Kvitova looks as though she will be waving goodbye to SW19 for the last time on day two when she faces Emma Navarro. The 2011 and 2014 queen of the All England Club has announced she's retiring after the US Open in New York in September and the 35-year-old faces a tough task against her American opponent, a quarter-finalist last year. Kvitova may take it to the deciding set but tenth seed Navarro is 16/5 with Ladbrokes and Coral to win 2-1.

Line judges, strawberries and more breaks: What's new at this year's Wimbledon Championships
This year's Wimbledon tennis championships has begun with the hottest opening day on record, according to the Met Office. Temperatures reached a provisional high of 29.7C at Kew Gardens in west London on Monday afternoon, surpassing the previous record of 29.3C set in June 2001. But the heat isn't the only unusual feature at this year's championships - there are changes to the rules on court, the judges and even the strawberries will be different. Here, ITV News runs you through the changes. The most Brits taking part since the 1980s There's 23 Brits competing at this year's Championships in the men's and women's singles, with the figures exceeding 50 whenthe doubles, wheelchair event and Juniors are added - the most since 1984. The ones to watch will include Jack Draper, ranked fourth in the world, the highest seeded British player since the former champion Andy Murray back in 2017. The 23-year-old goes into the tournament as a legitimate title contender and a top-four seeding means he will avoid Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner until the semi-finals. Draper is one of 13 British players in the men's singles, alongside Pinnington Jones, Cam Norries and Jacob Fearnley. Another to watch is Emma Raducanu, hoping to build on last year's fourth round at the All England Club in the women's singles, after regaining her position as Britain's number one. But we also can't rule out the debutant and teenager Mimi Xi, the 17-year-old wildcard who's drawn against Raducanu in the first round. The welsh player from Swansea has already beaten top-100 players on grass already this summer, taking home her first win of the WTA Tour in Nottingham. No more line judges This year will be the first championship where line judges will be replaced by an electronic system, after 148 years of service. The role of the line judge was to assist the umpire by calling whether a ball lands in or out - you may have seen them decked in Ralph Lauren and positioned on the boundary line of the court. A fully automated version of the 'Hawk-Eye' system is to be used at the Wimbledon Championships, ITV News' Aisha Zahid explains Since 2007, Hawk-Eye has assisted the officials at Wimbledon on certain courts, with players able to challenge line calls, but the system will now be fully automated across all courts. The technology is already widely used in the sport, including at the Australian Open and US Open. The system has already been used during the qualifiers at Roehampton and will continue to be used for the rest of the Championships. Wimbledon said the decision had been made as they "consider the technology to be sufficiently robust" and an "important step in seeking maximum accuracy in [their] officiating", but this hasn't been met entirely with a warm reception. One major concern for Wimbledon had been the loss of a prestigious opportunity for officials and the effect this could have at the lower levels of the sport, but ultimately progress has won out. The French Open, which has relied solely on human officials, is now the outlier, although it may well follow suit, with all ATP Tour events to feature the technology from next year. Wimbledon's lesser-used heat rule It's the hottest start to the Championships on record, with temperatures serving up to 34C, which will prove challenges both on and off the court. There's currently an amber heat health alert in place for parts of England and will require precautions to take place for both athletes and spectators. Wimbledon has decided to trigger their lesser-used heat rule, which means when the temperatures breach 30.1C there will be extra ten minute breaks in play. It will apply to all matches, including those which have already started, and only one of the players participating in the match needs to request the break for the rule to be implemented. Players are allowed to leave the court during this break, but they cannot receive any coaching or medical treatment. Fans have been camped outside for days to bag a spot at the front of the famous Wimbledon queues with the earliest getting there from Friday. If you are planning to join the queue for day passes, don't forget a hat, water and plenty of SPF. Bigger, better but more expensive strawberries With cream, with sugar, or, according to Sir Andy Murray, "with my fingers", there's no question that the fruit is a quintessential part of every Wimbledon Championships, and this year they're the biggest and sweetest on record. Due to an unusually sunny spring, with the highest levels recorded by the Met Office in more than 100 years, paired with some cooler weather, which has allowed the crop to develop slowly with sweeter results. Heightened bee activity during March and April has also resulted in excellent pollination - an essential factor in producing the classic strawberry shape. But as with everything, it comes at a price. The price of the iconic Wimbledon strawberries has been raised for the first time in 15 years. This year the price of one punnet will increase by 20p, from £2.50 to £3.20, the highest it's been since 2010.
