Disgruntled tennis fans are NOT happy with this year's Wimbledon draw, claiming it has been 'rigged'.

Wimbledon 2023 starts on July 3, with fans up in arms over this morning's draw for the tournament.

Two-time Wimbledon winner Andy Murray meets fellow Brit Ryan Peniston in round one.

He would then face the winner of Stefanos Tsitsipas vs. Dominic Thiem in round two.

Novak Djokovic, who won last year's Wimbledon, takes on Argentine Pedro Cachin as he looks to defend his crown and equal Roger Federer's eight titles at the grass court major.

Following this morning's draw, fans are convinced the Serbian will claim an eighth Wimbledon title as they made their feelings known on social media.

One Twitter user said: "He’s obviously winning #8 sadly. Very easy easy draw. Sad."

A second fumed: "Wimbledon seems more rigged than the Oscars."

As for the women's draw, many of the grass court specialists find themselves in the bottom half.

Elena Rybakina, who won Wimbledon last year, Aryna Sabalenka, Karolina Muchova, Petra Kvitova, Karolina Pliskova and Ons Jabeur are among the stars in the bottom half of the draw.

As a result. No.1 seed Iga Swiatek won't face any of them until the final, making the Polish player a big favourite to go all the way.

The women's draw angered fans on social media.

One tweeted: "Rigged draw you clowns. Ain't no way you put all the best grass players in one half."

A second added: "2023 Wimbledon top 3 rigged draw? Discuss."

A third said: "This is the most rigged draw I have ever seen."

Another commented: "WTF Wimbledon draw is rigged."

What's your take? Let us know.
