I think qualifying matches already underway.

Bianca Andreescu will sit out due to an injure shoulder.

The full draw is out. FAA gets Posposil (coming back from injury) in Round 1 so should effectively be a walkover. Shapo looks to have a winnable first round but doubt he'll get past Tsonga in second round.

Elsewhere there are potential early round fireworks as Nadal and Kyrgios could meet in second round. As far as I know Nadal hasn't played any meaningful grass court matches in preparation. Shapo would meet Nadal in the third round if they get there. Roger potentially doesn't have a challenge until the fourth round.

Do you see any male under 30 making a breakthrough?

Looks like 23 year old Ash Barty is the number 1 woman now.

Um, not sure what you mean by breakthrough. I would pick the Italian Berrittini (big serve,big game), Goffin and Tsitsipas (not sure if he's fully healthy though) as under 30's that could go deep at Wimbledon. Who would you pick?

To be honest, I have not follow the players closely at all in recent years. Of course, I know about the "Big 3" but it seems there is no consistent 4-5-6.

Big upsets already - Zverev, out. Tsitsipas, out. Osaka, out.
Zverev and Tsitipas are supposed to be the next generation. Even I heard of them.

I think Osaka beat Serena at the U.S. Open last year and is also suppose to be the next generation.

The old guard of Federer, Djokic, Nadal and Serena have weathered about 3 "next generations".

Venus Williams is way past her best before date. Lost to a 15 year old.

Shapo has a win against against Tsitsipas in Australia, he plays his opening round match soon. Correction he's beaten the Greek twice.

Shapovalov lost in singles. Don't know if he plays doubles.

FAA playing now.

Shapo has all the talent in the world but his shot selection is poor. Opponents have figured out how to work him, hang in on the opening games and allow the unforced errors to pile up. He had chances to break Berankis's serve and kept duecing. In the first game of the third set, Shapo had triple break point and ate it. The result was a foregone conclusion, I stopped watching.

He needs a stern coach to turn him from a crowd pleaser to a player that can earn winners consistently. He needs an Ivan Ledl or Amelie Maurismo.
