As in tradition, Wimbledon champion Alcaraz will play the first match on Centre Court, taking on Italy’s Fognini at 1.30pm on Monday afternoon. British hopeful Katie Boulter will take to the main stage following Alcaraz’s match, with three-time Grand Slam finalist Alexander Zverev in the final Centre Court game.

Despite the jaw-dropping figure, it still fails to top Serena Williams' 2003 NetPro signed patch rookie card, which sold for $266,400 in 2024. Alcaraz is known for his ability to succeed and adapt across all three playing surfaces.

The Spanish star is coming off a rousing French Open win, while Jannik Sinner looks to regroup following a narrow loss at Roland Garros.
