Originally posted on FirstSportz | By Gouri Das | Last updated Jun 23, 2025 4:54 PM ET

Players on both the WTA and ATP tours have started their preparation for the biggest grass-court tournament- the Wimbledon Championships. The qualifying rounds are currently underway at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, while the main draw is scheduled to start on June 30.

ATP events of the 500 category were concluded on Sunday (June 22). Alexander Bublik lifted his second Halle Open title by beating Daniil Medvedev, while Carlos Alcaraz became a grass-court champion for the fourth time by beating Jiri Lehecka at the Queen’s Club Championships.

On the WTA Tour, Marketa Vondrousova overcame Wang Xinyu in the Berlin Open, while the Bad Homburg Open is currently underway. Vondrousova will be entering Wimbledon as one of the favorites, not just because of her Berlin win, but because she was the winner at SW19 in 2023.

In men’s events, Alcaraz will be entering Wimbledon as the two-time defending champion. He defeated 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in the last two finals. The Spaniard will be chasing his fifth title of the season in the grass-court Major after his victories in Rotterdam, Monte Carlo, Rome, and Paris.

Djokovic, on the other hand, will be bidding to win his historic 25th Major and his first since the 2023 US Open. The 38-year-old will also be aiming to win his eighth Wimbledon title. Djokovic was denied the Calendar Grand Slam by Alcaraz in 2023 and since the 2023 US Open, the Serb reached only one Major final, in the Wimbledon last year. The 38-year-old last lifted Wimbledon in 2022 by beating Nick Kyrgios.

Apart from him and Alcaraz, World No.1 Jannik Sinner is also a contender in the tournament. The three-time Grand Slam champion, who lost to Alcaraz in this year’s French Open final, was the semifinalist at Wimbledon in 2023 and was defeated in the quarterfinals last year by Medvedev.

He and Alcaraz share the last six Grand Slam titles between them. Before Wimbledon, he played in the Halle Open to defend his title but lost in the second round to Bublik.

Last year, Barbora Krejcikova beat Jasmine Paolini to lift her second Grand Slam title following the 2021 French Open. Paolini is a two-time Grand Slam finalist, having reached the championship match of last year’s French Open, losing the final to Iga Swiatek. The five-time Grand Slam champion hasn’t yet reached a tour-level singles final since lifting her fourth Roland Garros title by beating Paolini.

In this year’s French Open, the Pole progressed to the semifinal but couldn’t go past World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka. The Belarusian reached her first French Open final but was defeated by Coco Gauff in three sets. Sabalenka is a two-time semifinalist at Wimbledon, reaching the last four in 2021 and 2023. Skipped the tournament last year due to an injury.

Gauff has never progressed beyond the fourth round of the grass-court Grand Slam event. Last year, her campaign was ended by compatriot Emma Navarro. Elena Rybakina too will be entering the tournament as one of the favorites as she lifted the title in 2022 by beating Ons Jabeur, the two-time finalist here.

Roger Federer has lifted eight Wimbledon titles, the most in men’s tennis in the Open Era. In women’s tennis, Martina Navratilova emerged victorious nine times. Since 23-time Grand Slam singles champion Serena Williams, there have been seven different champions as no player could win it twice.
