🔍 Predictions & Players to Watch
Wimbledon is no stranger to upsets — just ask Coco Gauff, who stunned Venus Williams here in 2019 at age 15. ESPN analysts suggest this year may follow similar drama, with Novak Djokovic chasing an eighth Wimbledon crown, while contenders like Zverev, Jack Draper, and Taylor Fritz are poised to disrupt the hierarchy.
On the women’s side, World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka breezed past Carson Branstine in straight sets on Monday, reinforcing her status as a top favorite.
If last month’s French Open — which saw both men’s and women’s finals contested between the No. 1 and No. 2 seeds — is any indicator, we may be in for another thrilling fortnight of high-stakes tennis.
Stay tuned as the Wimbledon 2025 drama unfolds, promising elite performances, rising stars, and unforgettable moments on tennis’ grandest stage.
