It is not long now until SW19 hosts the annual tennis extravaganza that is Wimbledon, with the third Grand Slam event of the year taking place between Monday 30 June and Sunday 13 July.
Witness the future of tennis unfold
Tennis has seen a changing of the guard in recent years. Three of the most dominant players of the past two decades in Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Sir Andy Murray have all hung up their racquets, while former world number one and multiple Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic seems a shadow of his former self.
In their place, we have seen the rise of young talents such as 23-year-old current world number one Jannik Sinner, and the 22-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz who will be looking to retain the title he won last year.
British interest in the men’s competition will be headed up by Jack Draper. The 23-year-old has had a wonderful 12 months, including winning his first ATP title and breaking into the world’s top five. Will we see Henman Hill/Murray Mount, renamed to Draper’s Dune? Only time will tell.
Can Raducanu emulate US success?
In the women’s tournament, current world number one Aryna Sabalenka will be looking to add the Wimbledon crown to her Australian and US Open titles, but she will have fierce competition from the likes of Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff, and the current champion, Barbora Krejcikova.
After her stunning 2021 US Open victory, Emma Raducanu seems to have found some form and fitness, and will be spearheading British hopes of a first women’s champion since Virgina Wade in 1977. Katie Boulter will also be looking to impress in front of home support as the world number 40 looks to get past the third round for the first time in her career.
