The cream of tennis meets in Wimbledon 2024 to live two weeks full of excitement and spectacle. The third Grand Slam of the season is packed with incentives and reasons to pay close attention to everything that happens at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in both individual draws.
Days of great intensity are coming in which every good tennis fan will be very attentive to the development of Wimbledon 2024This could be a very special Grand Slam tournament, with big stakes, legends facing tough situations and several contenders for glory. Carlos Alcaraz arrives as current champion, like Marketa Vondrousovabut it won’t be easy for them to defend their crown.
1. Jannik Sinner and his desire to continue proving that he is the best at the moment
The Italian is having a memorable season and, although he already knows that, whatever happens, he will leave London as world number 1, he is eager to win a new Grand Slam title. His game adapts perfectly to this surface and he arrives with confidence after winning in Halle.
2. Carlos Alcaraz, magic to settle in paradise
What Carlitos did last year in this tournament will be remembered for a long time, but his legacy could experience a memorable boost if he were able to retain the title, something that would also mean winning in Paris and London in the same season.
3. Novak Djokovic, miracles exist
That the Serbian can compete in the Cathedral of Tennis is a true gift for all fans, but now it remains to be seen if we are witnessing, once again, one of those logically inexplicable miracles with which the Serbian has forged his legend. If he is in acceptable condition, he will be a strong candidate to win.
4. Andy Murray’s farewell
Excitement is in abundance if the Briton is able to take to the court. His presence in the singles draw is in serious doubt, but it seems reasonable that he could compete in doubles. Seeing Murray one last time on the Wimbledon court will be an enormous emotional charge. He deserves a farewell in keeping with his memorable career.
5. The second line’s attempts to move to the front line
Tsitsipas, Zverev, Medvedev, Rune, Fritz, Rublev, Dimitrov, De Minaur, Hurkacz… There are many names that appear as alternatives to the power established by the current Big 3. It will be interesting to see if any of them are capable of challenging the best and get fully into the fight for the title.
6. Iga Swiatek and a pending subject
A number 1 as dominant as the Polish one has to resolve her doubts on grass, sooner or later. It is not easy for Iga to recover from the stressful grass tour and arrive with physical and mental clairvoyance at this tournament, but she has the conditions to present her credentials to glory in London.
7. Golden opportunity for the best
Gauff, Rybakina and Sabalenka. All of them already know what it is to win a Grand Slam and are aware of how difficult it is to take advantage of the windows of opportunity that Swiatek can provide. The Kazakh has already tasted the honey of triumph in London, while Cori and Aryna seek to take a step forward.
8. Numerous alternatives with the capacity to surprise
Jessica Pegula is expected to do well at this event, as are Zheng, Paolini and Jabeur, who has already shown many times how comfortable she is on grass. Keys, Ostapenko and Azarenka also have everything they need to have a dream two weeks and become strong contenders for the title.
9. The role of old glories
Naomi Osaka’s performance in Paris has been a huge thrill for fans and although the London grass may not seem like the best possible venue for her, it will be interesting to see what she is capable of. Kerber and Pliskova are not in their prime, but they have had great success on this stage.
10. The possible resurgence of Emma Raducanu and a utopian déjà vu of Mirra Andreeva
They are two of the tennis players with the most media attention and who generate the most interest among lovers of this sport, and both appear at Wimbledon full of ambition and expectations. The British is free of physical problems and ready to show that she is getting closer to her best level, while Mirra aspires to emulate Sharapova twenty years after her compatriot triumphed in the tournament.
Maria Sharapova’s age the day she won Wimbledon:
17 years, 2 months, 14 days
Mirra Andreeva’s age on this year’s Wimbledon final:
17 years, 2 months, 14 days
