Play along with Fantasy Wimbledon 2026 – At least $742 / €650 / £561 in prizes!
Tennis NewsFriday, 26 June 2026 at 13:09
On the sacred grass of Wimbledon, the battle for the third Grand Slam title of 2026 will take place over the next two weeks. Grass-court tennis is known for its fast pace, short rallies, and the way it narrows the gap between players, making upsets more likely.
Defending champion Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favorite in the men's tournament, but the Italian suffered an early exit at Roland-Garros. As a result, the title dream has become much more realistic for his rivals. Among the main contenders are Alexander Zverev, Novak Djokovic, Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, and British hope Jack Draper.
In the women's draw, the spotlight is not focused on world number one Aryna Sabalenka this time. Instead, it is Serena Williams who is stealing the headlines. The seven-time Wimbledon champion returns at the age of 44 and is immediately considered a serious outsider for the title. Sabalenka remains the slight favorite, but Elena Rybakina, Mirra Andreeva, Coco Gauff, and defending champion Iga Swiatek are all close behind.

Wimbledon: Where Anything Can Happen
Grass-court tennis is unlike any other surface. The faster conditions and lower bounce create shorter rallies and often reduce the gap between the very best players and the rest of the field. That makes Wimbledon one of the most unpredictable tournaments of the year and a fantastic event for fantasy sports.
Men's Tournament
Defending champion Jannik Sinner starts the tournament as the favourite. However, after his disappointing early exit at Roland Garros, several rivals will believe they have a realistic chance of lifting the famous Wimbledon trophy.
Among the biggest challengers are:
- Novak Djokovic
- Alexander Zverev
- Jack Draper
- Ben Shelton
- Taylor Fritz
Can Sinner bounce back and defend his title, or will a new champion emerge at the All England Club?
Women's Tournament
The women's draw promises plenty of intrigue as well.
While world number one Aryna Sabalenka remains one of the favourites, much of the attention is focused on the remarkable return of Serena Williams. The seven-time Wimbledon champion is back at the age of 44 and immediately becomes one of the most fascinating stories of the tournament.
Alongside Sabalenka and Serena, several stars will be aiming for Grand Slam glory:
- Iga Swiatek (defending champion)
- Elena Rybakina
- Coco Gauff
- Mirra Andreeva
With so many contenders capable of making deep runs, selecting the right players for your fantasy team could prove decisive.

- Condescending Collins and her Elitist pal Williams need to go away... for good.
mandoist25-06-2026 - This way she can continue her part-time unserious nonsense, withdraw from Wimbledon if it's too hot... and still keep her Sponsor$ Stop wasting everyone's time.mandoist25-06-2026
- Well said Ajila. Thank you for not being afraid to tell it like it is!! Hopefully your colleagues, their teams, and others will grow a set of real balls and FINALLY take WTA & ITIA to task for their varying degrees of treatment and mistakes. For all the good they do -- it only takes one poorly orchestrated in-house decision to ruin what little reputation they possess.mandoist24-06-2026
- That was extreme bullshit for Pliskova to say such senseless things! Perhaps an experience like Petra Kvitova went through, when an unkown person attacked her at home, might give Pliskova a bit of enlightenment before stating such ignorance? If ITIA wants to play cops-and-robbers they had better wear badges, ID's, and so. There's absolutely no need for intimidation; something I have witnessed at tourneys from a two of these people acting tough and gruff behind the scenes. Again, it's a systemic problem in every situation when these entities are accountable to no one but themselves.mandoist24-06-2026
- UPDATE: Note how the tennis commentators have apparently been afraid to take a stand on Vondrousova's unfair treatment. Nary a word at all. Players are reticent to speak out too strongly as well. Why? Because the WTA / ITIA Dictatorship will find a way to censure you... and, as we have witnessed, even send their bought-and-paid-for law firms after you.mandoist24-06-2026
- Wimbledon's "body count" is now at 16 Withdrawals. Plus their maltreatment of Vondrousova makes it 17 Total.mandoist23-06-2026
- Oh, ITIA "investigated" itself. There ya go, end of story! ITIA is a questionable independent organization, in bed with WTA; both with no accounting to anyone. They have ruined careers unnecessarily, in part by NEVER admitting mistakes nor compromised testings. The agent/tester made the error by a sudden knock at the door. "Unannounced" or not, randomly appearing on someone's property can end in any of a number of ways... and not necessarily a happy ending. At my home anyone going past the property line and warning sign gets a special welcome. It's the 21st Century and we have these things you can use to call someone to announce your arrival while keeping your distance.mandoist23-06-2026
- The Williams Sham & Scam will unfortunately continue. Sorry up & coming young players -- but WTA & Venues don't care about you.mandoist22-06-2026
- Sickening, Unfair, and Pathetic. BTW: Any "history" made is in the past. Returning from faux retirement your "hstory" starts over -- you don't just pickup where you left off. Shameful to see someone need the spotlight so bad she is happy to steal Wildcardsmandoist22-06-2026
- Diana's emotions and reactions prove her dedication and extreme drive to succeed. Her workouts are as strenuous as any of her peers. Just as driven on the practice courts. Her priorities to tennis are obvious, unlike several others. A fierce competitor should be allowed his/her honest emotional displays without having to answer for them. I submit the media weasels 'Think Before They Speak' at pressers.mandoist19-06-2026
