Rennae Stubbs, former coach of Serena Williams and tennis commentator, chose Elena Rybakina as the favorite for Wimbledon and highlighted Muchova as a threat.

Both Muchova and Rybakina have a winning record of over 70% in their Wimbledon matches. Rybakina, the current champion, boasts an impressive 10-1 record at the tournament. Meanwhile, Muchova is currently experiencing the best moment of her career after reaching the final of the 2023 French Open, and she already has two quarterfinal appearances at Wimbledon, which she hopes to improve upon this year.

Rennae Stubbs, former coach of Serena Williams and tennis commentator, shared her opinion on what to expect in the women's side of Wimbledon:

"Wimbledon is gonna be great. I think Elena Rybakina is the favorite there in my opinion and Aryna Sabalenka," she said.

"I think they're the two probably best players on grass."

"So I think Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalanka and Elena Rybakina, those three are the three," she continued. "And I really think that Karolina Muchova, if she stays healthy, I think she is a real threat at Wimbledon," Stubbs added.

"If Ons Jabuer finds her form, you know look it was a bit of a disaster the way she lost her match at the French Open."

"But I think given the fact that she's had a lot of injuries this year, I think she'll feel really good about going on the grass because she will have had enough tennis under her belt and we all know how great she is on the grass and nobody wants to play around the surface," she concluded.
