Wimbledon 2025 is upon us, with the WTA draw this year being anyone's to win. Barbora Krejcikova is the defending champion and will defend it between Monday, 30 June, and Sunday, 13 July.
As ever Wimbledon especially on the women's side is unpredictability central with Marketa Vondrousova and Krejcikova winning it in the last two years. Iga Swiatek has never fared great on grass since juniors and Aryna Sabalenka has missed it two out of the last three years. So ahead of the Grand Slam, follow it all here.

Predictions
Samuel Gill, Head Editor for TennisUpToDate.com sees a perhaps outside winner returning to win it once more.
Elena Rybakina for me strangely is my pick. Amid all the issues she has faced all year around her coach Stefano Vukov, she is great on this surface and was compared to Lindsay Davenport by Martina Navratilova.
I see too much fragility in the work of Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek. While Coco Gauff also lost out to Xinyu Wang in Berlin so perhaps can't be trusted either.
Jessica Pegula is hit and miss as of late so aside from those names, I'd say Mirra Andreeva, Jasmine Paolini and even throwing in Marketa Vondrousova after her Berlin exploits. Basically don't be shocked at another surprise winner.
Favourites:
*** Elena Rybakina
** Mirra Andreeva, Jasmine Paolini
* Aryna Sabalenka, Coco Gauff, Marketa Vondrousova

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
