The most prestigious tennis tournament of the year, Wimbledon, is once again delivering everything fans could want: historic record chases, behind-the-scenes drama, and potential new heroes challenging the reign of the current kings. From June 30 to July 13, all eyes will be on the freshly trimmed grass at the All England Club.
Could the Throne Be Shaken?
The top contender this year is Carlos Alcaraz, currently a two-time Wimbledon champion (2023, 2024), with 24 career wins on grass and just three losses between 2023 and 2025. At 21, Alcaraz could become a three-time champion—by comparison, Federer won his first Wimbledon title at the same age. Another title could mark the dawn of a new era in Spanish tennis history. Though he struggled with a mild ankle injury after Roland Garros, his performance at Queen’s Club has reportedly been solid and reassuring.
Never underestimate the now-legendary Novak Djokovic, holder of seven Wimbledon trophies, 92 career wins, and just 11 losses at the tournament. If he wins, it would not only reinforce his dominance but also mark his 25th Grand Slam title—something no one has achieved before.
And then there is the UK’s new favorite, Jack Draper, who could surprise everyone: he has already won two ATP tournaments this year (Indian Wells, Queen’s Club). His career grass-court record: 17 wins and 5 losses. The last British man to win at home was Andy Murray in 2016. Tensions are high between Draper and the British press after paparazzi captured him on a secretive date the team tried to keep under wraps.
Female Challengers Rise Too
Aryna Sabalenka’s 2025 record so far: 35 wins, 7 losses, and 3 titles. Her best Wimbledon result to date has been reaching the semifinals (2021, 2023). According to her coach, Sabalenka is on a “revenge tour” against Coco Gauff after falling just short in the Roland Garros semifinals.
Coco Gauff, the current Roland Garros champion, boasts 42 wins and 9 losses this year. Her best Wimbledon result so far is a quarterfinal appearance. Some speculate that her focus in Berlin was disrupted by too many sponsor events—her management has since tightened media access ahead of the tournament.
Petra Kvitova, a two-time Wimbledon champion (2011, 2014), has a 51–13 record at the event. As she embarks on her farewell tour, the ATP/VIP lounge is already reserving seats: many stars and former champions are expected to watch her final match on Centre Court.
Tatjana Maria, at 37, reached the final at Queen’s Club—setting a record in the WTA-500 category. Her Cinderella story, which included a Wimbledon semifinal in 2022, remains a fan favorite. Sources say she has received a lucrative book deal for an autobiography that may include juicy behind-the-scenes revelations.
Even the prize money is breaking records: the total purse is £53.5 million, with champions earning £3 million each. The stands will soon be full, each rally echoing with the promise of history. Wimbledon 2025 holds more stories than ever before.
