Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are the clear favorites, but there will be other contenders. But besides these stars, there are other tennis players who are in good shape and can shoot at Wimbledon.
Mirra Andreeva
Russian sensation Mirra Andreeva has taken the tennis world by storm. The 17-year-old reached the semi-finals of the French Open for the first time in his career, impressing fans and experts alike.
Throughout her short career, Andreeva has impressed with her mental toughness. Her strong mentality and belief in winning was demonstrated in her French Open quarter-final victory over Aryna Sabalenka. The Russian came back from a set down and defeated the world number two in a thrilling match. Now, as Wimbledon approaches, Andreeva will look to follow in the footsteps of Maria Sharapova, who won the English TBS at 17.
Ons Gill
Ons Jabeur is having a bad season so far in 2024 by her high standards, but she loves playing at Wimbledon. Jabeur has reached the Wimbledon final twice in a row in 2022 and 2023.
In 2022, Jabeur had an easy draw all the way to the final, which she lost in three sets to Elena Rybakina. But in 2023, on the contrary, the grid was the toughest. In the 1/8 finals, 9th seed Petra Kvitova was defeated, in the quarterfinals there was a rematch with Rybakina, and in the semifinals Arina Sabalenka was defeated. But Jabeur was not enough for the final and lost to Marketa Vondrousheva in straight sets.
Jasmine Paolini
Jasmine Paolini is one of the brightest tennis players this year. The Italian stunned the tennis world by reaching the French Open final. But there, she was unable to oppose the world’s leading racketeer, Ige Swiatek.
Paolini already won the title at this year’s WTA 1000 tournament in Dubai. The Italian’s rapid rise is evident in her rankings: over the past six months, she has risen more than 20 places to become world number seven ahead of Wimbledon. Paolini has shown an incredible improvement in his form and could be a tennis player to watch at Wimbledon 2024.
Daniel Collins
Daniel Collins is set to retire at the end of the season and will look to perform as best as possible in his final Grand Slam tournament. This season marks a true swan song for Collins, who won back-to-back titles in Miami and Charleston before Roland Garros. But then the American failed to succeed in Paris.
Collins has a game that meets the demands of a grass field. She has a strong forehand and uses the entire court well. She has 1 TBS final in her career – Australian Open 2022, lost to Ashleigh Barty. And at Wimbledon, the American can also go far.
