Wimbledon 2023 preview
From the picture-perfect aesthetics to the devoted crowds and oft-imitated traditions, there's nothing quite like Wimbledon fortnight. Tennis and grass go together like strawberries and cream, and by a similar note Novak Djokovic and Elena Rybakina might well argue that the Gentlemen's Singles Trophy and Venus Rosewater Dish just look better in their hands.
The likes of Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka would probably see things a little differently, but they'll have to win the thing in order to make their point.
Respective world No.1s Swiatek and Djokovic each tasted glory at Roland-Garros in June, and the Roland Garros-Wimbledon double has only been achieved by a handful of players. The last to do so? Djokovic, who's also being driven by his long-held aim of winning all four majors in a calendar year. This will be his third serious shot at the so-called Grand Slam, and even at the grand old age of 36 it's hard to see who can stop him.
Alcaraz is the only player who can stand up to the Serb on clay and hard courts, but he's looked shaky on grass. Instead it's his relatively unheralded rival Sinner that looks like Djokovic's biggest threat, although Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Andy Murray and Matteo Berrettini love this event too.
Rybakina's victory at SW19 a year ago came as a shock, but her subsequent form has shown that it was no fluke. The towering 23-year-old is right up there with Swiatek and Sabalenka and possesses the biggest weapon of them all, that thunderous serve. Coco Gauff, grass specialist Beatriz Haddad-Maia and the resurgent Karolina Muchova are knocking at the door, and all are viable contenders.
