Wimbledon 2025: Preview & Predictions

Wimbledon 2025 is here and I'm back with another Preview & Predictions article for this upcoming tournament. I had Alcaraz winning the Men's Draw of the French Open earlier this month in my Rolland Garros article (won) and I expect to add more winners to the list here in the biggest slam of them all. There's plenty of talent to watch out for this year and we will get to see an amazing brand of tennis. 

Starting in the Men's Draw, the defending champ, Carlos Alcaraz is the favorite of this year's tournament despite being the #2 seed. I absolutely love his play and he's going to be around the tennis world for a long time yet. At the age of just 22, the Spaniard already has 5 grand slams to his name and the number keeps on rising. He's able to out work his opponents and wear them down over the course of long, five set matches. 

As the #1 seed, Jannik Sinner will be expecting much better this time around. It was a very disappointing loss in the French Open final as the Italian was up two sets to love as well as up 2-1 (5-3) and 0-40 with three match points to win the tournament. He wasn't able to do it. After that, Sinner went on to lose his first match against an opponent ranked outside of the top 20 in 60+ matches. Now, this might cause a bit of worry for the average tennis player. But, Sinner's abilities make him a threat to win any match at any given moment and you can most definitely not count him out. 

Novak Djokovic might only have a couple of Grand Slam appearances left in him. As a matter of fact, this very well might be his final Wimbledon. Having said that, he's going to want to go out with a bang. Just like in France, Novak will have to go up against Sinner if he were to make the Semis. That's going to be a very difficult match for him to do anything with how good the two superstars have gotten. But, never count out the G.O.A.T. of tennis himself. 

For the Women's it's a bit surprising to see Coco Gauff's name ranked a bit lower in the tournament odds. She's the reigning slam champ after winning the French Open earlier in June and has a lot going for her right now. Coco also lost early in her first grass tournament of the year but that shouldn't matter too much. 

Aryna Sabalenka is a name that cannot be skipped when talking about the best tennis players in the Women's game. She's got the ability to out-ball strike anyone on the tour and her strength makes her nearly unbeatable when she's not making any mistakes herself. That's the worry though. When she starts making errors, they come in bunched (like the French Open final.)

Iga Świątek is another name that I must mention. Yes, she fell short to the Belarusian in the Semi's of her favorite tournament. However, she's still one of the best players in the world and she's got the grit and determination to win every single match which helps her get to a whole different level compared to the rest of the pack.

Carlos Alcaraz +120

Madison Keys +2000
Jessica Pegula +2500
Qinwen Zheng +3000
Jasmine Paolini +3000

Although upsets are a huge part of all sports, it's hard to see many of them happening against the top of the top players in the Men's game of tennis these days. I do not expect another lapse from Jannik Sinner this time around and it's always harder to beat the best players in a 5-set match rather than a 3-set match. You must be at the top of your game for that much longer against a stronger opponent. 

Having said that, I am very high on Jannik Sinner coming in. The loss to Bublik will have given him lots of time to regroup and refocus to get ready for this tournament. Although it's been a while since his last win, he's beaten Alcaraz multiple times before and seems to be the only player that can challenge him. If they match up again in the finals (I believe that there's a pretty good chance,) this could be another epic war. 

In the Women's game, I believe that this is one of the most "up in the air" tournaments that we've had in recent years. All of the top players are coming off unexpected defeats on the grass courts already this season and that has given some openings to say like Elena Rybakina, who always plays her best on the grass. 

Expect another very exciting tournament in this year's Wimbledon.
