Wimbledon, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments, has begun in London. Defending champion Jannik Sinner is seeking his fifth Grand Slam title, while women’s top seed Aryna Sabalenka is chasing her first major title of the year.
Top Matches
Sinner will face Miomir Kecmanovic in his opening match, while Sabalenka will take on Teodora Kostovic. Novak Djokovic, who has been trying to capture a 25th major crown, will also be in action, facing Wu Yibing.
Sinner, who skipped the warm-up tournaments ahead of the grasscourt slam, believes that this could work to his benefit. He said, ‘If you play a tournament before here, maybe it’s not going the way you would like to, you come here with some doubts. If you don’t play any tournament, you don’t have these doubts, you just go and play.’
Sabalenka, who has been at the top of the WTA rankings since late 2024, has only won one Grand Slam title in the past 18 months. She has been working with a psychologist to overcome her recent struggles and feels that things are ‘clicking back together’ for her.
