The Defending Champions Return
Last year’s winners, Carlos Alcaraz and Markéta Vondroušová, will be back to defend their titles. Alcaraz, the young Spanish sensation, stunned Novak Djokovic in a thrilling five-set final to claim his first Wimbledon crown. "It was a dream come true," Alcaraz said after his victory. "Wimbledon is the tournament every player wants to win, and I’ll fight to keep my title."
Vondroušová, the unseeded Czech player, made history by becoming the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon in the Open Era. Her fairy-tale run included victories over top seeds, and she’ll be eager to prove it wasn’t a fluke. "I’ve worked harder than ever to prepare for this year," she revealed in a recent interview.
The Big Names to Watch
Wimbledon wouldn’t be the same without its legendary contenders. Here’s a look at the players who could dominate this year’s tournament:

- Aryna Sabalenka – A powerhouse on grass, she’s hungry for her first Wimbledon trophy.
