Favorites, outsiders, fitness: here is everything you need to know about the fortnight of the British Grand Slam!
No more clay, make way for grass! The legendary London Grand Slam returns from July 3 to July 14. Who will succeed Vondroušová and Alcaraz? Are the French going to have a turn? Is white really that messy? Everything, everything, everything you will know everything about the tournament.
Favorites
Carlos Alcaraz @2.75 – While Rafa Nadal has decided not to play the season on grass to prepare for the Olympic Games, his future doubles partner in Paris will inevitably be one of the favorites for the final victory, with a title to defend on Center Court. Carlos Alcaraz is indeed the favorite of this edition even if he has just returned to world number 3, having lost the benefit of his points linked to his title at Queen’s in 2023. The double seems entirely possible for the young Spanish prodigy .
Jannik Sinner @6 – World number one and very recent winner of the Halle tournament, the Italian is in top form. And he clearly announces the color: “last year, I played good tennis there and now I am going to present myself with even more confidence”. On its favorite surface, it will therefore be necessary to hit hard to take “testa rossa” out of the competition.
Novak Djokovic @4,50 – Miraculous or suspicious, it’s up to you. What is certain is that Novak “Iron Man” Djokovic seems almost ready for the tournament, a few weeks after his meniscus fracture in Paris. Few guarantees on his physical condition, but when you know the resilience of the Serbian player, anything is possible. One thing is certain, he is giving himself all the means possible to try to equal the eight titles of another legend, Roger Federer.
Bet on the winner of the tournament
Les outsiders
Alexander Zverev @15 – Beaten at the gates of the final by Hubert Hurkacz in Halle. Defeated by Alcaraz in the final of the Paris Major. Beaten by his best friend at Mario Kart last week. So the wheel is turning for Zverev.
Hubert Hurkacz @17 – Unhappy finalist in Halle, the Pole is gaining momentum despite everything. 7th in the world before the competition, one of the best servers on the circuit intends to grab a few more places in the ATP rankings by having a great tournament. His very good shape will allow him to go far, for sure.
Bet on the player who will reach the final
La favorite
Iga Swiatek @4.50 – Seed n°1, the Pole looks like a scarecrow when attacking this major in London. The three-time winner of the Paris major still has a lot to prove on grass but she felt progress in Bad Homburg (Germany) this week, despite her withdrawal from the semi-final. “I feel like this is the first year that I can really focus on training (specifically on grass) and really progress,” she confided on Saturday, assuring that she wanted to become a player capable of winning. on all surfaces. We trust him for that.
Bet on Swiatek to win the tournament
Les outsiders
Aryna Sabalenka @4,25 – Deprived of the English tournament last season after the exclusion of Russian and Belarusian players due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Aryna is back. She will also have to forget her very bad match in the semi-finals of the Parisian Grand Slam against Karolina Muchova. “I was really disappointed by this defeat. But, afterwards, we talked about it with my team and it’s a good lesson for me,” she assured. Then maybe ?
Elena Rybakina @5.50 – Many questions arise around the Belarusian’s fitness. After dropping out in Paris, she did not show up at Eastbourne last week due to a viral infection. The road will therefore be long to keep his crown.
