Everything you need to know about Wimbledon history
The main table of Wimbledon starts on Monday (July 3rd) and Sportish brings you everything you need to know about the historic Open, but also about the double Greek participation with Tsitsipas and Sakkaris on the screen.
The main draw of Wimbledon begins on Monday (July 3rd), in which both Stefanos Tsitsipas and Maria Sakkari will of course take part.
Given the facts, the Greek duo want to go as far as possible and most importantly reach the second week, something only the 24-year-old Greek managed five years ago!
Of course, defeating them alone won’t be easy, since the draw has traps for both already in the first rounds.
The Sportish chronicles everything you need to know about Wimbledon and of course the Greek duo.
The draw of Tsitsipas
Wimbledon receives the Grand Slam where Stefanos Tsitsipas does not show the best performances. His best run was through the fourth round in 2018, while last year he had his second-best through the third round.
He has generally not fared well on grass this year and appeared to be struggling with a right arm injury. At the same time, his draw wasn’t the best possible.
Both Thiem and Murray are not at their best, but they are still two Grand Slam titleholders.
At the same time, there are many athletes on his path who are able to go far in the tournament, while on his own board there are Medvedev, Alkarath, Zverev and Rooney, among others, whom he can compete against if he progresses far enough.
His possible way
- First round – Dominic Thiem
- Second Round – Andy Murray
- Round three – Shelton or Cressey
- Fourth Round – Korda or Nori
- Quarterfinals – Medvedev or Pol
- Semifinals – Alkarath or Rooney or Zverev
The draw of Sakkari
Maria Sakkari will be making her seventh appearance at Wimbledon and is looking to get past the third round where she has stopped three times.
Since grass is not her best surface, she will try with her fighting spirit to reach at least the second week of the tournament.
Of course, her mission alone is not easy as she has many dangerous opponents in almost all rounds. Significantly, she meets Kostiuk in the first game and right after that, logically, she meets opponent Paula Bandosa, who is returning from injury.
From then on she may have avoided Sviontek on her own board but she has many great athletes like Champalenka, Mukhova, Kvitova, Rybakina and Zambe.
The possible way
- First round – Kostiuk
- Second Round – Paula Bandosa
- Third Round – Kish
- Fourth round – Krejcikova or Potapova
- Quarterfinals – Sabalenka or Muhova
- Semifinals – Kvitova or Rybakina or Zambe
Djokovic wants to grow his legend and Alkarath wants to stop him
Let’s take a look at the rest of the tournament. As soon as the name Novak Djokovic appears in the men’s table, the rest are forced to take second place.
Nole holds the title of favorite despite not competing in any grass competition this year. Of course, this is of little importance as he knows what he needs to do to achieve the title.
What else could be true when we’re referring to an athlete who has made 17 Wimbledon appearances and has eight finals and seven wins to his name?
Logically, his big opponent will be Carlos Alcarath. The Spaniard wants to reach the goal and if he succeeds we face a grand final against Novak Djokovic.
Of course there are other tennis players who need attention. First and best is Danil Medvedev, who isn’t the best on grass but is always a force to be reckoned with.
At the same time, we should also include Rune, De Minor, Rude in the list, but also Kyrgios, who can go far if he is good.
Sviontek and the rest of the contenders for the crown
Now it’s the women’s turn, where Iga Sviontek goes down with the title of favourite, although of course there’s the duo Rybakina and Sbalenka who want to stop her.
The two are having a great year this year and want to keep it up. Rybakina won the title last year and will try to defend it with a gun.
His 8.3 aces per game can be a great weapon on the field as long as he keeps his double faults in check.
Sabalenka is also a strong contender, having had an impressive year overall and with patience in her game can go far.
Finally we left Iga Sviontek. The world No. 1 is looking to break the Wimbledon curse after making it to the fourth round.
Grass is also the only surface where her win rate doesn’t exceed 70%!
It distributes a total of 52.3 million
A large amount will be shared by all athletes participating in Wimbledon (03-16/07), with organizers announcing an increase of more than 10%.
Specifically, the athletes share more than 52 million euros, an increase of 11.2% compared to the previous year.
