Wimbledon 2025 preview, full schedule, and how to watch Alcaraz, Gauff and more live

Can anyone stop reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz, king of grass?

He may not be the top-ranked player in the world, but Alcaraz is undoubtedly the most in-form tennis player on tour. The Spaniard’s mythical Roland-Garros final comeback against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner was a reminder of his greatness at just 22 years old.

Alcaraz comes into Wimbledon having won four of the last five tournaments he has contested, including victory at his grass-season opener at Queen’s. A third consecutive title would make the Olympic silver medallist Spain’s outright most decorated Wimbledon singles player, ahead of two-time winner Rafael Nadal.

An Alcaraz triumph could see him become world No. 1 for the first time in almost two years, but he will have to dethrone Sinner and his year-long reign at the top.

The 23-year-old is aiming for his first grass major final at Wimbledon, while he has his sights set on a second Slam of the season after claiming the Australian Open at the start of 2025.

It would be remiss not to consider seven-time champion Novak Djokovic as a leading contender, the Olympic champion now purely focused on the majors – and LA 2028. Can his immense experience on grass propel him to a record-breaking 25th Grand Slam title and an eighth Wimbledon crown to tie with Roger Federer?

Meanwhile, Britain’s home hopes will rest on the shoulders of Jack Draper, who is the nation’s highest seed in the men’s singles draw for eight years.
