Williams and her older sister, Venus, will also compete in women’s doubles. That event begins Thursday, July 2.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tTennis legend Rafael Nadal reveals whether he is considering a competitive return to the sport like Serena Williams in an interview with CNBC Sport\u2019s Alex Sherman.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n

Who is expected to win Wimbledon?<\/p>\n

The tournament is wide open on both sides, though repeat champions from 2025, Jannik Sinner and Iga \u015awi\u0105tek, remain very much in play. <\/p>\n

On the men\u2019s side, Alexander Zverev arrives in London guns blazing after capturing his first Grand Slam title<\/a> at the French Open just weeks ago. Sinner is also coming off recent health setbacks,<\/a> adding another layer of unpredictability to the draw. And with last year\u2019s runner\u2011up, Carlos Alcaraz,<\/a> out of the field, the path to the final looks more volatile than usual. <\/p>\n

On the women\u2019s side, Swiatek’s path looks strong on paper but with grass, nothing is guaranteed. The surface routinely produces unpredictable results because players get so little match time on it and injuries are more common. <\/p>\n

Mirra Andreeva is also back in action after the 19\u2011year\u2011old captured her first Grand Slam title<\/a> at the French Open, putting her firmly in the conversation for this year’s event.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tennis action is returning to the prestigious grass courts of Wimbledon.
