<\/a>tennis express pro player gearMore women\u2019s singles three-setters than any other major in history<\/p>\n52 of the 127 women\u2019s singles matches went the distance. According to ESPN, that\u2019s an all-time Open Era record for the women at the majors. So, what gives? Is grass the great equalizer for the women? Is the field so deep that easy wins are rarer than ever? Or was 2026 an aberration? Whatever the cause, we loved the drama.<\/p>\n
Serena\u2019s return<\/p>\n
How incredible was it to watch Serena patrol her baseline on Centre Court again? Sure, she wasn\u2019t able to get past Maya Joint in a three-set battle, but just feeling her aura was worth the price of admission. Though her stay didn\u2019t last long at Wimbledon, it was fun to speculate on what might be possible in the lead-up. Did she meet your expectations? Will we see her in New York. So many questions\u2026\u00a0<\/p>\n
Sinner, Winner<\/p>\n
Down two sets to one against Miomir Kecmanovic in round one, sentiment around Jannik Sinner\u2019s Wimbledon title hopes was at an all-time low. By the end of week one, it was pretty obvious that it was going to take a Herculean effort to stop him. Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev threw all their chips in, but couldn\u2019t even manage a set, leaving no doubt who is the game\u2019s most dominant player at the moment.<\/p>\n
39, Fine Wine<\/p>\n
Though Djokovic couldn\u2019t ruffle the feathers of Sinner, how mindblowing was it to watch him become the oldest semifinalist in 52 years at Wimbledon? His energy, his passion, his ability to maintain an elite level as his 40th birthday approaches \u2013 he reached his eighth consecutive Wimbledon semifinal, a new record \u2013 never ceases to amaze.<\/p>\n

How did Linda Noskova go from meltdown to glow-up in such short order? The 21-year-old showed all her frailty and then erased every vestige with a step-up for the ages.<\/p>\n Eala Blazes<\/p>\n By reaching the fourth round and taking out defending champion Iga Swiatek, Filipino trailblazer Alexandra Eala proved that she has a bright future on Wimbledon\u2019s grass. Her first trip to the second week of a major is another magical moment in what seems to be a never-ending supply of storybook triumphs.\u00a0<\/p>\n Coco\u2019s Breakthrough<\/p>\n Coco\u2019s love-hate relationship with the grass turned into a full-blown crush. Big serving and bold strikes allowed Gauff to navigate a quartet of three-set battles as she produced her best Wimbledon performance ever. But this crush ended in heartbreak \u2013 a match point squandered in the semis. The 22-year-old American now officially has unfinished business at SW19.<\/p>\n Zverev Goes Big<\/p>\n What can winning a maiden major title do for one\u2019s psyche? At Wimbledon, Alexander Zverev was living proof that it can embolden a player. He produced his best-ever performance at Wimbledon and has clearly unlocked a higher level in his game. At 29, it feels like he\u2019s hit another level.<\/p>\n Kostyuk Energized<\/p>\n Back-to-back semifinals for Marta Kostyuk show that the Ukrainian is finally starting to deliver the results that she is capable of. It could be just the beginning, and a logical progression would be for her to take the lessons learned from a spring and summer of breakthroughs and continue to push further at the majors.<\/p>\n 10 years, 10 champs<\/p>\n First-time women\u2019s singles winners are the tradition at Wimbledon. After two decades of domination by the Williams sisters, it really is the logical next step, isn\u2019t it? Added bonus? It\u2019s fun and refreshing to see new winners cycle through with regularity. Who\u2019s next?<\/p>\n For the NINTH straight year, we will have a first-time Wimbledon women’s champion:<\/p>\n 2017 \u2013 Garbine Muguruza \u2014 Bastien Fachan (@BastienFachan) July 5, 2026<\/a> Czechs at Wimbledon<\/p>\n Navratilova. Mandlikova. Novotna. Kvitova. Vondrousova. Krejcikova. And now Noskova and Muchova. The Czechs are good on every surface, and they have been for a while, but with three Wimbledon titles in the last four years, and the first all-Czech Slam final this century, we\u2019ll raise a glass of pilsner to grass-court greatness from Czechia.\u00a0<\/p>\n Fery\u2019s Future?<\/p>\n Welcome to the Top 40, Arthur Fery. After one of the most incredible Wimbledon wild card runs in history, we\u2019re curious to see if this comeback kid can continue his momentum on the tour. At No. 36, the Wimbledon semifinalist will have the chance to play all the big events, and could even be seeded at the US Open.<\/p>\n
