Wimbledon is a major tennis tournament and the third of four annual Grand Slams. The tournament takes place over two weeks in London, England. This year, Wimbledon will officially begin on June 27 and conclude on July 10.
On the men’s bracket, Novak Djokovic will enter the tournament as the heavy favorite, and rightfully so. The No. 1 player in the world has been nothing short of dominant at Wimbledon lately, winning three straight championships. Potential contenders like Carlos Alcaraz and Rafael Nadal are much more comfortable on clay, and eight-time champion Roger Federer is set to miss the tournament after speculation that he might return to action in London.
A pair of young potential sleepers loom in Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime. These two have emerged as household names among tennis fans but remain “sleepers” due to the fact that no player except Djokovic, Federer or Andy Murray has won this tournament since 2010.
Wimbledon is widely considered the most prestigious of the Grand Slams generally garnering more hype than the other three major events. The first tournament was held in 1877 on the lawns of the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club. As of right now, this is Djokovic’s tournament to lose, but anything can happen at Wimbledon.
Wimbledon will run from June 27 to July 10 this year.
