Wimbledon 2025 live stream: preview
When it comes to the men’s singles draw, it is clear who is the man to beat. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz arrives at Wimbledon having won four of the last five tournaments he has contested, including the French Open and Queen’s.
The Spaniard could become the world No. 1 if he wins a third consecutive Wimbledon title but will face fierce competition, not least from the man he hopes to dethrone, Jannik Sinner. Novak Djokovic is another contender as he bids to tie Roger Federer and win an eighth title at SW19, while home hopes rest on the world No. 4 Jack Draper, Britain’s highest seed for eight years.
On the women’s side, Barbora Krejcikova is bidding to become the first player to defend her women’s singles title in nine years. However, the Czech ace has been hampered by injuries all season and has struggled to string together a run of wins in 2025.
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka has never made it past the semi-finals and is desperate to avenge her two final defeats this year. Madison Keys overcame the Belarusian in Australia, while Coco Gauff triumphed over the top seed at the French Open and has fond memories of Wimbledon, as it was the scene of her breakout in 2019.
Olympic champion Jasmine Paolini reached the final last year and is always a threat on grass, while 2023 champion Marketa Vondrousova comes off the back of the Berlin WTA 500 title. Emma Raducanu will also be dreaming of winning a second major title and will receive plenty of support from her home crowd.
