Wimbledon is back as Novak Djokovic targets a 25th major singles trophy andAndy Murray attempts to play the Grand Slam event for likely the final time.
There were question marks over whether Djokovic would feature after a recent meniscus injury forced knee surgery but he hinted he would play on Tuesday after admitting he was ‘very pleased’ with his progress and the Serbian is now due to practise on Centre Court with Jannik Sinner in the latest indication he will enter.
Murray’s participation is even more up in the air and he provided a huge update on Thursday, insisting that no final decision had been made after he required an operation on a spinal cyst in his back following a nasty injury at Queen’s Club. The veteran is nearing retirement and wants to play Wimbledon for the last time ever.
Carlos Alcaraz returns to defend his crown and attempt to land a Channel Slam after his triumph in Paris while Jannik Sinner is among the favourites too and British No.1 Jack Draper is targeting a deep run after his Queen’s Club heroics.
But there’s way more than just the men’s singles – with British eyes on Emma Raducanu and Katie Boulter in the women’s singles – which is wide open given dominant world No.1 Iga Swiatek has historically struggled on grass courts.
Elsewhere, the Murray brothers hoping to team up in the men’s doubles and there could be some interesting pairs in the mixed doubles with British No.1 Boulter dating fellow tennis star Alex de Minaur – world No.9 in the ATP rankings.
Excited for all of the action? Ready to watch some gripping tennis? Well, settle in, as there are two weeks of play coming up… Here is everything you could possibly need to know about Wimbledon 2024.
