Defending champion Alcaraz comes into the tournament after dispatching World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in an epic five-set contest at the French Open final. The Spaniard has lost only five out of 47 matches this year. The World No. 2 is known for his speed, movement, powerful volleys and ability to deliver in crunch moments. Having won the 2023 Wimbledon title too, he’s undoubtedly the man to beat.

The Italian, who has maintained his grip on the World No. 1 ranking despite a three-month doping ban, is best positioned to dethrone Alcaraz. Sinner has defeated the Spaniard at Wimbledon before (in the fourth round of the 2022 edition). Known for his precise strokes and consistency, Sinner has pocketed three Grand Slams already. Although he hasn’t featured in a Wimbledon final yet, he could change that statistic this year.
