The third Grand Slam of the year is finally here! The Wimbledon Championships are all set to take place at The All England Lawn Tennis Club from June 29. It is the oldest of the four Slams, dating back to the halcyon days of 1877. It is also considered one of the most prestigious tournaments in history, and thus, almost all the winners become part of tennis folklore.

Last year, Jannik Sinner defeated Carlos Alcaraz to win his maiden Wimbledon title on the ATP side. Although his Spanish rival is sidelined due to a wrist injury, Sinner will be fueled to defend his title and dispel doubts regarding his endurance. On the other hand, Iga Swiatek got the better of Amanda Anisimova 6-0, 6-0 in what was one of the most one-sided finals in the tournament’s history. The two will be aiming for another strong run in the tournament this year.
