Men
The first quarter of the tournament grid
The first racket of the world Jannik Sinner approaches Wimbledon in the status of one of the main favorites. The Italian spends the best season in his career: he won the Australian Open Championship, and became the finalist Rolan Harros and soil Master in Rome.
He will start his speech on Wimbledon with a match against the countryman Luke Nardy. Sinner is expected to come to the fourth circle without much difficulty, where Tommy Paul or Grigor Dimitrov will become his rival. Although the American is capable of creating problems, Sinner has to cope and get into the quarterfinals.
In the second half of this quarter-the 10th sown Ben Schelton, the 18th-the Umbber, the first racket of Ukraine Gael Montis (in the first round will play with Umber), as well as the semi-finalist Laurentzo Muzetti last year, which now shows a good shape. It is also not necessary to discount Rileli Opelka and Brandon Nakashim – both can “shoot” on the grass if they are in good form.
The museum is likely to reach the fourth circle, where it can be either Shelton or Umbber. Despite the level of both, the Italian looks like a favorite and should reach the quarterfinals.
There is probably a Yannnik Sinner. Given the current form of the first racket of the world, it must win and go to the semifinals.
The second quarter of the tournament grid
The sixth sown Novak Dzhokovich got to the second quarter and will try to win the eighth title of Wimbledon to match the record of Roger Feder. Given the problems with the physical form, it is likely that it may be his last speech at the British Major, although the tennis player himself said he planned to play in OI-2028.
In the early stages of the Serb, matches against Christopher Yubenx and the 30th of the 30th of the sown Alex Micelsen are expected. However, it is projected to reach the fourth circle without much difficulty. There, his potential rivals are the 21st sown Tomasz Mahach and the 11th-Alex de Minaur. Both are difficult opponents, but Dzokovich is likely to handle and get to the quarterfinals.
The second part of this quarter is the fourth sown Jack Draper, who will have to cope with serious expectations from both himself and fans. Already in the second round, he can get the finalist of Wimbledon 2017 Marin Chilek. It will be a serious test, but the dripper should have a good chance of winning.
In the third circle, it is likely that the 28th sown Alexander Bublik-the champion of the recent tournament in Halle. This match can be one of the brightest in the third circle, and the British’s chances of victory look a little higher.
If the dripper gets the fourth circle, it is likely that the 15th Yakub Menshik or 22th-Flavio Koboli. The minority can create difficulties, but supporting the public can help the British break into the quarterfinals.
If in the quarterfinals, Draper meets Jokovich, he will certainly have a benefit in the form of support for the audience. However, if the Serb is in good physical shape, his experience and mental stability, they will probably allow him to reach the semifinals.
The third quarter of the tournament grid
This quarter gathered such strong players as Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Matteo Berrettini, as well as “neutral” Danil Medvedev and Karen Khachanov.
Fritz demonstrates excellent results on the grass this season: he won herbal tournaments one by one in Stuttgart and Eastborne. At the start of Wimbledon, his rival can be Alekhandro Davido-Fokin, but the American has confidently won him in Istborne and has without much problems to reach the fourth circle.
It will be his probable rival ninth sowed Danil Medvedev, although Alexey Popyrin should not be excluded. Neutral reached the semifinals on the grass in the last two Vimbledon draws, but this year it is very far from the optimal shape. So Fritz’s chances of reaching the quarterfinal are quite high.
In the second part of this quarter, competition will be even tougher: Alexander Zverev, Francisco Cherundolo, Matteo Berretin and Karen Khachanov – everyone is able to reach the fourth circle. Zverev and Berrettini can meet in the third round, and the victory of the Italian will not be a surprise, given his ability to play on the grass – even though he did not play a single match after the Roman Master.
In the fourth circle, Berrettini is likely to meet Khachanov, although it is possible that Cherundolo will get there. The Italian already had impressive performances on the grass and may well get to the quarterfinals.
Fritz looks a clear favorite in a potential quarterfinals against Berretin, but the Italian may surprise the Italian in good shape.
The fourth quarter of the tournament grid
The current champion and the second world of the world Carlos Alkaras is in this part of the grid and is a clear favorite to win in the current draw of the tournament after his triumph on Rolan Garros. He also approaches Wimbledon with the title of winner of the recent herbal tournament at Queen’s Club.
In the early stages of the potential rival of Alaras can be Felix in the Alyasim, but the Spaniard must confidently reach the fourth circle where He is likely to wait for Rublev. “Neutral” this season does not show a prominent form, but is able to reach the stage 1/8 of the finals. However, he will have to show “space” tennis to win Alaras, so there is simply no chance of neutral.
In the other part of this quarter – Holger Rune, Rusty Leechka, Francis Tiafo and Joau Fonseca. Most likely, the struggle for the quarterfinal will unfold between the light and Rune, but it is not necessary to discount from the accounts of the ambitious 18-year-old Brazilian.
The Czech has once reached the fourth circle of Wimbledon and demonstrates good results on the grass. His style of playing on this coating can create serious problems to any opponent.
Alaras has already played a light in the grass tournament in London this year and has to be won again from their potential confrontation.
Projected quarter -finals

Jannik Sinner [1] – Lorenzo Museum [7]
Jack Draper [4] – 
Novak Dzhokovich [6]
The lower part of the grid
Taylor Fritz [5] – Matteo Berrettini [32]
Rusty lung [23] –

Women
The first quarter of the tournament grid
The first racket of the world Arina Sobolenko and the Australian Open Madison goat is two main sown in this quarter. There are also strong tennis players such as Paul Bados, a two -time semi -finalist Elina Svitolina, the semi -finalist of Last year Donna Vokich and the 2023 champion of Vndroushov.
This part of the grid also has a British accent – it will play Emma Raducanu and Katie Bulter. Bulter’s match against badges will undoubtedly be one of the most interesting matches of the first circle.
The number one will start Wimbledon with a slight meeting against Carson Branstin. With all respect for Radukkan, only Vndroushov, who recently won in Berlin, can prevent the screaming first sown to reach the fourth round.
Probably, in the fourth circle, Sobolenko’s rival will be the first racket of Ukraine Elina Svitolina – a fairly strong opponent on the grass. “Neutralka” won five of six eye matches against Ukrainian, and maybe it’s time to change something dramatically in this confrontation.
Madison goats spent the impressive season and will come to Wimbledon with high expectations. Despite the presence of rivals such as Zhang Shuai and Olga Danilovich, the American should reach the fourth circle – it was at this stage that she had to take off last year due to injury.
If the goats come out in the 1/8 finals, its rival, will probably be ninth sown Paul Bados. At the height of the Spanish form is a difficult rival, but a powerful goat game and its good moving in the court should allow it to go further and go to the quarterfinals.
We hope that Elina Svitolina will be waiting for it.
The second quarter of the tournament grid
This quarter is of great interest, because there were quite strong tennis players who are able to break into the quarterfinals. Last year, Jasmine Paolini and the 13th Siyana Amanda Anisimova can meet in the fourth circle of Wimbledon. But do not forget about such female athletes as Linda Noskova and Beatrice Haddad Maya.
The potential match between Anisimova and Paolini promises to be exciting, and if Jasmine is at the peak of the form, it has a good chance to get the winner and get up to the top eight.
On the other hand, this quarter is the fifth zangi Zngven, the 12th is Diana Schneider, the 20th-Alona Ostapenko and Onsy Zhaber. Despite the fact that the Tunisian tennis player is far from its best shape, she is able to beat Ostapenko if they meet in the second circle. If the frober manages to pass the “neutral” Schneider and go to the fourth circle, her rival will probably become Zngaven.
The Chinese was not distinguished by a powerful game on the grass, but given its high level, it is able to reach the quarterfinals of Wimbledon. There she is likely to have to play with Palini, and given the more solid experience of playing the grass, Italian has a real chance for the second time in a row to get to the semifinals on this coating.
The third quarter of the tournament grid
The Third Siyana Jessica Pegula heads this quarter, where the seventh Sira Andreev is also located, the tenth – Emma Navarro and last year’s Barbor Kreichikov champion. Czech tennis player has not recently been in the best form because of health problems. Already in the first round, she has a difficult match against Alexander Eali, which in 2025 showed several striking performances and recently reached the finals on the grass in Istborne.
Navarro and Andreeva can meet in the fourth circle, and such a match promises to be interesting. The American showed good results on the grass and recently completed a performance at a tournament in Berlin after a difficult duel with Pegula.
The third racket of the tournament is one of the contenders for the title and, most likely, without much difficulty will reach the fourth circle. Among her possible rivals at this stage is Karolina Mukhov and Yekaterina Alexandrov. Both are difficult opponents on the grass, but thanks to a stable pegula game, she has a good chance of going further and going to the quarterfinals.
Pegula and Navarro have already played a three-sided match in the Bad-Homburg tournament, and there is a chance to see another interesting confrontation between them at the herbal Major. It is worth noting that Jessica has never passed the quarterfinals on Wimbledon, but this year she has every chance of reaching the semifinals, because on the eve of the British Major, she won the tournament in Bad-Gurgh.
The fourth quarter of the tournament grid
In this quarter, bright names are collected-the ex-first racket of the world Swenttek, Champion Rolan Harros 2025 Coco Goff and Wimbledon winner 2022 Elena Rybakin. Goff spent a striking soil season, but her performances on the grass began, to put it mildly, unsuccessfully – she lost in the first match in Berlin.
The 21-year-old American has never reached the quarterfinals on Wimbledon, but this year she has a good chance of achieving this result. In the first round, she will have to play with Ukrainian Diana Yastremskaya, and then-“neutral” Azarenko and the 28th sophia Kenin, but in a confident game she is able to go to them and get to the fourth circle.
There, Hoff, most likely, will meet with the 16th seeded Daria Kasatkina or 19th-Ludmila Samsonova. Both are dangerous rivals on the grass, especially Samsonov. However, if COCO is able to control its aggression and quickly adapts to the grass, it has a real chance to get into the quarterfinals.
On the other side of this quarter, most likely, in the fourth round, Iga Swontek and Elena Rybakin will meet. On Rolan Harros, they have already spent a three -sided duel, where the Kazakh tennis player lost a chance to win, winning the first set. It is also not necessary to write off the bright representatives of the 2002 generation-Martha Kostyuk and Claru Tauson.
Rybakina’s paper looks more confident on the grass than Swontek, and has a good chance of winning the Pole. It is expected that in the quarterfinals she will meet with Koff, and given her advantage on this cover, Kazakhstan’s representative has every chance of getting out of this confrontation with this confrontation .
Projected quarter -finals
The upper part of the grid
Elina Svitolina [14] – Madison goats [6]
Jasmine Paolini [4] – 
Cinven [5]
The lower part of the seat
Emma Navarro [10] – Jessica Pegula [3]
Elena Rybakina [11] – Coco Goff [2]
Ukraine (single digit)
Elina Svitolina will play in the first round against Anna Bondar (Hungary, WTA 75). Before that, the tennis player met a month ago on Rolan Harros, and Elina won the victorious result – 7: 6 (7: 4), 7: 5. If the first racket of Ukraine is able to overcome the Bondar, then in the second circle the winner of the confrontation between Varvara Grachov – Alexander Sasnovich awaits her.
Martha Kostyuk will meet with Veronica Erevats at the start of Major (Slovenia, WTA 171). It will be their first meeting, and a 23-year-old Ukrainian should easily go through Slovenko, for which it will be only the fifth official match on a grass cover in a career. Further, Martha awaits either Camila Osorio or Daniel Collins.
Diana Yastremskaya in the 1/64 finals will come to the court against the second sown Coco Goff (USA, WTA 2). Hoff is considered a undisputed favorite of the match, but on the grass it plays far from confident as on soil or hard. In addition, Diana even hanged Coco in Madrid this season in one bag. With the right mental mood and reliable game without excessive risk, the Ukrainian woman has a chance of sensation. In the 1/32 finals, Daiana is possible either Victoria Azarenko or Anastasia Zakharova.
Yulia Starodubtseva will play with Francesca Jones in the starting round (UK, WTA 125). The Ukrainians are completely up to the British and their chances for the second round can be estimated as 50 to 50.
Ukraine (paired discharge)
Lyudmila Kichenok together with Ellen Perene (Australia) received the seventh sowing room and in the first round will fight against the Chinese duo Suy Ifan / Jan Zhaosan. Lyudmila and Ellen played four paired duels in the Bad-Homburg, where they reached the finals, and have already learned to understand each other on the grass court. The Ukrainian-Australian tandem can certainly count on a successful performance and the passage of several rounds at the London Major.
Nadiya Kichenok and Yulia Starodubtsev in the 1/32 finals will come to the court against the Ekaterina Alexandrov and Zhang Shui. Neutral and Chinese are sown at 15. For hope and Julia, this will be the first experience of playing a common duet.
Martha Kostyuk and Elena-Gabriel Rusa (Romania) in the first circle will meet with Anastasia Sevastova (Latvia) and Yanina Wikmayer (Belgium). For Martha and Gabriel, this will be the third consecutive speech at the Wimbledon tournament, while their rivals are missing. Here, Tandem Kostyuk / Ruse is considered a clear favorite.
Diana Yastremskaya and her partner Bibian Sokhfs from the Netherlands at the start of Major will play against the sixteen seeded caroline Doulhaid and Sophia Kenin, who appear in the United States. Yastremskaya and Sophs will play for the first time in a couple, and the favorite in this confrontation is more experienced Americans.
