Tennis fans are rejoicing as Wimbledon is about to get underway.
The The All England Lawn Tennis Club will once again host the world's most famous tournament throughout July as viewers will tune in to find out who, if anyone, can stop the march of Novack Djokovic. No one has been able to stop Djokovic in the grand slams this season and the Serbian has now won a record 23 major titles after picking up victories at the Australian Open and French Open this year.
Brits will have eyes on Andy Murray but he'll be up against a stern test from Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz, among a host of other talented players looking to make their mark on grass. It's going to be challenge for anyone to halt Djokovic's charge for five Wimbledon titles in a row, with the Serbian winning the last four, most recently last year where he toppled Australia's Nick Kyrgios in the final.
The women's draw will see Elena Rybakina defending her title after winning her very first grand slam title in last year’s final against Ons Jabeur. However, World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is the top seed and will be a favourite to scoop the title following her excellent run of form and her victory in the French Open.
