The 2025 Wimbledon Championships are set to showcase a star-studded women’s singles draw, featuring the entire Top 99 of the PIF WTA Rankings. Leading the entry list are World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and World No. 2 Coco Gauff, both aiming for their maiden Wimbledon titles. Sabalenka, a two-time semifinalist at The Championships, missed last year’s edition due to a shoulder injury. Gauff, who made a sensational debut as a 15-year-old in 2019, has yet to progress beyond the fourth round.
Defending champion Barbora Krejcikova returns to SW19 after a back injury sidelined her for the first five months of the year. She recently made her comeback at the Strasbourg tournament. Other former Wimbledon champions in the draw include 2023 winner Marketa Vondrousova and 2022 champion Elena Rybakina. Notably, none of these past champions are currently ranked within the world’s Top 10.
Iga Swiatek, a four-time French Open champion, is also among the top contenders. Despite her dominance on clay, Swiatek has yet to reach a Wimbledon final, making this year’s tournament an opportunity to assert her prowess on grass.
The field is further enriched by Grand Slam champions such as Madison Keys, Jelena Ostapenko, Sofia Kenin, Emma Raducanu, Naomi Osaka, and Victoria Azarenka. Additionally, former Wimbledon finalists Jasmine Paolini and Ons Jabeur will be seeking to capture their first major titles.
With such a competitive lineup, the 2025 Wimbledon Championships promise thrilling matches and potential breakthroughs as players vie for the prestigious title on the grass courts of SW19.
