In an interview shared by Tennis Up To Date, nine-time Wimbledon champion Martina Navratilova named her favorite for the 2025 edition of the English Grand Slam. According to her, Sabalenka has all the qualities needed to be the frontrunner for a title in London:
"Given her track record, it's hard to think she isn't the favorite this year. She's a complete player with a strong grass-court game. It's difficult to find a weakness or an opening against her. I wonder if losing the Roland-Garros final might actually motivate her further. I think she’s in a good place."
