Wimbledon 2024: Swiatek with Rybakina, Gauff with Sabalenka
This time, the participants in the Wimbledon tournament have been decided. With no surprises in store, it's going to be a tough road, and it's going to be the two most resilient players who take to Center Court this Saturday, July 13, to battle it out for the ultimate crown.
In the top half of the draw, Iga Swiatek has inherited a rather affordable field and, although unprepared, she may not be greatly tested until the quarter-finals or even the semi-finals.
The presence of Yulia Putintseva, who won the title in Birmingham, is also worth noting, and she could meet her match in the third round.
At the end of the tournament, Swiatek will theoretically have to face tougher opponents such as Ostapenko, Garcia or Vondrousova, before potentially meeting Rybakina or Pegula in the semi-finals.
In the bottom half of the draw, Coco Gauff also seems to have avoided the worst, although there are some serious outsiders in her section.
After a relatively quiet opening round, she could meet eternal threat Victoria Azarenka in the Round of 16. After that, she should, in theory, beat Keys or Paolini and then Sabalenka, Zheng or Sakkari to reach the final.
This year's Wimbledon promises to be another exciting one, with plenty of surprises in store.
