Wimbledon 2025, the third Grand Slam of the tennis calendar, is set to begin today at the All England Club in London and will conclude with the men’s singles final on July 13. Fresh off his maiden French Open triumph, two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will be looking to defend his title against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and record 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic. Meanwhile, Alcaraz has said that the idea of completing a hat-trick of this prestigious Grand Slam is not on his mind, and he just wants to lift the trophy on grassy surfaces where “the most beautiful tennis” is played. Alcaraz will kickstart his Wimbledon campaign against 38-year-old Fabio Fognini in round one today. The stars are aligned for Alcaraz, as far as past form is concerned. Not only has he won the tournament back-to-back, but is also on a career-best 18-match win streak, with title wins coming in during the Italian Open, French Open and most recently, the Queens Club Championships. A massive milestone is up for grabs for this legend in the making. If he completes a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles, he will join legendary Bjorn Borg as the only men in the Open Era to complete a double of French Open-Wimbledon in consecutive years. Bjorg set a record that several legends have attempted to emulate, but failed. Between 1978 and 1980, he captured the French Open and Wimbledon titles in a calendar year three times in a row. Four Indian tennis players will be in action in this year’s Wimbledon, all in the men’s doubles. Veteran Rohan Bopanna will partner Sander Gillé of Belgium, while Yuki Bhambhri has teamed up with the USA’s Robert Galloway, with the Indo-American duo seeded 16th. Rithwik Bollipalli will play alongside Romania’s Nicolás Barrientos, and N. Sriram Balaji has paired up with Mexico’s Miguel Reyes-Varela.
