Alcaraz beat Novak Djokovic in the final in both 2023 and 2024 to emerge victorious at the All England Club. He's bidding to become the first player since the Serb himself to capture three titles on the trot. He's one of the top picks to win the title, along with Jannik Sinner, Jack Draper, and Djokovic.

Krejcikova, meanwhile, will aim to become the first woman to win back-to-back Wimbledon titles since Serena Williams successfully defended her crown in 2016. However, the Czech is far from the top favorite to win the title this time.

Barbora Krejcikova's chances of a successful title defense at Wimbledon seem slim

Barbora Krejcikova secured her second Major title in singles at last year's Wimbledon. However, not many are expecting her to mount a successful title defense this year. Following a semifinal finish at the WTA Finals 2024, she was on an injury hiatus until last month.

Krejcikova returned to action at the Internationaux de Strasbourg in May, and lost in the first round of singles and doubles. While she managed to reach the second round of the French Open, she commenced her grass season with a first-round exit from the HSBC Championships. She will have another crack at scoring her first win on grass at the Eastbourne Open.

World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, the runner-up at both Majors this year, is among the favorites to go all the way in London. Madison Keys and Coco Gauff, who beat the Belarusian to win the Australian Open and the French Open respectively, are also in the running.

Former Wimbledon champions Elena Rybakina and Marketa Vondrousova are among the other potential contenders. Last year's finalist Jasmine Paolini will aim to finish the job this time, while some of the other top players will aim to make an impact as well.

He is particularly proud of one article that garnered an impressive 750k views and surpassed his "wildest dreams." Rohit is not particularly fond of (GOAT) debates and it is one of the reasons why he left the legal world behind. He prefers to view players in "tiers," where they're all esteemed to an extent. However, if pressed to name favorites, he would choose Serena and Venus Williams. The Williams sisters' journey from humble beginnings to the pinnacle of tennis has been his greatest source of inspiration.

When he isn't busy making spot-on predictions about match outcomes, Rohit likes reading, particularly fantasy, sci-fi, and comics.
