With Wimbledon exactly a week away, tennis fans the world over can start getting excited about the next big event on the calendar.

And, for many, it is the pinnacle of the sport; a tournament steeped in tradition that every young player dreams of winning.

With that in mind, it’s worth wondering who might be the most likely to take the title on both the men’s and women’s sides, with the former far more straightforward than the latter.

Carlos Alcaraz seems unstoppable at the moment, and thus will be a heavy favourite to win Wimbledon for a third straight year.

However, things are far less secure on the WTA, leaving a potential vacuum for someone to fill.

Amanda Anisimova could be an American dark horse at Wimbledon

And, after reaching the final at Queen’s, Amanda Anisimova is a good bet to enjoy a deep run at the All-England Club.

Her powerful play style translates well to the grass, as her impressive recent form will support. And, she does have a history of enjoying deep runs at Grand Slams.

Currently at a career-best ranking of 13th, the former French Open semi-finalist, who also reached the Wimbledon quarter-finals in 2022, should feel full of confidence that she can repeat that feat again.

Just 23 years old, this marks a huge opportunity for Anisimova to potentially take advantage of this uncertainty to go deep, or even win the title.

After all, with clean, heavy groundstrokes and a nasty return of serve, the main components to thrive on grass are present.

Daniil Medvedev makes first final in 15 months at Halle Open

Meanwhile, on the men’s side, another finalist from last week in Daniil Medvedev could maintain his resurgence with another deep run at Wimbledon.

A semi-finalist last year, the Russian has lots of points to defend this year.

However, since then, time has not been kind to the 29-year-old, with early defeats becoming sadly commonplace for the 2021 US Open champion.

Sunday marked his first final in 15 months, and only since then has he returned to the top ten after a brief spell outside of it. Alexander Bublik beat Medvedev in the Halle Open final in a well-natured affair.

With a monster serve, Medvedev should be able to thrive at Wimbledon, with a recent semi-final win over Alexander Zverev sure to boost his confidence.

Hopefully, he can at least match last year’s performance to avoid another dramatic hit to his ranking.

Marketa Vondrousova wins first title since Wimbledon 2023

Another potential dark horse to make a run for the Wimbledon title is actually a former winner, with Marketa Vondrousova re-establishing herself on the tour after a torrid few years.

Shocking the world as she won the event back in 2023, since then the Czech has been ravaged by injuries, mainly to her shoulder which she was forced to get surgery on.

However, in Berlin last week, the 25-year-old reached her first final since that Wimbledon win over Ons Jabeur, and subsequently won her first title since then too.

Having faded into obscurity in the years since her mesmeric run, Vondrousova has put herself back on the map a week before the tournament commences once again.
