Players to Watch Out for in Wimbledon 2022:
Serena Williams:
The 40-year-old Serena Williams has won a whopping 23 Grand Slam singles titles over the course of her career and is set to make her return to the circuit following a 1-year gap due to an injury sustained in the last edition of the championship.
Iga Swiatek:
Iga Swiatek is the current women’s world number one and the most in-form player from the women’s side. The 21-year-old Pole won her 2nd Grand Slam title last month at Roland-Garros and has her eyes set on the Wimbledon trophy next.
Matteo Berrettini
Despite injury troubles, Berrettini has enjoyed a terrific record recently. He has won 2 successive titles this month, namely the the Stuttgart Open and the Queens Club Championship. Fondly named “the Hammer,” the Italian’s powerful forehand could be a threat to his opponents.
Rafael Nadal:
Just one title behind Serena Williams, Nadal has 22 Grand Slam titles to his name after last month’s amazing Roland-Garros victory. With the French Open win in his pocket, the Spaniard will be entered as the no.2 seed in men’s side of the bracket, behind Djokovic.
Novak Djokovic:
With 20 Grand Slam titles to his credit, Djokovic will be a force to reckon with on the court as he battles it out for his 4th Wimbledon singles title in a row (7th in total). He’ll be the no.1 seed in men’s singles and is undoubtedly the best on the grass in current standings.
