Wimbledon 2025 is coming very close, and the most prestigious picture of the Grand Slam village is starting to change clearly. While Novak Djokovic is still a monument that cannot be underestimated on the pitch, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are rising as strong as two real “successors”, ready to compete.
Djokovic: Legend is in challenges
At the age of 38, Novak Djokovic still holds a formidable position in Wimbledon – where he has won 7 times. But this year, the journey to conquer the 8th great achievement will not be easy.
Djokovic has not played for weeks to preserve the whole strength, which means that he entered the tournament with unproven state. In addition, the drop on the ATP rankings (currently in addition to the top 5) makes him soon clash with big opponents right from the first knockout round.
The rise of the younger generation is a real challenge. And for the first time in many years, experts evaluate Djokovic's championship at All England Club no longer overwhelming.
Alcaraz – Sinner: brilliant gold race
Carlos Alcaraz, Wimbledon 2023 and 2024 champion, is showing a stable performance back at the right time. The recent Queen's Club championship not only helped him win the third title on the pitch, but also sent a strong warning: Alcaraz was ready to win the Grand Slam in London for the third consecutive year.
No longer a player who only plays well on the soil, Alcaraz is now a comprehensive player, which can explode in all sides of the yard. More importantly, he entered Wimbledon 2025 with absolute confidence, when he defeated Sinner himself in the final of Roland Garros – a brave upstream.
Meanwhile, Jannik Sinner, who is leading the ATP rankings, is still a bright candidate. Despite stopping early in Halle, the Italian player had an excellent season with a series of big titles. With a dangerous serve, accurate and cold gameplay, Sinner can completely surprise if regaining stability and steel spirit like the Australian Open championship earlier this year.
The generation war – who will own Wimbledon?
• Djokovic is a symbol of the Gold era.
• Sinner is the “incumbent” in the world's No. 1 position.
• Alcaraz is the “future champion” or is it now?
Three names representing three different philosophy of playing tennis, gathering at Wimbledon 2025, creating one of the most intense expected seasons in the tournament history.
Will Djokovic make history with the 25th Grand Slam? Or Alcaraz – Sinner will create a new era at the “holy place” of Tennis village?
The answer will be available after a few weeks. But certainly, Wimbledon 2025 will be the tournament that cannot be given their eyes off.
