Draper in contention and women's title up for grabs

June 30, 2025

Lancashire Evening Post

The strawberries are being picked and the Pimm's prepared as Wimbledon gears up for another fortnight of grass-court drama.

Carlos Alcaraz is bidding for a third men's singles title in a row, while defending women's champion Barbora Krejcikova will hope returning to the lawns of SW19 can help her find form.

Here, we pick out five key talking points.

ALCARAZ V SINNER

Who needs the big four? Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner treated tennis fans to a final for the ages at the French Open, with the Spaniard saving three match points before finally getting the better of his rival in a fifth-set tie-break. Sinner is yet to reach a Wimbledon final but the young duo are a level above the rest of the men's game at the moment so it would be no surprise at all if a repeat final is on the cards.

DRAPER'S MOMENT?
