On the women’s side, Coco Gauff enters Wimbledon as a newly crowned Roland-Garros champion - and a two-time Grand Slam® winner.
-
At only 21, the Rolex Testimonee continues to evolve into a more complete player, with improved serve placement, tactical poise and the foot speed required to excel on grass.
Having made her breakthrough at Wimbledon as a teenager, Gauff now returns as one of the tournament's leading contenders.
Besides her, a few other female Rolex Testimonees are poised to make their presence felt too.
Iga Swiatek arrives at SW19 seeking a major breakthrough on grass. The four-time Roland-Garros champion has made notable strides on the surface, with a growing comfort level in faster conditions.
Hoping to outdo her best performance of the quarter finals in 2023, Swiatek will undoubtedly rely on her trademark consistency to challenge the limits.
Zheng Qinwen continues her steady ascent on the WTA Tour. With a powerful baseline game and growing experience at the majors, the 22-year-old Chinese star is quickly becoming one of the most formidable players on the circuit.
The Olympic gold medallist’s physicality and willingness to take initiative make her especially potent on faster courts.
