The Wimbledon women’s singles draw has been revealed, with Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff in line to meet in a blockbuster quarter-final. Gauff and Swiatek have not met since the Madrid Open semi-finals in May, when the American dropped just two games to reach the final, and win a third straight match against the Pole. Now, the two could be in line for a first Grand Slam meeting since the 2024 French Open, with second seed Gauff and eighth seed Swiatek in the same quarter at SW19.

Aryna Sabalenka has been backed as a “great personality” by former Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli in the aftermath of the world No 1’s French Open controversy. Following her defeat to Coco Gauff in the Roland Garros final three weeks ago, Sabalenka came under fire due to comments she made regarding the match. The world No 1 claimed that her unforced errors had been key to Gauff’s victory, and that Iga Swiatek would have probably won the final had the Pole beaten Sabalenka in the last four.

Jannik Sinner has been told this is the “ideal moment” to bounce back from his French Open heartbreak by former world No 3 Ivan Ljubicic. Sinner was handed a potentially devastating blow in the French Open final earlier this month, spurning a two-set lead and three championship points in defeat to Carlos Alcaraz. It was the Italian’s first loss in a major final and his first time playing in the final at Roland Garros, missing the chance to win a first Slam outside of hard courts.
