Carlos Alcaraz returns to Wimbledon chasing a third straight title in a historic edition with £53.5 million in prize money.
Carlos Alcaraz is back on the grass at Wimbledon, and all eyes are on him. The 22-year-old Spaniard, already a two-time champion at SW19, returns as the top contender to make it a hat-trick of titles—a feat that would further cement his dominance on all surfaces.
Fresh off a second consecutive Roland-Garros win, Alcaraz enters the tournament in peak form. His explosive game, fearless mindset and adaptability on grass make him the man to beat. But the road to the trophy is far from easy, with Novak Djokovic hunting a record 25th Grand Slam title, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner seeking his first major on grass, and British No. 1 Jack Draper coming off the best season of his career.
On the women’s side, defending champion Barbora Krejcikova will face fierce competition from Coco Gauff, Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka and Emma Raducanu, who returns to Wimbledon ranked inside the top 50 and once again leads the British hopes.
