Wimbledon 2022 djokovic

Novak Djokovic is back to defend his Wimbledon title, and Serena Williams is back, period. It's time for the world's best players — most of them, anyway — to gather at the All England Club and contest the year's third Grand Slam.

While Williams figures to draw the lion's share of early attention, she won't be favored to add another title. Those honors go to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, who enters Wimbledon on a 35-match winning streak after rolling to the French Open title in early June. She will be making just her third main-draw appearance at the event and will be looking to improve upon last year's fourth-round exit.
