The Wimbledon women’s singles has been one of the most open grand slam contests of the past decade.

Since Serena Williams went back-to-back in 2015 and 2016, there have been eight different winners at SW19, and though the American is making a remarkable comeback after four years away, it would be an all-time shock if she won an eighth Wimbledon title 10 years on from her seventh.

Poland’s Iga Swiatek is the defending champ, earning her first grass-court major when ruthlessly beating Amanda Anisimova 6-0 6–0 in the final last year.

Swiatek is the third seed for the 2026 Wimbledon Championships, where world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka and No 7 Coco Gauff are among the star names chasing a first title.

Sabalenka is yet to reach a final at the All England Club with the four-time grand slam champion having lost in the semi-finals three times, while Gauff is yet to progress beyond the fourth round.
