Wimbledon 2026: Sinner Defends Crown As Serena Williams Headlines Star-studded Return
All England Lawn Tennis Club: The grass-court season reaches its grandest stage as Wimbledon 2026 begins at the All England Club on Monday, bringing together established champions, rising stars and a handful of returning legends for what promises to be a fascinating fortnight in London.
Jannik Sinner enters the tournament carrying the pressure of being both world No. 1 and defending champion. The Italian captured his first Wimbledon crown last year by defeating Carlos Alcaraz in the final and now has a significant opportunity to strengthen his hold on the top of the men’s game after Alcaraz withdrew because of a wrist injury. Sinner arrives seeking a fifth Grand Slam title and a successful title defence after a disappointing early exit at the French Open.
The men’s draw, however, is far from straightforward. Alexander Zverev comes in with confidence after lifting the French Open trophy, while Novak Djokovic returns to SW19 chasing another slice of history.
