AFP Sport looks at three talking points ahead of the tournament which starts at the All England Club on Monday.
: Carlos Alcaraz will defend his Wimbledon men's title from Monday with his main rival likely to be world number one Jannik Sinner rather than Novak Djokovic.
“I really will only play if I know I am in a state which is good enough to go far in the tournament and fight for the title, so that’s the condition,“ Djokovic told reporters after a training session in London this week, his right knee still heavily-strapped. Sinner, a year younger than Alcaraz at 22, is the first Italian to be world number one and showed no sign of any burden from his lofty status when he claimed a maiden grass-court title in Halle last weekend.“I’m looking forward to Wimbledon,“ said Sinner who was a semi-finalist in 2023, losing to Djokovic in straight sets.
