Ideas on the Draw

High Quarter

Seeded gamers: Jannik Sinner (1), Daniil Medvedev (5), Grigor Dimitrov (10), Ben Shelton (14), Nicolas Jarry (19), Adrian Mannarino (22), Tallon Griekspoor (27), Zhizhen Zhang (32)

Probably Quarter-Last: Jannik Sinner vs Grigor Dimitrov

World No. 1 Jannik Sinner is focusing on his second Grand Slam title of 2024 at Wimbledon, bolstered by his latest victory in Halle, his first grass-court title.

Sinner begins his marketing campaign towards Yannick Hanfmann within the first spherical however faces a possible early check within the second spherical towards Matteo Berrettini, the 2021 Wimbledon runner-up and up to date finalist on the BOSS Open in Stuttgart.

Berrettini’s prowess on grass might pose a big problem, however I feel Sinner’s motion and the way the grass performs lately at SW19 places issues in his favour.

After that, his path to the fourth spherical seems to be smoother. Within the fourth spherical, he’s anticipated to come across 14th seed Ben Shelton, although Nicolas Jarry and Denis Shapovalov are potential threats.

Daniil Medvedev, the fifth seed and 2023 Wimbledon semifinalist, is on the alternative aspect of this quarter. Regardless of an early exit at Halle, Medvedev is greater than succesful, however his sport has seemed missing this season, along with his serve damaged too readily.

Medvedev’s match begins towards Aleksandar Kovacevic. He has a simple path to the third spherical, the place he’s projected to face Zhang Zhizhen in a rematch from Halle.

Within the fourth spherical, Medvedev will doubtless face tenth seed Grigor Dimitrov. The Bulgarian’s sturdy performances on grass and stable 2024 season make an upset not too unlikely.

Ought to Sinner and Dimitrov conflict within the final eight, their earlier encounter on the Miami Open suggests the Italian seems to be set to make the semi-finals. Alcaraz is his seeded opponent, and that one is anybody’s guess.

Sinner’s Path to the Title:

Second Quarter

Seeded gamers: Carlos Alcaraz (3), Casper Ruud (8), Tommy Paul (12), Ugo Humber (16), Sebastian Baez (18), Alexander Bublik (23), Frances Tiafoe (29), Mariano Navone (31)

Probably Quarter Last: Carlos Alcaraz (3) vs Tommy Paul (12)

Carlos Alcaraz begins his Wimbledon title defence towards Estonian qualifier Mark Lajal. Regardless of an early exit on the Queen’s Membership Championships, the Spaniard will doubtless rebound strongly at Wimbledon.

The French Open champion has a cushty draw till the fourth spherical when he’ll doubtless face sixteenth seed Ugo Humbert, whose sport is well-suited to grass. 

On the opposite aspect of this quarter lies eighth seed Casper Ruud, who has traditionally struggled on grass. Regardless of his spectacular type in latest months, I’d choose Tommy Paul, top-of-the-line movers on tour, to make the quarter-finals instead of the Norwegian.

A quarterfinal conflict between Paul and Alcaraz might be one of many matches of the match. It’s a enjoyable matchup, particularly if the American brings his Tim Henman-esque techniques to the court docket.

Alcaraz’s Path to the Title:

Third Quarter

Seeded gamers: Alexander Zverev (4), Andrey Rublev (6), Stefanos Tsitsipas (11), Taylor Fritz (13), Sebastian Korda (20), Alejandro Tabilo (24), Lorenzo Musetti (25), Jack Draper (28)

Probably quarter-final: Lorenzo Musetti (25) vs Alexander Zverev (4)

On paper, this quarter of the draw is likely one of the most open, with a number of gamers having a practical shot at reaching the quarterfinals.

Fourth seed Alexander Zverev might be trying to rebound from his closing defeat within the French Open with a powerful efficiency.

The German enters the match after a semifinal run on the Terra Wortmann Open in Halle. He all the time seems to be succesful on grass, troubling Federer a couple of years in the past, however he’s but to make it previous the fourth spherical at SW19.

Zverev has a fairly clean trip by means of the primary two rounds earlier than a possible third-round conflict with Jack Draper, who gained Stuttgart and defeated Alcaraz at Queen’s because of his massive lefty sport.

On the opposite aspect of this quarter is sixth seed Andrey Rublev, who reached the quarterfinals final yr however has a doubtlessly tough third-round match towards twenty fifth seed Lorenzo Musetti, who I feel will come by means of.

Zverev’s Path to the Title:

Backside Quarter

Seeded gamers: Novak Djokovic (2), Hubert Hurkacz (7), Alex de Minaur (9), Holger Rune (15), Felix Auger-Aliassime (17), Karen Khachanov (21), Francisco Cerundolo (26), Tomas Martin Etcheverry (30)

Probably quarter-final: Alex de Minaur (9) vs Nokav Djokovic (1)

Novak Djokovic enters Wimbledon after present process surgical procedure for a torn meniscus three weeks in the past.

That seems like a untimely comeback, however the process is thought to be quick-recovery, and Taylor Fritz was capable of play at Wimbledon in 2021 after receiving the identical therapy simply 14 days earlier.

The Serb hasn’t clinched a title this yr, so his quest for a historic twenty fifth Grand Slam gained’t be simple. However Djokovic is likely one of the finest post-2001 grass gamers ever, and he’s obtained a good sufficient draw.

First up is Vit Kopriva, who defeated veteran Richard Gasquet within the closing qualifying spherical to safe his place in the primary draw of a Main for the second time. Regardless of having a top-10 win underneath his belt, he’s unlikely to threaten Djokovic on grass critically.

In spherical two, it’s both Jacob Fearnley or Alejandro Moro Canas. They’re both British wildcards or qualifiers, which must be straightforward pickings.

Djokovic might encounter Etcheverry within the third spherical if the seeds maintain up. Nevertheless, Argentines on grass aren’t usually something to put in writing residence about. Luca Nardi, who ousted Djokovic from the Indian Wells Masters earlier this yr, may be a contender, however none of this part has pedigree on grass.

For the fourth spherical, the competitors will get a bit extra fascinating, with Holger Rune or Khachanov because the seeded gamers.

Rune is experiencing a tough patch, however he did make the quarter-finals final yr, and we all know at Wimbledon, the grass permits extra of a rally-based baseline sport. Khachanov additionally has a Wimbledon quarter-final on his CV. 

Within the final eight, Hurkacz and de Minaur are two doubtless opponents. De Minaur kicked off his grass swing by profitable the Libema Open, and the Australian is having a career-best season, so a rematch might be shut.

Hurkacz made the ultimate of his solely grass-court match in Halle and is a former Wimbledon semifinalist. Though he has misplaced all seven earlier encounters towards Djokovic, he stays a risk on grass along with his serve.

For the semi-finals, Zverev is the fourth seed, however Wimbledon is the one Main the place he hasn’t been previous the fourth spherical, so regardless of his stable type this yr, his look within the final 4 appears a protracted shot.

Ought to Zverev or Fritz falter, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Andrey Rublev, and Lorenzo Musetti are potential semifinalists. Of those three, solely Tsitsipas has reached past the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam.

Djokovic gained’t face his largest threats till the ultimate, as Alcaraz and Sinner are within the different half.

The Spaniard ended Djokovic’s four-year reign at Wimbledon in a five-set thriller final yr and just lately gained the French Open to assert his third Grand Slam title.

Sinner, the tour’s most in-form participant this yr, just lately ascended to the highest of the rankings and gained his fourth title of the season in Halle. He made the Wimbledon semifinals final yr, dropping to Djokovic in straight units.
