Marketa Vondrousova and Elena Rybakina added themselves to the list of women’s singles major champions over the last two years in London.
The Wimbledon results have been a welcome sight since the tournament comes after the French Open, which Iga Swiatek is winning at Rafael Nadal levels.
American Jessica Pegula is the top seed without a major in the Wimbledon draw this year. Pegula, the No. 5 seed, made it to the quarterfinals at three majors last season, but she was knocked out in the third round at Wimbledon.
In fact, Pegula has never made it past the third round in three previous appearances at Wimbledon.
Jasmine Paolini, whose star rose with a trip to the French Open final, is the next highest seed without a major.
But the best player without a major title to watch at Wimbledon is No. 10 seed Ons Jabeur.
Jabeur reached the Wimbledon final in each of the last two years and has been to five Grand Slam quarterfinals since the start of 2022.
A breakthrough for Jabeur would be one of the more popular women’s Grand Slam wins in a while given how close she’s gotten at Wimbledon.
