Novak Djokovic is on a quest to make history, aiming for his 25th major singles title and to match Roger Federer’s impressive record of eight Wimbledon men’s singles crowns. Meanwhile, Stan Wawrinka is chasing a career Grand Slam, a feat that would cement his legacy in the tennis world. Carlos Alcaraz, the current champion, will face stiff competition as he attempts to defend his title. The 2024 Championships mark a significant milestone, being the 137th edition of the prestigious tournament, the 130th staging of the Ladies’ Singles event, and the 56th in the Open Era. This Grand Slam event is proudly presented by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is part of the 2024 ATP and WTA Tour calendars, as well as the 2024 ITF junior and wheelchair competitions.

Top seed Sinner finds himself in the top quarter, facing a challenging path ahead. His journey begins against Germany’s Yannick Hanfmann, and he may encounter a familiar foe in Matteo Berrettini, the 2021 finalist, in the second round.
