Have you had a chance to check out the Wimbledon draw 2024 as of yet? The tournament is in full flow right now, and we’ve already witnessed some serious developments. This includes surprise defeats, shock withdrawals, and other intriguing stories that have hit the headlines inside the first few days.
Of course, I’ll be focusing on these stories and how they’ve impacted the Wimbledon 2024 draw right here. In addition, you can be sure I’ve covered the top seeds, title contenders, dark horses, and potential blockbusters to look out for at SW19 for the coming fortnight. It’s all very exciting, and I’m pumped to share this breakdown of the Wimbledon draw 2024 with you now.
Wimbledon draw 2024 – men’s singles
Contents
Starting with the men’s singles draw for 2024, it’s set to be another epic event. Djokovic is clinging on to the throne towards the top of the game. However, the challenges coming from the young guns are becoming more intense with each passing tournament. Nevertheless, Wimbledon is a place where Djokovic has thrived over the last 5/10 years. And I’m sure he’s eager to snatch another crown after his 2023 defeat to Alcaraz.
With that in mind, the Wimbledon draw 2024 is looking favourable for a few top players right now – as highlighted and discussed in the following sections:
Top seeds and title contenders
At the time of writing, two of the top eight seeds have lost in the men’s singles event. This includes Rublev and Ruud, so one could say that certain sections of the Wimbledon 2024 draw have opened up nicely. As for the remaining seeds and top contenders, let me give you the updated list:
- Jannik Sinner – seed 1
- Novak Djokovic – seed 2
- Carlos Alcaraz – seed 3
- Alexander Zverev – seed 4
- Hubert Hurkacz – seed 7
- Alex de Minaur – seed 9
From this list, it’s hard to look beyond Sinner, Djokovic, and Alcaraz as heavy favourites for the title. Sinner and Alcaraz have each won slams in 2024, and Djokovic is almost unstoppable at Wimbledon when he hits top gear.
Key underdogs
While the big dogs are the ones everyone is talking about right now, why not give some love to those who are sliding under the radar? Based on numerous factors, I believe that the following players have reasonable chances of going deep in the men’s singles:
- Taylor Fritz – previous quarter-finalist
- Jack Draper – in the form of his life
- Fabio Fognini – beat 8th seed and very favourable draw
- Tommy Paul – wide open draw, well suited to grass
This is a relatively condensed list, but I truly believe these guys could cause a few upsets and do something special at Wimbledon this year!
Wimbledon draw 2024 – women’s singles
After covering the men’s singles draw for 2024, it’s time to look closer at the women’s singles draw. Compared to the men’s event, I’d say the women’s singles tournament is more open, as there’s no clear favourite or grass court specialist. Additionally, no single player has been dominant at Wimbledon over the last few years in quite the same way that we’ve seen for the men.
Regardless, I’ve still covered the top contenders and key underdogs for the Wimbledon draw 2024 for the women’s event below:
Top seeds and title contenders
Much like the men’s event, a few big names are absent from the draw, at the time of writing. Sabalenka withdrew, and the 6th and 8th seeds (Vondrousova and Zheng) have lost already. This leaves the following seeds in the draw as potential Wimbledon winners for 2024:
- Iga Swiatek – seed 1
- Coco Gauff – seed 2
- Elena Rybakina – seed 4
- Jessica Pegula – seed 5
- Jasmine Paolini – seed 7
- Maria Sakkari – seed 9
As a previous winner, Rybakina is a key player to look out for this year. But with her style of play, Pegula has the potential to challenge for the trophy as well. Of course, the top seeds clearly have a claim as title contenders, too – especially Swiatek, who will be hungry for her first Wimbledon crown.
Key underdogs
I’ve taken a long look at the Wimbledon draw 2024 on the women’s side, and I feel that the following players could surprise us all this year:
- Danielle Collins – in the form of her career
- Jasmine Paolini – recent French Open finalist, supremely confident
- Ons Jabeur – two-time finalist
- Katie Boulter – recent title winner and experienced top player
All four players have okay draws in the women’s singles event to add to my speculation that they could go far!
Wimbledon 2024 draw – big games to lookout for
When looking into potential matchups, I don’t like to get too carried away. This means I prefer to stick with matches that could unfold within the first week or early in the second week. And on that note, based on the Wimbledon draw 2024, I believe that these matches could be absolute classics:
- Alcaraz vs Tiafoe – third round
- Fognini vs Bublik – possible fourth round
- Djokovic vs Rune – possible fourth round
- Collins vs Haddad Maia – possible third round
- Jabeur vs Pegula – possible fourth round
- Raducanu vs Sakkari – third round
Please note that some of these games are already confirmed, while the ‘possible’ descriptions indicate that this game is yet to be made official.
