Right before Wimbledon began, Novak Djokovic declared it was the tournament that gave him the best chance to claim an unprecedented 25th Grand Slam singles trophy. Made sense, really, given that he’s won seven titles there already and reached the past six finals.

In his column for 'El Pais', Toni Nadal expressed some very interesting thoughts on the top favorites in this edition of the Championships: "Although Nole Djokovic is now far from his 'prime', he is still very dangerous on these courts and could be the second favorite top behind Carlitos Alcaraz thanks to his infinite experience."

No. 1 Jannik Sinner moved on despite a painful right elbow and a two-set deficit when No. 19 Grigor Dimitrov quit because of an injured chest muscle.
