Carlos Alcaraz starts Wimbledon hat-trick hunt with tricky Fognini encounter, early Azarenka hurdle possible for Gauff
Carlos Alcaraz will begin his bid for a third consecutive Wimbledon title with a tricky opening match against the volatile Fabio Fognini at Centre Court when the tournament begins Monday. Meanwhile, Coco Gauff, who won the women's singles title at the French Open by beating World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka, faces the possibility of facing two-time Australian Open champion Victoria Azarenka in the second round and a rematch with 28th seed Sofia Kenin in the third. Kenin eliminated Gauff in the opening round at Wimbledon two years ago. The potential men's quarterfinals in the draw, which was declared on Friday are: No. 1 Jannik Sinner against No. 7 Lorenzo Musetti, No. 4 Jack Draper against No. 6 Novak Djokovic — who has won seven of his 24 major trophies at the All England Club — No. 2 Alcaraz against No. 8 Holger Rune, and No. 3 Alexander Zverev against No. 5 Taylor Fritz. Seven-time champion Djokovic must defy age and the odds in what may be the 38-year-old's best opportunity to claim an elusive 25th Grand Slam crown after losing to Alcaraz in the previous two title clashes at the All England Club. Alcaraz and Sinner can only meet in the final. If that happens, it will be a repeat of the record-breaking French Open earlier this year in which the former won after a gruelling five hours and 29 minutes. The possible women's quarterfinals are: No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka vs. No. 6 Madison Keys, and No. 4 Jasmine Paolini vs. No. 5 Zheng Qinwen in the top half, and No. 2 Coco Gauff vs. No. 8 Iga Swiatek or 2022 champion Elena Rybakina, and No. 3 Jessica Pegula vs. No. 7 Mirra Andreeva in the bottom half. Gauff, coming off her second major title at the French Open, will open Wimbledon on Tuesday against Dayana Yastremska, a 2024 Australian Open semifinalist. Sabalenka, meanwhile, begins her campaign with a match against Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine, and could meet 2024 Wimbledon quarterfinalist Lulu Sun in the second round and 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu or 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in the third.

After ‘insulting' Novak Djokovic, veteran Wimbledon presenter axed from TV coverage
In a massive move ahead of Wimbledon 2025, Australian broadcaster Channel Nine has removed Tony Jones from their coverage for the upcoming tennis tournament. The decision comes after Jones' fallout with Novak Djokovic during the Australian Open. Novak Djokovic during a training session.(AP) In January, Jones stirred controversy during the Australian Open broadcasting with remarks on on Djokovic and his Serbian fans. He said, 'Novak, he's overrated.' He also remarked, 'Novak's a has-been.' He also made a statement on the Serbian's 2022 deportation due to visa issues and Covid-19 rules in Australia. 'Novak, kick him out… Boy, I'm glad they can't hear me.' Jones joined Nine Network in 1986, and has been their frontman in sports coverage for a long time. In reaction, Djokovic also boycotted his on-court interview after his fourtn round win. Later, Djokovic had said, 'Channel Nine here in Australia made a mockery of Serbian fans and also made insulting and offensive comments towards me.' Then Jones claimed that he had already apologised to Djokovic. 'The comments were made on the news on the Friday night, which I considered to be banter. I considered it to be humour, which is consistent with most things I do,' Jones said. 'Having said that, I was made aware on Saturday morning, from Tennis Australia via the Djokovic camp, that the Djokovic camp was not happy at all with those comments. As such I immediately contacted the Djokovic camp and issued and apology to them - 48 hours ago - for any disrespect that Novak felt, that I had caused. 'As I stand here now I can only stand by that apology to Novak. I should also say the disrespect was extended, in many ways, to the Serbian fans. We have built up a nice rapport with the Serbian fans... there is banter, and I thought what I was doing was an extension of that banter. Quite clearly that has not been interpreted that way. I feel as though I've let down the Serbian fans. It has been an unfortunate situation,' he added.
