Wimbledon Round 1: Who are Alcaraz, Djokovic & Raducanu facing?
Wimbledon 2025 is here, so grab the peaches, cream and Pimm's.
Arguably the most prestigious tournament in the sport, 2025's third Grand Slam starts on Monday, 30 June and runs until Sunday, 13 July.
Carlos Alcaraz is the red-hot favourite to make it three titles in three years, but Novak Djokovic is always lurking.
22-year-old Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is undoubtedly the man to beat at Wimbledon in 2025. He's won 18 matches on the trot this year, including titles at Roland Garros and Queens, the warm-up event to Wimbledon. That Roland Garros win still reverberates around the tennis world; an epic five-set triumph against Jannik Sinner spanning five hours and 29 minutes. Alcaraz came from two sets down, saving three consecutive match points deep into the fourth. Carlos Alcaraz , on a quest to make it a three-peat of titles, will play the talented, sometimes temperamental Italian veteran Fabio Fognini.

Rassie to ring changes for Italy as Springboks spread game time
There are likely to be a number of changes to the Springbok team for their first official Test of the season against Italy from the one that faced the Baabaas. Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus chats to the media after their thumping win over the Barbarians in Cape Town. Picture: Grant Pitcher/Springbok coach Rassie Erasmus is expected to ring the changes for the first Test of the incoming series against Italy in Pretoria this weekend as he aims to spread game time across the whole squad over the coming weeks. The Boks got their season off to a cracking start with a 54-7 thumping of the Barbarians in their one-off non-Test in Cape Town on Saturday, and now turn their attention to their next three games against Italy and Georgia. Heading into the Baabaas match the Boks only made part of their squad available, leaving out most of the players who featured in various franchise finals late in the club season. But they will now have the full group of 46 players available for the incoming series, and might possibly even add a few extra players to the group for their last game against Georgia in Mbombela. Speaking after the Baabaas romp, Erasmus explained that the players who will be facing Italy in the matches in Pretoria and Gqeberha already knew the team lineups. 'The guys will know tomorrow (Sunday) night who's playing Italy 'one' and 'two'. They've got a fairly good idea already. The guys who played the Barbarians knew two weeks ago, so they had two weeks of training together,' said Erasmus. 'That's always a little bit of a caveat. If things don't go according to plan, Italy 'two' can always change. But we do know who the core of the team will be. So we definitely know who's in the mix for Italy 'one'.' Japan players The Japan-based players are expected to get some more game time, while senior players like captain Siya Kolisi, who was pulled out of the Baabaas game with a stiff neck on Friday, Eben Etzebeth, Bongi Mbonambi, Handre Pollard and Willie le Roux could all be in line to play this weekend. It will be interesting to see if any the four uncapped players who featured against the Baabaas, namely Vincent Tshituka, Asenathi Ntlabakanye, Neethling Fouche and Marnus van der Merwe, will receive their official first caps, while the Bulls players, such as Wilco Louw and Ruan Nortje, and Thomas du Toit (Bath) will also be in the mix. Erasmus also confirmed that star loose forward Pieter-Steph du Toit, who has been out injured since undergoing shoulder surgery in November last year, would likely be available for selection for the second Italian game. 'We won't get carried away with this performance (against the Baabaas). Certainly some guys showed us that they can do it at this level, but we'll layer them in to make sure there's a balance,' explained Erasmus. 'I think guys like Damian (de Allende), Jesse (Kriel) are a bit undercooked. Kurt-Lee (Arendse) hasn't really played in a lot of matches either in Japan and didn't come back to the Bulls. 'So we'll try to strike a balance so that when we're done with Georgia, we've got a group of 45 or 50 (players) that got some game time.'

‘I really want to win': confident Alcaraz targets rare Wimbledon three-peat
Carlos Alcaraz is chasing a slice of tennis immortality as he arrives at Wimbledon's pristine lawns, where he has the opportunity to join an illustrious but shortlist of men who have won the grass court Grand Slam three years in a row. The Spaniard could join an elite club of just four men — Bjorn Borg, Pete Sampras, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic — who have claimed three consecutive Wimbledon titles in the Open era. Yet the 22-year-old Alcaraz, radiating confidence that belies his youth, says the only thing on his mind is the trophy itself and not its legacy. 'I'm coming here thinking that I really want to win the title, I really want to lift the trophy, not thinking about how many players have won three Wimbledons in a row,' Alcaraz told reporters on Saturday. 'I just want to be ready, to prepare myself in the best way possible to start the tournament with a lot of confidence. Obviously I feel a lot of confidence right now,' he added with a smile. "I want to lift the trophy." Carlos Alcaraz is solely focused on the three-peat at Wimbledon 🏆🏆🏆 — TNT Sports (@tntsports) June 29, 2025 'Two weeks could be really long in a Grand Slam but right now I'm not thinking about who I could join if I win three Wimbledons in a row.' Such confidence is not misplaced, after he cemented his status as the Prince of Clay when he won a 5-1/2 hour epic to beat Jannik Sinner in the French Open final earlier this month. The world number two is now seeking to extend his reign on the grasscourts as well, warming up for Wimbledon by winning the Queen's Club Championship for a second time. Once billed as a clay court specialist as he climbed up the rankings, Alcaraz now speaks of grasscourts with the reverence of a true convert, saying that the 'most beautiful tennis that we can watch' is on grass. Carlos doing Carlos things 😏 #Wimbledon | @carlosalcaraz — Wimbledon (@Wimbledon) June 28, 2025 'The style that the people bring to the court when they play on grass, I think is so beautiful. The sound of the ball, the movement is really tough — but when you get it, it's like you're flying,' he said. 'It's just pretty to me because I really want to hit slices, drop shots, go to the net all the time and play aggressively. I think on grass it's the style that you have to play, so that's what I like the most.' What truly sets Alcaraz apart from other players is his fearlessness in the face of adversity, evident from how he saved three championship points against Sinner to eventually lift a second straight title at Roland Garros. 'When I'm playing without thinking about anything else, but just playing or just thinking about the enjoyment, I think I get that freedom to play whatever I like — I just enjoy,' he explained. 'When that happens, I always show my best tennis, my best level. So far I'm feeling the most freedom that I've played.'

Carlos Alcaraz starts his bid for a third successive Wimbledon men's title, while volatile women's world number one Aryna Sabalenka will be in the spotlight as the grass-court Grand Slam gets underway on Monday. Play begins at 12:00 (SA time), with action on Centre Court kicking off at 14:30 (SA time). As the headline act in the 138th Championships, it is fitting that Alcaraz will open play on Centre Court when the world number two faces 38-year-old Italian Fabio Fognini. It would be a seismic shock if Alcaraz, who has never lost in a Grand Slam first round in 17 appearances, became just the third men's champion to suffer an opening match defeat at Wimbledon after Manuel Santana in 1967 and Lleyton Hewitt in 2003. Having vanquished Novak Djokovic in the past two Wimbledon finals, Alcaraz arrives in south-west London looking to join an elite group of Wimbledon icons. The 22-year-old Spaniard's clay-court credentials are firmly established but he is equally dynamic on grass. Alcaraz has won 29 of his 32 Tour-level matches on the surface, with his last defeat at Wimbledon coming against Jannik Sinner in the last 16 in 2022. Alcaraz is bidding to become the fifth man in the Open Era to win at least three consecutive Wimbledon titles after seven-time champion Djokovic, Bjorn Borg, Roger Federer and Pete Sampras. If he achieves that target, Alcaraz would be the second-youngest player in the Open Era to win six Grand Slam men's titles after Borg, who reached that landmark in 1978. 'I'm coming here thinking I really want to win the title, I really want to lift the trophy. I'm not thinking about how many players have done it, winning three Wimbledons in a row,' said Alcaraz, who fought back from two sets down in his epic French Open final victory against world number one Sinner in June. 'I'm just thinking that I want to prepare myself in the best way possible. Obviously I feel a lot of confidence right now.' The latest edition of Wimbledon starts in the midst of a brief heatwave in London. Temperatures at Wimbledon are expected to climb to a scorching 33 degrees Celsius on Monday, making the weather a challenge for players and spectators alike. Sabalenka will be determined to keep her cool when the top seed starts her campaign against Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine on Court One. The 27-year-old Belarusian is a three-time Grand Slam champion, but has suffered agonising three-set defeats in this year's Australian Open and French Open finals. Sabalenka was beaten by Madison Keys in Melbourne and Coco Gauff in Paris, with the latter defeat triggering a frustrated outburst from the loser. She was heavily criticised for claiming the Roland Garros loss was due to her own mistakes rather than Gauff's performance. Sabalenka later apologised for describing the match as the worst final she had played.

I was just completely upset with myself, and emotions overcame me. I just completely lost it,' Sabalenka said. 'It was a tough time for me. The lesson is learned. I was able to sit back and be open to myself, not just to ignore some things. 'I really hope it will never happen again.' Sabalenka, who has reached the final in five of the past six Grand Slams she has contested, has yet to make the Wimbledon showpiece, losing in the last four in 2021 and 2023. There are 23 British players in the men's and women's singles – the most since 1984 – and four have been given prestigious slots on Wimbledon's top two courts on Monday. Katie Boulter meets Spanish ninth seed Paula Badosa on Centre Court, while Jacob Fernley faces Brazilian teenager Joao Fonseca on Court One. Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu takes on 17-year-old fellow Briton Mingge Xu on Court One. Elsewhere on Monday, German third seed Alexander Zverev faces Arthur Rinderknech, while Italian fourth seed Jasmine Paolini, beaten by Krejcikova in last year's final, opens against Anastasija Sevastova. Women's champion Barbora Krejcikova, recovered from a thigh injury, will start her title defence against Alexandra Eala of the Philippines on Tuesday.
