The 2021 French Open has just concluded; however, Wimbledon is only a week and a half away!
Last year, it didn't happen at all, due to COVID - so, Novak Djokovic is the defending champion from 2019. His victory at Roland Garros last Sunday put him on a total of 19 Grand Slam trophies... meaning that a victory here would put him level with Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal on 20 Majors each . Will he do it? He certainly enters the tournament as the clear favourite, so you'd be brave to bet against it. Or will Federer take his ninth Wimbledon title, thus putting him clear at the top of the all-time table on 21 Slams? (Of course, Nadal would have been able to do the same had he won this tournament; however, he's pulled out of it, to recuperate after the clay court season. Likewise, four-time Grand Slam champion Naomi Osaka won't be playing, as she aims to overcome her depression and anxiety - and I wish both players all the best )
A bit of a shame there's going to be a depleted field - but, it's good to see Wimbledon back on at last after two years!
