Wimbledon 2024: Defending champion Marketa Vondrousova does a Steffi Graff at Wimbledon 2024

Iga Swiatek, Naomi Osaka, Coco Gauff and Ons Jabeur are among the players to look out for

Marketa Vondrousova became the first-ever unseeded player to win Wimbledon only a year ago. Her title defence, though, came crashing down as she was defeated in straight sets (6-4 6-2) by Spain’s Jessica Bouzas Maneiro on day 2 of the grass court Grand Slam tournament. This is only the second time in the history of the open era that a defending champion has lost in the first round. Prior to Vondrousova’s exit, it was Steffi Graf in 1994, when she lost to Lori McNeil.

When the Wimbledon women’s singles draw was announced on June 28, the prediction was that World No.1 Iga Swiatek, who has not had a great track record at the tournament and is gunning for a first title win, was to meet Vondrousova in the quarter-final. However, the defending champion’s early exit has changed this equation now.

While Aryna Sabalenka withdrew from the tournament, Coco Gauff, Naomi Osaka, Jasmine Paolini, Elena Rybakina, among others, cruised comfortably to round 2 of the third Slam of the year. Gauff, who is among the earliest to secure a round 3 berth, is expected to play Osaka in round 4.
