Despite struggling for form in the lead up to the French Open, Djokovic found his A-game when it mattered most in Paris and looked largely unstoppable.
Lisi Niesner/ReutersRybakina became the first player from Kazakhstan to win a grand slam title after beating Ons Jabeur in three sets in last year’s Wimbledon final, catapulting her to stardom overnight.
Belarussian Sabalenka and Poland’s Iga Świątek are joint favorites to win the title alongside Rybakina, according to bookmakers.
Sabalenka has three titles to her name this year, including that maiden grand slam in Australia, and has matched her career-high of No.
Iga Swiatek is a four-time grand slam champion but is yet to win Wimbledon.
