Follow live coverage of Wimbledon 2024Welcome to the Wimbledon briefing, where The Athletic will explain the stories behind the stories on each day of the tournament.

Elena Rybakina is one of three players left in the women’s field who has won a Grand Slam title before.
Rybakina plays with a big serve and with flat power that keeps her ball low.
