Emotions of the strong, well-known rivals and a guaranteed spectacle, both in the men’s and women’s teams, from the first day in Wimbledon 2024. All that and more promises.
For example, without going any further, Iga Swiatek (2-0 against each other) will face Sofia Kenin. They are two Grand Slam champions. The Polish at Roland Garros 2020, 2022, 2023 and 2024; and the American in the Aus Open 2020.
Same case for Victoria Azarenka (Australian Open 2012 and 2013) and Sloane Stephens (US Open 2017). A 5-4 in favor of the Belarusian in the history between the two.
Besides, Paula Badosa will start against Karolina Muchova, finalist at Roland Garros in 2023. The Spaniard after reaching the quarterfinals in Bad Homburg, the best result of her career in a grass-court tournament.
Among the knights, the one of Nicolas Jarry and Denis Shapovalov looks good even without fighting each other; another could be that of a certain Andy Murray, still with doubts about whether he will play or not, vs. Tomas Machac, against whom he injured his ankle ligaments at the Miami Masters 1000.
