Wimbledon: Four Indian players to play men’s doubles
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Wimbledon 2025, the third Grand Slam of the tennis calendar, today began at the All England Club in London and will conclude with the men’s singles final on July 13.
Fresh off his maiden French Open triumph, Alcaraz will be looking to defend his title against world No. 1 Jannik Sinner and record 24-time Grand Slam winner Novak Djokovic. If he completes a hat-trick of Wimbledon titles, he will join legendary Bjorn Borg as the only men in the Open Era to complete a double of French Open-Wimbledon in consecutive years. Meanwhile, Alcaraz has said that the idea of completing a hat-trick of this prestigious Grand Slam is not on his mind, and he just wants to lift the trophy on grassy surfaces where the most beautiful tennis is played.
In Women’s Singles, Barbora Krejcikova is ready for title defence after injury scare. Krejcikova will start her campaign against Alexandra Eala of the Philippines in the first round tomorrow.
Four Indian tennis players will be in action in this year’s Wimbledon, all in the men’s doubles. Veteran Rohan Bopanna will partner Sander Gillé of Belgium while Yuki Bhambhri has teamed up with USA’s Robert Galloway with the Indo-American duo seeded 16th. Rithwik Bollipalli will play alongside Romania’s Nicolás Barrientos and N. Sriram Balaji has paired up with Mexico’s Miguel Reyes-Varela.
