2019 Wimbledon seed reports:


WOMEN

1. Ashleigh Barty (AUS): Bash Arty. Your new No.1 is the hot pick to win the Channel Double (The Tennis Channel Double, as it ere.) and with good reason. If she can win majors on clay, why not on grass, where her athleticism, all-court skills and kick serve can flourish? She also seems singularly well-equipped to handle the inevitable spike in attention/expectation. Note a possible third rounder v. Muguruza.

2. Naomi Osaka (JPN): Tiptoes in after a quiet clay season. A strange defeat at Edgbaston. Her game—and her athleticism— ought to translate well to grass. But we need a state of the union on her state of mind. 

3. Karolina Pliskova (CZE):  Is the “Best Player Never to Have Won A Slam”—tennis’ great topspin backhanded compliment—ready to shed that label? We’re thinking .... decent chance. Lost to her twin sister in Birmingham, which made for a  https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/KRmTCzpApYFM3zXDDt4h_pM?domain=wtatennis.com" rel="nofollow - good storyline , but had little predictive value. With her draw and a few confidence-fortifying wins, look out.

4 Kiki Bertens (NED): In a vacuum she is definitely in the contender list, having long since proven that she can play on surfaces in addition to clay. Love the athleticism. But you wonder whether the intimations of her Roland Garros retirement will linger.

5. Angelique Kerber (GER): One pauses before recalling that she is the defending champ. If the ankle isn’t 100 percent she can get bounced early (as was the case in Paris.) If the ankle is better she can win again.

6. Petra Kvitova (CZE): In full health, she is as good a candidate to win as anyone. But the two-time champ is in something considerably less than full health. We’ll see if she remains in the draw.

7. Simona Halep (ROU): A quiet year for the former No.1. But grass rewards her movement and she is back with coach Darren Cahill.

8. Elina Svitolina (UKR): Very quiet season for a very talented player. Intriguing draw suggests that this could be a place to rev up the engine.

9. Sloane Stephens (USA): Your guess is as good as hers, which is part of the fun. Coming off both a first round Wimbelodn loss in 2018 and a shaky loss at Eastbourne.

10. Aryna Sabalenka (BLR): Like the Mac pinwheel, it’s been a year of buffering so far, barely playing .500 ball in 2019. Her power ought to pay off on grass, but her slump showed few signs of relenting on grass. 

11. Serena Williams (USA): The draw’s big question mark. We worry about Serena. Health concerns, motherhood, outside obligations and, above all, no match play since Paris. Say this: if she DOES win title— at age 37, with so little momentum—it might mark her impressive major campaign ever. Which is saying quite something.

12. Anastasija Sevastova (LAT): Fun player to watch who can get too cute for her own good. Her career record at Wimbledon, alas, is 1-6.

13. Belinda Bencic (SUI): Former Wimbledon junior champ is a player to watch. Reached the final of Mallorca but couldn’t close despite holding match points. Is there collateral damage? If not watch her middle Monday against Barty.

14. Caroline Wozniacki (DEN): Will be playing first MAJOR as a married woman. Grass has never been her best surface. Never been beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon. 

15. Qiang Wang (CHN): Maybe the best player you’ve never seen. But she’s 1-4 for her career at Wimbledon.

16. Marketa Vondrousova (CZE): Coming off a French Open final run. Looking for her first Wimbledon 

SEEDS 17-32

17. Madison Keys (USA): Becoming a reliable Week Two major player. Always dangerous but can be delicate.

19. Johanna Konta (GBR): Coming off a deep run in Paris and has handled local expectation well before at Wimbledon. A real opportunity in an open draw.

22. Donna Vekic (AUS): Big game, learning how to close matches. And a middle Monday player in 2018. Tough first rounder against Alison Riske.

24 Petra Martic (CRO): versatile and athletic player coming off a nice French Open.

25. Amanda Anisimova (USA): American teen makes her main draw Wimby debut as she continues her inexorable ascent. Why not add grass to her basket of deliverables?

26.  Garbiñe Muguruza (ESP): Whoa, is that a big number alongside the name of the 2017 Wimblledon champ. What happened to her career has become the great potboiler mystery of tennis.

27. Sonia Kenin (USA): Mallorca winner has proven she can play on grass. And, more importantly, she comes with a taste for battle—as evidenced in Paris when she beat Serena Williams.

28. Su-Wei Hsieh (TPE): Watch her play. Trust us.

DARK HORSES

Venus Williams (USA): All FIVE-time champs deserves mention. (First-rounder against Coco Gauff is quite a story.)

Svetlana Kuznetsova (RUS): All 2x-major champs get mention…speaking of….

Victoria Azarenka (BLR): A two-time Grand Slam champ playing her way back. 

Maria Sharapova (RUS): Has become a bit of a forgotten woman.

Jelena Ostapenko (LAT): Wheels have fallen off a bit, but a former major champ is a former champ. 

Kristina Mladenovic (FRA): Two years ago she was being considered as a favorite. Now with Sascha Bajin, she is way too good to be ranked this modestly.

Barbora Strycova (CZE): Czech vet knows her way around the grass.

Kaia Kanepi (EST): because it’s a Major….

FIRST-ROUND MATCHES TO WATCH

Venus Williams v. Coco Gauff: Here’s a link:  https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/JNKaCyPzP2srgPnZDuMpotS?domain=facebook.com" rel="nofollow - Unstrung: The Williams Effect

Donna Vekic v. Allie Riske: Two players who almost qualify as grass court specialists.

Ons Jabeur v. Kvitova: Jabeur coming off a splendid week in Eastbourne. If Kvitova isn’t healthy, this has upset potential.

Su-wei Hsieh v. Jelena Ostapenko: A contrast in every way.

Alize Cornet v. Victoria Azarenka: Two veterans who have both played deep at Wimbledon.

Aryna Sabalenka v. Magdalena Rybarikova: With the winner player Venus/Gauff winner.

UPSET SPECIAL

Gauff d. Venus

PREDICTIONS

Doubles winner: Mladenovic and Timea Babos for the Channel Double.

Semis: We’re thinking this draw is actually somewhat chalky. Barty d. total surprise (Animsimova? Siniakova?), Pliskova d. Osaka

Finals: Barty d. Plsikova


MEN

1. Novak Djokovic (SRB): The defending champ returns to the scene where Career 2.0 began last summer. Not much prep work on the lawns, but he seldom struggles with the clay-to-grass costume change. And perhaps the rest did him well. His movement, his positioning, and his defense—as impenetrable as British cuisine—it all makes him so hard to beat. Despite his (slight) French Open backslide, we pick him to defend. 

2. Roger Federer (SUI): The Wimbledon track record doesn’t just speak for itself; it yodels. His first trip to the Paris sandbox since 2015 was a success. The grass tune-ups went quite well. His draw is mostlly benign. He builds his schedule to peak at Wimbledon—and he has a real shot at reaching the summit for a ninth time. 

3. Rafael Nadal (ESP): “What happen-ned in Paris happen-ed in Paris.” Like a stoplight, we now go from red to green. Coming off a dominant, peak form French Open. But since his last Wimbledon title in (gulp) 2010, Nadal’s campaigns have ended with uncommon disappointment, either early exits or heartbreakers, i.e. last year’s potentially historical semifinal loss to Djokovic. His seed drop notwithstanding, Nadal ought to ride in with loads of confidence after Paris. Is he ready to win on grass again? We’ll learn plenty—not least temperamentally—when/if he plays Kyrgios in the second round.

4. Kevin Anderson (RSA): Another seeding beneficiary. Last year’s finalist—and other legacy: winning pplayer in, mercifully, Wimbledon’s last marathon match—returns. You wish he were coming in with more match play. You wish there were a full bill of health in 2019. But between the serve and the experience, he ought to be fine.

5. Dominic Thiem (AUT): Left Paris on a relative high, reaching the final—though it was offset by his winning two games in the last two sets. On the one hand, a first-round Wimbledon defeat in 2018 means that he is playing with house sterling; it also suggests he’ll have to make significant upgrades to live up to his seeding. Not a great surface for his game, as the grass robs him of time. And he’ll get an early test against hard-serving Sam Querrey. But Thiem is becoming the kind of pro’s pro you expect to see in week two, circumstances be damned.  https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/nxefCjRBR6sn20OZ0SW_s-k?domain=tennisworldusa.org" rel="nofollow - And what a mensch .

6. Alexander Zverev (GER): After a dismal spring, the German turned in a respectable French Open but then backslid in tune-ups. Still needs to prove himself in week two of a Major, a burden that—like credit card debt—compounds with each disappointment. But we’re still buying on the dip; especially since his Wimbledon draw is most generous. 

7. Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE): A Greek bearing gifts. Perhaps the best pick to win the event outside the big three. Announced himself at Wimbledon last year and has not stopped the ascent. His loss in Queens to FAA dulls some of the excitement and curtails some of the momentum. But, big picture, who isn’t optimistic here?

8. Kei Nishikori (JPN): Cutting and pasting… a steady, admirable player…who just lacks the weaponry—and physical durability—to compete for the biggest trophies.

9. John Isner (USA): Not dissimilar to the prognosis for Anderson, his semifinal opponent in 2018. Isner comes in with little match play and you wonder about the state of his health (left foot) before embarking on a best-of-five campaign. But: have serve, will travel. (Though a dangerous first rounder against Christian Ruud.)  Read  https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/245qCkRgRXsO7vwovsVg9Ut?domain=forbes.com" rel="nofollow - this  while you’re here.

10. Karen Khachanov (RUS): Started turning what has been a miserable year at Roland Garros. A fourth-round Wimbledon showing in 2018 and a nice draw ought to help him get at least that far in 2019. A better mover—and, by extension, grass courter—than you might expect. And he adapts well to fast courts in general.

11. Daniil Medvedev (RUS): The store-brand Djokovic. His offense-defense game works well on any surface. Reached 2R in 2017 and 3R in 2018. So at least the trend lines are headed in the right direction.  

—Let’s pause here—a space Juan Martin del Potro ought to inhabit—and wish him well. A gold-medal guy who can’t catch a break from the Tennis Fates.

12. Fabio Fognini (ITA): Bravo for Fognini for piercing the top 10 at this advanced age. But he’s never been beyond the third round at Wimbledon and gets Frances Tiafoe off the bat.

13. Marin Cilic (CRO): A former finalist, but he’s in the middle of a forgettable year. Upset alert early, as he faces Adrian Mannarino—a tricky and experienced French lefty with grass skills—in the first round.

14. Borna Coric (CRO): Solid Croatian player still seeking a major breakthrough. Unlikely to come here, as he is 1-4 at Wimbledon for his career. 

15. Milos Raonic (CAN): Is it possible he is the forgotten Canadian right now? Though durability is always an issue, he is a former finalist, a former Federer-taker-outer-at-Wimbledon, and he comes armed with that titanic serve.

16. Gael Monfils (FRA): The usual—a fun player to watch and a fine showman who entertains more than he contends. The real question: has G.E.M.S. Life been revived?

SEEDS 17-32

17. Matteo Berettini (ITA): Remarkable how well the 6’5” Italian has transitioned from clay to grass. Racking up wins after Paris—including the Stuttgart title—helps you forget he has only played Wimbledon once before, losing in round 2.

19. Felix Auger-Aliassime (CAN): When you’re 18 and closing in on the top 20, and have yet to win a main draw singles match at a major, you’re doing something right. Sixth favorite with the oddsmakers, as we write this.

21. David Goffin (BEL): Not his best surface, but a slick and efficient mover, playing well of late, whose grass season includes a win over Zverev.

22. Stan Wawrinka (SUI): The other Swiss Mister is coming off a strong French Open and comes to Wimbledon with new grass consultant, Danny Valverdu. Still, there’s a reason we don’t talk much about his Career Slam chances. Needs too much time to be as effective on grass as he is on the other surfaces.

29. Denis Shapovalov (CAN): The fan base might be getting impatient for the next step in his ascent; but worth bearing in mind: he just turned 20.

32. Dusan Lajovic (SRB): Deserves mention if only he because zings such a gorgeous one-hander.

DARK HORSES

Nick Kyrgios (AUS): Is it time for our story to take a redemptive turn?

Sam Querrey (USA): A quiet year but a Wimbledon semifinalist in 2017 and a quarterfinalist the year before that.

Pierre-Hugues Herbert (FRA): Will get plenty of attention, given his doubles partner (Andy Murray), but his all—court game is well-tailored to grass.

Grigor Dimitrov (BUL): Man, could he use a strong tournament. Former semifinalist and such a likable guy you sometimes have to strain to be objective here when describing his slide.

Feliciano Lopez (ESP): Your Queen’s Club Champion.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga (FRA): No threat to win, but talk about a dangerous early opponent. He’s 30-10 for his career at Wimbledon with a five-set win over Federer included.

FIRST-ROUND MATCHES TO WATCH

Felix Auger-Aliassime v. Vasek Pospisil: They the North.

Dominic Thiem v. Sam Querrey: If Querrey is close to 100 percent physically, he has a real shot.

Kyrgios v. Jordan Thompson: Mates have at it.

Taylor Fritz v. Tomas Berdcyh: young American gets a former finalist.

Jan-Lennard Struff v. Marcos Baghdatis: not a banger, but pause to acknowledge what’s likely to be Bagman’s last match.

UPSET SPECIAL

Can’t quite pull the trigger on Thiem/Querrey. So we’ll say Tiafoe to beat Fognini.

PREDICTIONS

Doubles winner: The sentimentalist would say Andy Murray and Pierre-Hugues Herbert. But we’re going with the Bryan Bros, Bob and Mike, for old time’s sake.

Semis:  Djokovic d. Zverev, Federer d. total surprise (Dan Evans? Kyrgios?)

Finals: Djokovic d. Federer

Jeez it's easy to win women's grand slams.Wink Barty has peaked at the right time. The 3 opponents with the most class and who would normally be her biggest obstacles are:

Serena- old and tired
Naomi- in a tizzzy
Petra- injury concerns

There's really no mountains to climb to get to the top of women's tennis atm with Serena in decline. On the men's side, by contrast, you've got to scale, Mt Federer, Djokovic and Nadal before you reach the summit.

Donald Trump & Scomo are the top seeds but you rate them lowly.

Tennis is great to have an interest in .     Betting has many non triers & they need to be weeded out.

Tomic & Krygios are 2 good examples.

Recently the Pliskova twins met in a lead up tournament and the worst player of the two won .      VERY SUSPECT .     was Karolina playing her sister into Wimbledon     ( Get some Stewards like Bailey )

Interesting first night. When you're getting your arse kicked by 15yos it's time to give it up, Venus. Space cadet Naomi zonked out as usual. Younger generation of men as usual, rubbish. Old guys to rule FOREVER!

I can't figure out how you manage to get into an argument with the officials in tennis these days. What does Kyrgios spit the dummy over? The only thing I can think of are foot faults and coaching penalties. Everything else is in the hands of the player and a computer.

Since mastermind Kyrgios never has a coach I can rule out coaching penalties. So is it foot faults? Does Kyrgios blow up over getting foot faulted?Confused

Almost every tennis match is a bore. 

A match between two women could only be less so, if it was played in mud or jelly, without racquets and a ball, and the winner was the first to pin her opponent ... actually, make that best of 3 pins ... and grunting is allowed.

From Roger Federer to Karolina Pliskova, players haven't been shy in commenting on the surface speed at the All England Club.

By Cale Hammond

July 03, 2019


It’s no secret that the All England Club’s pristine grass courts have slowed down substantially over the years. The 2002 edition of Wimbledon marked the initial shift towards a slower speed, and the results were immediately apparent. 

One year after the 2001 instant-classic men’s final between serving stars Goran Ivanisevic and Patrick Rafter, the men’s final featured two baseliners, Lleyton Hewitt and David Nalbandian. This was the first Wimbledon final of its kind, and it was a sign of things to come. 

Now, it seems the courts are slower than ever, and the players have taken notice. 

Eight-time champion http://www.tennis.com/player/376/roger-federer/" rel="nofollow - Roger Federer was quick to sound off on Centre Court's slower speed after his opening-round victory over Lloyd Harris.

“I just felt like it was slow, I couldn’t really have any impact,” he said. “I don’t think I had an ace in the first two sets maybe.”

Federer even went as far as saying Wimbledon is no longer the fastest-playing Grand Slam tournament.

“I definitely think Wimbledon has not been the fastest overall. If you look at rally length, US Open is shorter rallies on average than Wimbledon. That tells you the story a little bit.”

American Denis Kudla, who is something of a grass-court specialist, was shocked by the court speed this year.

"Everyone thinks it's how big your serve is and coming to net; it's really the opposite. It's returners and movers who win on grass. This is definitely the slowest Slam, by far. These courts are so slow right now it's crazy." -Denis Kudla, a grass lover, on https://twitter.com/hashtag/Wimbledon?src=hash" rel="nofollow - - # - Wimbledon

Belinda Bencic, who triumphed as a junior in 2013 and excels on quick courts, also noticed a shift from her previous appearances. 

“I think the grass is higher,” she said in her press conference Tuesday. “I remember the serve was more effective the years before. Now it's like everybody can return it, just like on a hard court.”

The slower pace will reward elite returners who can handle the powerful serves that are muted by the court speed. Italy's Thomas Fabbiano, 5' 7'', has already taken out two of the games' biggest servers, Stefanos Tstitsipas and Ivo Karlovic, in consecutive five-setters.

http://www.tennis.com/player/532/novak-djokovic/" rel="nofollow - Novak Djokovic , arguably the game’s greatest returner, appears to be the real winner. Anything can happen, but on a grass court that plays like a hard court, Djokovic will be close to unbeatable. 

American Sloane Stephens, who has historically struggled on grass, welcomes the change of pace.

“I played on the grounds earlier in the week," she said. "I thought they were super, super slow.” 

Karolina Pliskova, who has averaged over seven aces per match in 2019, seemed disappointed with the court speed after her first-round victory.

“The ball just stays, doesn't really go," she sais. "It doesn't really slide. Even for the serve, I thought if I still hit good serve, you can still have a point. It was more rallies than I thought there was going to be." 

http://www.tennis.com/player/1435/reilly-opelka/" rel="nofollow - Reilly Opelka , who won the junior tournament in 2015 and http://www.tennis.com/pro-game/2019/07/stan-wawrinka-vs-reilly-opelka-atp-london-wimbledon-second-round/83081/" rel="nofollow - shocked Stan Wawrinka in five sets on Wednesday, could hardly believe how much conditions have changed, saying, “This year Wimbledon is playing as slow as I have ever seen a grass court.”

The points are longer and the rallies offer entertainment, but it remains a mystery why a tournament so steeped in tradition insists on drastically changing its signature surface.



Bjorn Borg would have won Wimbledon 15 years straight on the modern neutered courts.Wink

I agree with your assessment of those two but I don't think they have ruined the game, there are plenty of other players to watch.

What I don't understand is people saying Kyrgios makes the game interesting and they can't stop watching him. Also those who want him to win because he is Australian I am the opposite, cant stand watching the obnoxious grub for 30 seconds and hope he loses whoever he plays

Incredibly talented, I don't know about that. Has a lot of talent but so do many others

Anyway is an insignificant blip on the tennis radar, in a few years when he retires having achieved nothing he will be forgotten whilst those he jealously derides will be forever in the annals of tennis greats

Blunt but well put Whale .

I plunged on Nadal and had many anxious moments . Krgios is a grub , but what a waste of natural talent.     .   He was a mosquito's dick from winning and i'd suggest his uncontrollable episodes beat him .

About as Australian as my Chihuahua , even so , how could anyone barrack for him.

   She appears to have lost a bit of poundage for this Wimbleton but still a horse by comparison.

Halep is deadly accurate and should run Williams around tonight.

Gosh you are an effin expert on tennis too   NOT.

It is a mystery because nobody in tennis has ever had a build like hers, usually such a build is a handicap in tennis, too bulky, hampers agility, mobility, endurance, reach recovery. 
The fact is she is a freakish who overcomes what are normally disadvantages but not in her case

So let me understand what your actually saying Whale. Serena is actually a great player DESPITE all of her physical handicaps - her huge bum, her broad shoulders , her massive thighs, her powerful chest - is that what you are saying ? So if she was to be reincarnated WITHOUT all of those “disadvantages” she would be an even greater player ? Is that the common sense stuff you were referring too ?

Can’t wait for tonight! Djoker v Fed should be an absolute cracker. Likely to be a tight encounter as many of them are between these two. Djoker doing his usual thing getting past people without too much fuss but have seen times when he looked vulnerable although obviously found a way to step it up when required. Federer has been working into the tournament nicely and has looked better and better as it has gone on culminating in a 4 set win over Nadal on Friday in what was a high quality match. Toss of the coin stuff but when pushed Id go Fed in 5.

Federer is going to have the same problem as Williams - X 10Shocked - the ball will keep coming back. There is nobody in the the history of tennis as good at getting the ball back as Djokovic.
