Wimbledon 2021: Top 5 players who can win Wimbledon women’s singles title
Serena Williams
The tennis superstar is in the fray for her record-equalling 24th Grand Slam. She has struggled against Naomi Osaka and Simona Halep in the last few outings. The absence of these players is a huge boost for Serena Williams who has failed to win a Grand Slam title since the Australian Open 2017. She is likely to overcome Ash Barty in her bid to win her eighth Wimbledon crown.
Ash Barty
The World No.1 Ash Barty will be looking to win her maiden Wimbledon title and second overall. She is unlikely to face stiff competition and considered favorite to win the title. Serena Williams and Barbora Krejcikova are the only competitors who can create trouble for the Aussie. She had made it to round 4 in Wimbledon 2019. Having said that, Barty needs to overcome the injury that forced her to bow out of the French Open 2021 earlier this month.
Barbora Krejcikova
The French Open 2021 singles and doubles champion Barbora Krejcikova will now have her eyes set on the Wimbledon 2021. The 25-year-old would look to better her record in Wimbledon with her top form that saw her rise to No.14 in the WTA rankings. She had defeated Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova to win her French Open crown. She had also defeated the promising 17-year-old Coco Gauff in the tournament among notable victories.
Karolina Pliskova
Top seed Karolina Pliskova will look to make her comeback in Tennis top-flight event Wimbledon with a bang. She would like to overcome her recent struggles and come out on top to win the Championship. The 29-year-old Czech had earlier made it to the semifinals of the Australian Open, French Open, and finals of the US Open. She would look to better her Wimbledon record where her best includes round 4 exit.
Elina Svitolina
Svitolina, 26, will be looking to add her first grand slam to her name in Wimbledon 2021. The Ukrainian professional had reached the semifinals of the Wimbledon 2019. She will look to improve her record by winning the grand slam event. She is expected to do better in the upcoming contest after a defeat to Krejcikova in the French Open.
