A new stage opens in the tennis season, and both the ATP and WTA circuits are getting ready for the assault on the grass-court swing. Wimbledon 2026 is already looming on the calendar, but before that, there will be three weeks of competition to prepare for the grand event. Questions arise about how the most interesting aspects will be addressed in this upcoming month, along with mysteries to be unveiled. Let's analyze it.

Few seasons of the year are as loaded with tennis and hold such a special magic as the upcoming one. There will be five weeks of competition with 7 tournaments to be played. Stuttgart and s-Hertogenbosch, the highlights in the form of ATP 500, Halle and Queen's, and a final week before Wimbledon 2026 with tournaments in Eastbourne and Mallorca will shape the tour leading to the grand gathering at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. What can we expect from the world's best tennis players during all this time?

Questions to be answered in the grass-court swing with Wimbledon 2026 as the grand goal

1. Will Jannik Sinner regain his best form and assert his favoritism?

The echoes of what happened in Paris are still ringing, but Sinner is aware that much is at stake in this swing. With Alcaraz still absent, he has a great opportunity to defend his Wimbledon title and solidify his position as number 1. He needs to regain his top physical condition and build confidence. He will not compete until Wimbledon.

2. Can Alexander Zverev raise his level on grass after the great success at Roland Garros?

The German has never stood out for his grass-court game, as evidenced by never having gone beyond the fourth round at Wimbledon. However, many believe that lifting the burden of winning a Grand Slam could lead him to push his limits on this surface and contend for glory in London.

3. Will Novak Djokovic firmly pursue the coveted 25th Grand Slam title?

This could be his last great chance. Without Alcaraz, on a surface he masters like no other, and with a diminished roster of strong opponents, with Sinner lacking rhythm and confidence, and arriving himself fairly rested... the Serbian will go all out in London for that precious treasure.

4. Which players from the struggling top-10 will stand out?

Auger-Aliassime, De Miñaur, Shelton, Medvedev, or Fritz are examples of players residing in the top-10 who come from a rough patch, struggling on clay. The scope can be broadened to include Bublik and Lehecka, serious contenders for important feats in this swing. They will all seek good results to overshadow their erratic streaks in recent months.

5. Will youngsters like Rafa Jódar, Joao Fonseca, or Jakub Mensik be prominent figures on the tour?

The Spaniard is a big question mark on a surface where he has never competed professionally, while Mensik did not impress last year but has all it takes to perform well. Besides the interest in Joao Fonseca and his upward trend, expectations also revolve around other young players such as Tien or Landaluce.

6. Will Aryna Sabalenka shake off her rough patch and conquer Wimbledon?

The Belarusian seems to have lost something in recent months. Call it joy, competitive spirit, or mental freshness. Her clay-court swing was poor, and now she arrives at a surface that is not her favorite. She has never been able to surpass the semifinals at Wimbledon, but achieving that will be her top priority.

7. Will Mirra Andreeva avoid the aftermath of success?

It would not be surprising if the youth of the Russian champion becomes evident in this swing, losing some spark and facing difficulties in maintaining competitive intensity on a challenging surface for her. If she manages to overcome this, it will confirm that we are facing a player ready not only to contend for major titles but to do so regularly and consistently.

8. Will we see Rybakina challenging Sabalenka's number 1 position?

Less than 1,000 points separate Rybakina from Sabalenka in the WTA rankings, the narrowest gap remembered in a long time. Considering the Kazakh excels on this surface and only defends the third-round finish at Wimbledon from the past year, it is not unreasonable to think about a shift at the top of the leaderboard.

9. Will Iga Swiatek translate her technical-tactical changes into results?

Swiatek’s title at Wimbledon last year was a relief for a trajectory that appeared to be declining. A bright spot in the darkness that alleviated the crisis feeling and postponed structural decisions like the ones recently made. The Pole disappointed at Roland Garros and is aware of the significant responsibility she carries in this swing, where she will try to make the adjustments in her game by Francis Roig effective.

10. Which players can elevate their game on grass the most?

Numerous names come to mind for all fans as potential stars during these months. Pegula and Anisimova stand out, having shown promising performances on grass in the past, but also Muchova and Bencic, along with a resurging Paolini. There will be great interest to see if Chwalinska can continue her tale of overcoming challenges and also shine on grass.
