Wimbledon 2026 is just around the corner, and many names are already positioning themselves in the race for the title. Jannik Sinner will start as the top favorite, eager to avenge what happened at Roland Garros; Novak Djokovic will continue the hunt for his 25th Grand Slam in one of his sacred territories; Alexander Zverev will want to push his limits with the confidence gained from his victory in Paris... but candidates are as crucial as the absences, and the list for the third Grand Slam of the year is extensive and painful.
The biggest name we will all miss undoubtedly is Carlos Alcaraz. The Murcian's recovery is progressing smoothly, with intense physical training sessions, left-handed hitting, bandages dwindling day by day, and hopes for his wrist to respond well upon his return to training. All of this, of course, meant missing Wimbledon, an absence he confirmed well in advance, denying us the opportunity to get excited about his return to the place where he has already triumphed twice.

Absences in the WTA: two young players in need of rest
The women's circuit does not have such a detailed list of absences among its elite as the men's, but it does witness two significant absences, especially due to the potential they had in a tournament like this. Hailey Baptiste was the most heartbreaking news from Paris: her anterior cruciate ligament tear during a match shattered her aspirations for greatness in 2026. Following her great performance in Madrid, and considering her ability to change the pace, vary the game, and break with drop shots and slices, she would have become a significant threat for Wimbledon, which will not materialize.
Nor will a player who made headlines in recent days. Despite being Serena Williams' dancing partner in her return to competition, the Queen's tournament will hold negative memories for Victoria Mboko: an untimely slip in singles led to her withdrawal from the tournament... and also from Wimbledon, where problems in her left knee will prevent her from competing at the Tennis Cathedral. Alongside her, familiar faces on the circuit like Sonay Kartal or Victoria Kudermetova will also not be part of a dance that already has too many absences.
