Coco Gauff gained glory in Paris and will confront the gory in London.
The second-seeded Gauff faces a brutal Wimbledon path in a loaded bottom quarter of the draw.
See the Wimbledon Ladies’ Main Draw Here.
Main draws for the 2025 Championships were conducted today.
Reigning Roland Garros champion Gauff opens against hard-hitting Dayana Yastremska with a possible third-round clash vs. former Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, who knocked her out of the 2023 Wimbledon.
No. 19-seeded Liudmila Samsonova, a two-time grass-court champion, could face Gauff in the round of 16 with either former world No. 1 Iga Swiatek or 2022 Wimbledon champion Elena Rybakina looming as a possible quarterfinal opponent.
Meanwhile, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka could face challengers of her own in her SW19 return.
The top-seeded Sabalenka, who faces Canadian qualifier Carson Branstine in the first round, could meet 2024 Wimbledon Cinderella quarterfinalist Lulu Sun in the second round with a possible third-round clash vs. the 2023 Wimbledon champion Marketa Vondrousova in the third round.
The left-handed Vondrousova swept Sabalenka, 6-2, 6-4 on Berlin’s grass last week to win her first Tour-level title since her inspired Wimbledon title run.
Should seeds hold true to form, Sabalenka would face sixth-seeded Madison Keys in the quarterfinals six months after the hard-hitting American stunned her in the Australian Open final.
