Tim Henman, a former British No. 1 and world No. 4, has a lot of roles during Wimbledon. He is on the All England Club’s board, where he helps manage the tournament and deals with any issues. He is also a BBC pundit, providing commentary and analysis for viewers. When it comes to predictions, Henman believes that defending champion Carlos Alcaraz has what it takes to win again. Alcaraz’s skills and athleticism make him a formidable opponent on any surface, and Henman wouldn’t be surprised if he defends his title.
While Alcaraz lost his last warm-up match, Henman still has faith in his abilities. On the women’s side, Henman predicts a first-time Wimbledon winner, with Aryna Sabalenka and Naomi Osaka as his top picks. Sabalenka’s aggressive playing style and confidence make her a tough competitor to beat. Osaka, despite her strong performance on clay, is seen as a dangerous floater on grass courts.
Sabalenka, however, has been dealing with a shoulder injury, which may impact her performance. Meanwhile, Iga Swiatek, the current world No. 1, is focused on improving her game on grass courts. Henman believes that British players like Katie Boulter and Emma Raducanu have the potential to make it to the second week of the tournament. The success of British players at Wimbledon always adds excitement to the event, and Henman is hopeful for more British success this year.
