Who are the favorites?

On the men's side, Novak Djokovic is the clear favorite at the start. After Rafael Nadal's cancellation, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Daniil Medvedev, Roger Federer, Alexander Zverev and Matteo Berrettini are likely to be the biggest challengers for the world number one, who is aiming for his third Grand Slam title of the year in south-west London. Andrey Rublev and Marin Cilic have outsider opportunities.

It is difficult to find a favorite among the women. Should they be one hundred percent fit, Ashleigh Barty and Simona Halep must be named as two of the hottest contenders for the title. Whether Serena Williams can achieve the long-awaited 24th Grand Slam triumph on Church Road seems questionable. Another success of an unset player seems anything but unthinkable.

Who is broadcasting on TV and livestream?

As in previous years, Sky will broadcast the most prestigious tournament of the year live and exclusively on TV and stream (Sky Go & Sky Ticket) from June 28 to July 11 in 2021. The broadcast begins on the first few days at 11:45 a.m., the matches start at 12:30 p.m. Sky broadcasts a total of around 350 hours live from Wimbledon on five channels. As usual, there is the Wimbledon conference on Sky Sport 1: Here the fans are provided with live matches, highlights, analyzes and interviews in parallel.

The top games, especially by Dominic Thiem and Alexander Zverev, can also be followed in the tennisnet live ticker.
