Wimbledon 2025: The Underdogs Poised to Steal the Spotlight
June 26, 2025: The iconic grass courts are prepped, strawberries and cream await, and tennis returns to its most elegant stage—Wimbledon 2025 (30 June – 13 July). As 128 players in each singles draw dream of Centre Court glory, a handful of dark horses are ready to shake up the status quo.
Ranked world No. 4, Jack Draper enters his home Slam with momentum after a breakthrough season that includes a Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells and a semi-final at Queen’s. Despite never making it past round two at Wimbledon, the 23-year-old now holds the fourth seed—shielded from Sinner, Alcaraz, and Zverev until the semis. Can he turn pressure into a dream run?
Wimbledon 2023 champion Markéta Vondroušová returns as an unseeded wildcard. After a tough injury spell and a historic first-round exit last year, the Czech left-hander roared back by winning Berlin—defeating world No. 1 Sabalenka as the world No. 164. Now ranked 73rd, her grass-court prowess and fearless mindset make her a dangerous floater.
From contemplating retirement in 2024 to a French Open quarter-finalist in 2025, Alexander Bublik is back—and thriving. The charismatic Kazakh, now a Halle champion again after toppling Medvedev, brings flair and unpredictability that can upset even the most solid seeds. Currently 28 and seeded again, Bublik is a wildcard threat on grass.
A year ago, Amanda Anisimova was ranked 189th. Today, she’s No. 13, fresh off a WTA 1000 title in Doha and a Queen’s final appearance. With big wins over Zheng Qinwen, Bianca Andreescu, and Emma Navarro, the 23-year-old American is peaking at the perfect time. Can she go further than her 2022 Wimbledon quarter-final?
Wimbledon 2025 might belong to the favourites, but these underdogs have the grit, form, and stories that could redefine this year’s narrative. Let the fairytales begin.
