Muchova Eyes Wimbledon Revival
Karolina Muchova comes into Wimbledon on the back of her title-winning campaign in Bad Homburg last week, where she claimed her third WTA title and the first grass-court title of her career. Before that run, she had never progressed beyond the quarterfinals on grass.
The title is a major confidence boost heading into Wimbledon. Muchova had already enjoyed an impressive season, winning the biggest title of her career in Doha while also reaching the finals in Stuttgart and the semifinals in Brisbane and Miami.
This will be Muchova's seventh main-draw appearance at Wimbledon. She reached the quarterfinals in her first two appearances before suffering four consecutive first-round exits. She is now looking for her first win at the All England Club since 2021.

Anastasia Zakharova Targets First-Round Success
Anastasia Zakharova began her grass-court swing with a qualifying defeat in Nottingham but bounced back by coming through qualifying and reaching the second round in Eastbourne last week, giving her a timely confidence boost ahead of Wimbledon.
The Russian reached a career-high ranking of No. 66 a few months ago after strong results, including the third round in Miami, second-round appearances in Dubai and Indian Wells, and a quarterfinal run at the WTA 125 event in Austin. Since then, however, her form has dipped, with six of her last eight tournaments ending in either the first round or the qualifying stages.
This will be Zakharova's sixth Grand Slam main-draw appearance. She holds a 3-2 record in first-round matches, with both defeats coming at this year's Australian Open and Roland Garros.
