The 2025 Wimbledon tournament is right around the corner, as the stars of the WTA Tour prepare to do battle on the grass.

In 2024, Barbora Krejcikova won her first Wimbledon title, defeating Italy’s Jasmine Paolini in the final, 6-2, 2-6, 6-4.

However, one year on, it’s hard to imagine Krejcikova defending her crown, considering she’s won just seven singles matches since.

Krejcikova’s withdrawal from Eastbourne ahead of her quarterfinal match heightened concerns as she struggled with soreness in her thigh.

With many people counting out the two-time Slam winner, several other WTA stars could be in with a chance of winning the title.

Predicting the women’s winner, John Isner, Sam Querrey, and Steve Johnson named three different players whom they think will lift the Venus Rosewater Dish on Saturday, July 12.

During the latest episode of the Nothing Major podcast, Isner, Querrey, and Johnson made their Wimbledon predictions.

“For the women, I’m going [Marketa] Vondrousova,” said Querrey.

Vondrousova, a Wimbledon champion two years ago, had struggled with various injuries over the last 12 months, but rediscovered her best tennis in Berlin last week.

Defeating world number one, Aryna Sabalenka en route to the title, Vondrousova reminded fans that she is one of the best grass-court players around.

• 2025 Berlin Open F – Marketa Vondrousova beat Wang Xinyu, 7-6, 4-6, 6-2
• 2025 Berlin Open SF – Marketa Vondrousova beat Aryna Sabalenka, 6-2, 6-4
• 2025 Berlin Open QF – Marketa Vondrousova beat Ons Jabeur, 6-4, 6-1
• 2025 Berlin Open 2R – Marketa Vondrousova beat Diana Shnaider, 6-3, 6-7, 6-3
• 2025 Berlin Open 1R – Marketa Vondrousova beat Madison Keys, 7-5, 7-6

After Querrey picked the 2023 champion to add to her Wimbledon tally, Isner backed the 2022 champion.

“I’m going with [Elena] Rybakina,” he said.

The only one to pick a new Wimbledon winner, Johnson went with Sabalenka, a finalist at both the Australian Open and French Open in 2025.

“I’m going to take [Aryna] Sabalenka on the women’s side after a tough French Open final loss, she’s coming back, guns blazing,” he said.

“She’s taking this title easy, I think she’s going to roll through the draw.”

Aryna Sabalenka, Marketa Vondrousova, and Elena Rybakina’s Wimbledon records

The three players mentioned by Isner, Querrey, and Johnson will all have dreams of lifting the Venus Rosewater Dish, but who has performed the best at SW19 during their careers so far?

Of the three, it’s Rybakina who has enjoyed the most success at Wimbledon, winning 86% of her matches.

The Kazakh star has yet to lose a match before the fourth round at the All England Club, as she continues to reach the latter stages of the sole grass-court major.

• 2024 Wimbledon – Elena Rybakina lost in SF to Barbora Krejcikova
• 2023 Wimbledon – Elena Rybakina lost in QF to Ons Jabeur
• 2022 Wimbledon – Elena Rybakina won
• 2021 Wimbledon – Elena Rybakina lost in 4R to Aryna Sabalenka

With such a strong record at the event, it’s no surprise Isner thinks she has what it takes to win a second Wimbledon title in 2025.

Sabalenka has been no slouch at Wimbledon either, and after a slow start on the grass, she qualified for the semi-finals on her two previous visits to the tournament.

Entering Wimbledon as the number one seed for the first time in her career, the Belarusian will no doubt be highly motivated to win the title, having already lost two Grand Slam finals in 2025.

Several other big names could cause problems on the grass, none bigger than Coco Gauff, who defeated Sabalenka to win her second major title at Roland Garros.

The American lost out in the fourth round to her countrywoman Emma Navarro in 2024, but will certainly be one to look out for this time around.

Gauff will begin her campaign against Dayana Yastremska, while Sabalenka plays Carson Branstine, Rybakina plays Elina Avanesyan, and Vondrousova plays McCartney Kessler when the tournament begins on Monday, June 30.
