Wimbledon Women’s Seedings: Swiatek, Sabalenka, Rybakina Lead Field

Will there be a new Wimbledon champion for a sixth straight year? There is a good chance of that happening unless Elena Rybakina can shake off a virus and defending her title, something that hasn’t been done since 2016.

Former junior Wimbledon champion Iga Swiatek goes in as the top seed and then it’s Aryna Sabalenka who returns after missing last year due to the ban.

Rybakina is next followed by the steady Jessica Pegula, Carlos Garcia, 2022 finalist Ons Jabeur, 19-year-old Coco Gauff and Maria Sakkari.

Two-time champion Petra Kvitova is seeded No. 9 but following her Berlin win is among the top picks.

Five-time winner Venus Williams also returns at age 43.

The women’s draw will be out by 11am on Friday at Wimbledon. The event begins on Monday with Rybakina playing on Tuesday.
