Wimbledon predictions, players to watch
Coco Gauff proved in 2019 that upset is always possible at Wimbledon, defeating her idol Venus Williams at just 15 years old, and this year's competitors could show more of the same energy.
If the French Open last month was any indication, with both singles events boasting a final between the No. 1 and 2 seeds, ESPN predicts a similar stage could be set in London.
"Novak Djokovic is vying to add to his seven Wimbledon crowns, while Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz will also be looking to upset the order win their first Grand Slam title," ESPN reports.
