Top Four Women’s Seeds at Wimbledon 2024
Read on for a closer look at each of the top four seeds in the women’s draw at Wimbledon 2024.
1. Iga Swiatek
World No. 1 Iga Swiatek holds the top seed at Wimbledon. However, the Pole has a poor record at SW19, having only ever made one quarter-final here.
This year, she’ll be hard pressed to improve on that record, given that Swiatek has not played a single match on grass ahead of Wimbledon. She had a big clay season, winning the final three events of the swing in Madrid, Rome and Paris, and opted to take time off rather than tune her game to the grass.
If she’s to win her first Wimbledon, this is what Swiatek’s likely path looks like:
- R1 – Sofia Kenin
- R2 – Francesca Jones / Petra Martic
- R3 – Katerina Siniakova / Yulia Putintseva
- R4 – Jelena Ostapenko / Caroline Garcia
- Quarter-final – Marketa Vondrousova / Danielle Collins
- Semi-final – Elena Rybakina / Jessica Pegula
- Final – Coco Gauff / Aryna Sabalenka
2. Coco Gauff
America’s Coco Gauff is No. 2 seed at a Grand Slam for the first time in her career, having ascended to a career-high rank following the French Open.
However, she too has a poor record on grass. In four attempts, Gauff has not passed the Round of 16 at Wimbledon. Last year, she crashed out in the first round. The 20-year-old played one event on grass in the lead-in to Wimbledon, making the semi-finals of Berlin before losing to doubles partner Jessica Pegula.
If Gauff is win the title, here’s is what her path looks like:
- R1 – Caroline Dolehide
- R2 – Olga Danilovic
- R3 – Sorana Cristea
- R4 – Victoria Azarenka / Emma Navarro / Naomi Osaka
- Quarter-final – Jasmine Paolini / Madison Keys
- Semi-final – Aryna Sabalenka / Qinwen Zhang
- Final – Iga Swiatek / Elena Rybakina
3. Aryna Sabalenka
No. 3 seed Aryna Sablenka has also had a quiet run in to Wimbledon, playing just the one event. In Berlin, she won one and lost one, making the quarter-finals.
Ahead of the grass season, Sabalenka was in good nick on clay. The Belarusian made back-to-back finals in Madrid and Rome, stopped by only Swiatek’s dominance. She then reached the quarter-finals of Roland-Garros before falling to teen Mirra Andreeva.
Sabalenka is a bit of a mixed bag on grass. Her overall win percentage is down compared to hard and clay, but she’s managed to make the semi-finals in London the last two times she’s played.
If she’s to go all the way this year, this is what Sabalenka’s path could be:
- R1 – Emina Bektas
- R2 – Donna Vekic
- R3 – Daria Yastremska
- R4 – Daria Kasatkina / Mirra Andreeva
- Quarter-final – Qinwen Zhang / Maria Sakkari
- Semi-final – Coco Gauff / Jasmine Paolini
- Final – Iga Swiatek / Elena Rybakina
4. Elena Rybakina
Sitting in the fourth seed is 2022 winner Elena Rybakina. The Kazakh is by far the strongest grass player of the top four seeds, with a 16-3 record at Wimbledon and 72.7 percent win rate overall on the surface.
She’s taken it easy heading into the year’s third Grand Slam, playing just the one event and making the quarter-finals.
If she’s to win a second title in London, this is what Rybakina’s path looks like:
- R1 – Elena-Gabriela Ruse
- R2 – Lara Siegemund
- R3 – Leylah Fernandez
- R4 – Liudmila Samsonova
- Quarter-final – Jessica Pegula / Ons Jabeur
- Semi-final – Iga Swiatek / Marketa Vondrousova
- Final – Aryna Sabalenka / Coco Gauff
