First Quarter

Jannik Sinner will headline the first quarter. The Wimbledon Championships is his fourth tournament since his comeback from a three-month suspension. The Italian has reached two of his previous tournament finals.

Other seeded players in the quarter are: Lorenzo Musetti, Grigor Dimitrov, Tommy Paul, Denis Shapovalov, Ben Shelton, Ugo Humbert, and Brandon Nakashima. Sinner will open his account against fellow Italian Luca Nardi in the first round. However, Musetti, who is expected to face Shelton in the round of 16, is Sinner’s only major rival in the quarter and they are projected to face each other in the quarter-finals.

Quarter-finals prediction: Jannik Sinner vs. Lorenzo Musetti

Second Quarter

This quarter is headed by Jack Draper and Novak Djokovic. The former is seeking to get beyond the second round of the competition for the first time in his career, while the latter will be aiming to win the title for the eighth time and also increase his Grand Slam tally to 25.

Draper is projected to face former finalist Marin Cilic in the second round and in the third round, Alexander Bublik, the man who knocked him out of the French Open and recently won the Terra Wortmann Open. Apart from these players, the quarter has several seeded players, including Alex de Minaur, Jakub Mensik, Alex Michelsen, Tomas Machac, and Flavio Cobolli.

Quarter-finals prediction: Jack Draper vs. Novak Djokovic

Third Quarter

Taylor Fritz and Alexander Zverev are projected to meet again in the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon Championship. The pair met at the same stage of the tournament last year and it ended in the favor of Fritz, who came from two sets down to defeat the German star.

However, before Zverev reached the quarter-finals, he could face Francisco Cerundolo in the round of 16. The World No.3 has lost all three of his previous meetings against the Argentine star. Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Alexei Popyrin, Daniil Medvedev, Karen Khachanov, and Matteo Berrettini are the remaining seeded players in the quarter.

Quarter-finals prediction: Taylor Fritz vs. Alexander Zverev

Fourth Quarter

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz leads this quarter as the highest-ranked player, but he could face World No.8 Holger Rune in the quarter-finals of the tournament. The Spaniard could face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round before a potential clash against Stefanos Tsitsipas or Andrey Rublev.

Meanwhile, Alcaraz is seeking to win the Wimbledon Championship for the third consecutive time in his career. Tallon Griekspoor, Frances Tiafoe, and Jiri Lehecka are the remaining seeded players in the quarter.

Quarter-finals prediction: Holger Rune vs. Carlos Alcaraz

Semi-finals

Sinner is the favorite to reach the semi-finals even though he will face a tough test against Musetti, who has been in form since the start of the grass-court season. In the second quarter, Djokovic is expected to prevail over Draper as the Serbian legend always tends to be impressive on grass.

And, Fritz is expected to beat Zverev again like he did last year. The American star has often had the better of the German star on tour. Also, Alcaraz is expected to knock out Rune.

Semi-finals Prediction:

• Jannik Sinner vs. Novak Djokovic
• Taylor Fritz vs. Carlos Alcaraz

Final

This is the second time Sinner and Alcaraz are the first and second seeds in a Grand Slam tournament. Sinner and Alcaraz could set up another blockbuster clash, and if this happens, then the Spaniard will once again be the favorite to win.

They faced each other at this stage in the French Open final, with Alcaraz winning in five sets. He leads their head-to-head record 8-4 and has won all their last five meetings on tour.

Final prediction: Jannik Sinner vs. Carlos Alcaraz

Winner prediction: Carlos Alcaraz
