By: FPJ Web Desk | July 02, 2023

With Roger Federer retired and Rafa Nadal dealing with the toll of his long career, Novak Djokovic stands alone as the remaining member of the 'Big Three', preventing the rise of a new generation of players. With seven Wimbledon titles under his belt, Djokovic aims to surpass Federer's record of eight victories at the prestigious All England Club.

Carlos Alcaraz's limited grasscourt experience didn't hinder his adaptation from the red soil. At Queen's Club, he cautiously adjusted but quickly dominated, winning the tournament and becoming world number one. His formidable net game proved his potential on this surface.

Frances Tiafoe's ascent in the rankings reached its peak as he entered the top 10 after clinching his inaugural grasscourt championship at the Stuttgart Open. The 25-year-old American, along with fellow rising star Taylor Fritz, offers a ray of hope for the nation, as they aim to break the 20-year drought of producing a men's Grand Slam champion since Andy Roddick.

Despite winning a title in Rome, Medvedev was relieved when the claycourt season ended as he struggled on the slow surface. Last year, despite being ranked world number two, he couldn't play at Wimbledon due to the ban on Russian and Belarusian players. In Halle, he became the first player to achieve 40 tour-level wins this year, sending a strong message to his competitors.

with Andy Murray unseeded at Wimbledon, Britain's top-ranked player, Cameron Norrie, carries the local hopes. Norrie showcased his skills in the quarter-finals at Queen's. He reached the Wimbledon semi-finals, lasy year, becoming the fourth Briton in the Open era to achieve this feat.
