As the sport’s attention shifts to the grass of Wimbledon, where play begins Monday, July 1, Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff are the players whose names are on everyone’s lips.
WIMBLEDON — There is a real shift happening at the top of tennis, a youth movement that long seemed inevitable but never actually arrived until now.
That time, it seems, is now — and Alcaraz and Sinner are beginning to separate themselves from the rest. But Federer, now 42, played the last match of his 20-Slam-trophy career in 2021. Nadal, 38, lost in the first round at the French Open — where he claimed 14 of his 22 major championships — and then opted to miss Wimbledon so he could focus on preparing for the Paris Olympics that start in late July; he has dealt with a string of injuries that included a hip operation last year.
