Wimbledon 2024: Gauff, Jabeur, Swiatek, Raducanu and Sabalenka – five women to watch at SW19
Sabalenka proved in January that she was no ‘one-Slam wonder’.
A second straight Australian Open title, won without dropping a set, showed she had stamped out the inconsistencies that hampered her early career.
She has come within touching distance of a Wimbledon final in her last two appearances, but let slip a one-set lead against Karolina Pliskova and Jabeur in 2021 and 2023 respectively.
Nicknamed ‘The Tiger’ because of a tattoo on her left forearm, Sabalenka’s big-hitting game is well suited to grass courts. However, there are question marks over her fitness – she retired injured for the first time in her career at the Berlin Open earlier this month with a shoulder issue.
However, Broady thinks Sabalenka is “due her Wimbledon title”.
“Sabalenka on her form and the way she steps up to the big moments, her mental toughness – I think it might be Aryna’s time,” Broady said.
