The past seven Wimbledons, remarkably, have produced seven first-time champions. That trend is set to continue at this year’s tournament, with one of Aryna Sabalenka, Amanda Anisimova, Iga Świątek or Belinda Bencic lifting the trophy on Saturday.

That was perhaps inevitable when the early rounds yielded multiple upsets, opening the door for players further down the rankings. Five-time major winner Świątek is the most decorated, though she has traditionally struggled on grass, only once making it beyond the fourth…
