- Jannik Sinner now enters Wimbledon as the overwhelming favorite to defend his 2025 title, while Novak Djokovic continues pursuit of a record 25th major amid the shifted competitive landscape.
- Alcaraz confirmed on Instagram that recovery is progressing but he remains unable to compete, stating: "We'll keep working to come back as soon as possible." Timeline for return remains unconfirmed.
