Get ready for an American invasion on the grass courts of London! When Wimbledon kicks off this Monday, 35 American players — 19 women and 16 men — will take the stage in the singles main draw, marking the largest U.S. singles presence at The Championships since 1999.
This milestone is the latest in a series of strong performances by American players:
- At Roland Garros, eight Americans reached the Round of 16, the most in four decades. Coco Gauff made history by becoming the youngest American to win the French Open since Serena Williams in 2002.
- On the men’s side, Ben Shelton joined Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul in the ATP Top 10 after Roland Garros, making it the first time since 2006 that three American men have ranked so high.
- Meanwhile, American women continue to dominate the WTA. Four U.S. women remain in the Top 10 (Coco Gauff, Jessica Pegula, Madison Keys, Emma Navarro), a status first reached last fall after a 20-year drought. As recently as May, three of them were in the Top 5 — a feat not seen since 2003.
With numbers like these, American tennis is riding a serious wave of momentum heading into Wimbledon 2025. The U.S. contingent will be one to watch on the grass courts of SW19 as the action begins on Monday.
