WORLD NO.1 – TOP SPOT ON THE LINE AT WIMBLEDON During the Wimbledon fortnight, Ashleigh Barty will spend her 82nd and 83rd weeks at the top of the WTA rankings. Barty, who claimed the No.1 spot on June 24, 2019, is only the second Australian to achieve the historic milestone, following in the footsteps of Evonne Goolagong Cawley. Aryna Sabalenka can potentially challenge for the top spot at Wimbledon, although to do so she would need to win the title with Barty falling before the semifinals.

STRONG OFF THE BLOCKS – FIRST-ROUND SUCCESS

Of those players with 10 or more Grand Slam appearances in this year’s Wimbledon draw, here are the players with the best strike rate in the opening round at a Grand Slam:

• Madison Keys (29-4 in 1r): Keys had gone 21 majors in a row without suffering a first-round exit before her run was ended at last year’s Roland Garros (l. S.Zhang). Her other three losses at this stage came in her teenage years, at 2012 Australian Open (l. J.Zheng), 2013 US Open (l. Jankovic) and 2014 Roland Garros (l. Errani)

• Venus Williams (73-16 in 1r): Venus has lost in the opening round of a Grand Slam 16 times in her career, including three times at Wimbledon, in 1997 (l. Grzybowska), 2012 Wimbledon (l. Vesnina), and 2019 Wimbledon (l. Gauff)

• Garbiñe Muguruza (27-6 in 1r): Muguruza fell 1r most recently at this year’s Roland Garros (l. Kostyuk). Her other five defeats at this stage came on her Grand Slam debut at 2012 US Open (l. J. Errani), 2014 Wimbledon (l. Vandeweghe), 2014 US Open (l. Lucic-Baroni), 2019 Wimbledon (l. Haddad Maia) and 2019 US Open (l. Riske)
