World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, as expected, is the top seed in the women's draw at Wimbledon. Her rival, Iga Swiatek of Poland, is the eighth seed, an uncharacteristic spot for the five-time Grand Slam champion. Swiatek, 24, is in a season-long slump that has seen her fall to No. 8 in the world rankings. She stood No. 1 in the world for 125 of the 133 weeks between April 4, 2022, and Oct. 20, 2024, when she was overtaken by Sabalenka. Swiatek had a season record of 32-10 through the French Open. She failed to qualify for the finals in Paris, where she is a four-time champion, falling to Sabalenka in the semifinals. In fact, Swiatek has not played in a tournament final in 2025. She has 22 career singles titles. Swiatek is set to face Paolini on Friday in the semifinal of the Bad Homburg Open in Germany, the final grass-court Wimbledon tuneup. Back at Wimbledon, seeded after Sabalenka are a pair of Americans -- No. 2 Coco Gauff and No. 3 Jessica Pegula -- followed by Italy's Jasmine Paolini, Qinwen Zheng of China, Madison Keys, Mirra Andreeva of Russia, Swiatek, Paula Badosa of Spain and Emma Navarro. None of the women in the Top 10 seeds have won a Wimbledon championship. The inclusion of Keys and Navarro makes four American women in the group. Play at Wimbledon opens Monday. The draw will be issued Friday. --Field Level Media
