Q What makes Wimbledon so special for you?

A As a competition, it's interesting because grass is such a specialised surface.

You can have players who do really well on other surfaces, but not so much on grass.

Q Who do you see doing well in the competition?

A Seven-time champ Novak Djokovic is racing to be fit after knee surgery, so Carlos Alcaraz, who won the men's title last year, might be the favourite. In the women's draw, Poland's Iga Świątek is world No.1 and dominant on other surfaces, but she's never come to terms with grass, so Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka might fancy their chances.
