Best Wimbledon merchandise and tennis gifts to buy for 2023 tournament

At this year’s tournament, reigning champion Novak Djokovic will be seeking his eighth Wimbledon title and carrying on down the path to a calendar Grand Slam. But he’ll face competition from Carlos Alcaraz, who won the US Open last year and currently sits above him at world number one.

Meanwhile, Elena Rybakina will want to defend her title from last year, but is likely to see a grisly battle against Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka.

Plus, let’s not forget, the likes of Andy Murray and Cameron Norrie will be stepping onto the court to represent the UK. It’s going to be a tough contest, but one we simply cannot wait for.
