World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka faces a challenging route at Wimbledon 2026. The draw places potential quarterfinal opponent Mirra Andreeva and semifinal matchup against Coco Gauff in her way.
The Wimbledon draw has placed Sabalenka, who holds a 33-5 record this season, on a difficult path. She opens against qualifier Teodora Kostovic and could meet McCartney Kessler in the second round.
Potential third-round opponent Emma Radacanu and fourth-round clash with Naomi Osaka add early tests. Andreeva, the Roland Garros champion, looms in the quarterfinals if the bracket holds.
Coco Gauff is projected for the semifinals, where Sabalenka leads their head-to-head 7-6. A final could pit her against either Elena Rybakina or defending champion Iga Swiatek.
Sabalenka has never reached a Wimbledon final. The draw comes after she became the first No. 1 to lose consecutive deciding sets 6-0.
