Hold onto your tennis rackets and get ready for some grass court action, because the 2023 Wimbledon tournament is coming up, folks. And we have good news: using a magical modern invention called streaming, you don’t even have to fly to London to watch it.
In the women’s draw, all eyes will be on the legendary Serena Williams as she looks to break Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam titles. She’s already a seven-time Wimbledon champion, but can she add one more to her collection and break that record? And if she does, will she celebrate with another iconic dance? And let’s not forget about the young phenom Coco Gauff, who at just 19 years old has already made a name for herself on the grass courts. If she keeps this up, she might just be the one to beat.
As for the men’s draw, Novak Djokovic is the man to watch. He’s won the last three Wimbledon titles in a row, so he’s clearly pretty good, maybe even better than some of the staff at Flicks. But if anyone can stop him, it might just be the up-and-coming players like Stefanos Tsitsipas or Daniil Medvedev.
Of course, Wimbledon isn’t just about the tennis. It’s also about the fashion. Classic examples of Wimbledon fashion include when Andre Agassi showing up in denim shorts in 1988, and Bethanie Mattek-Sands rocking a dress covered in tennis balls in 2011.
