Taking a look at all of the ways that you can watch Wimbledon 2017 from the first round through the final on TV, online and more.
There’s undoubtedly an air of unpredictability coming into Wimbledon 2017. Sure, there are the favorites in the tennis world to win. However, there are enough mitigating circumstances to make the tournament feel wide-open. The result in the end should be a phenomenal run to see who’s the second grand slam winners of the year.
Roger Federer, ever-dominant on grass and in this championship, is the favorite on the men’s side of things. However, at 36 years old, it’s hard to think that he’s a certainty to win. His old rival, Rafael Nadal will be in the mix as well, but so too will the No. 1 and 2 ranked players in the world, Novak Djokovic and Andy Murray.
For the women, obviously the big absence is that of Serena Williams, who is pregnant currently and unable to play. That certainly opens the door for players like Jelena Ostapenko or Petra Kvitova to come in and pick up a big victory.
