The 138th edition of The Championships will officially begin on Monday, 30 June, featuring the world’s best players battling it out on the famed grass courts of London.
And just one week from the event, the latest rankings have sealed the women’s seeding positions for the WTA Tour’s biggest icons.
Women’s Seeding at Wimbledon 2025 and the Top 8
Roland Garros finalists Aryna Sabalenka and Coco Gauff are the top two seeds in the women’s singles draw at Wimbledon 2025. Both come in as strong title favorites given their current run of form. Gauff and followed by Jessica Pegula and last year’s runner-up Jasmine Paolini, who are seeded third and fourth, respectively.

Next in the seedings are Zheng Qinwen (5th), Australian Open champion Madison Keys (6th), Mirra Andreeva (7th), and five-time Grand Slam champion Iga Świątek (8th). All four are formidable opponents and have a good chance of making it deep at Wimbledon if they are at their best
While Gauff and Sabalenka are arguably the heaviest on-paper favorites to win Wimbledon, the gap between the top eight seeds is not as wide as it may seem, as all are capable of giving the other a run for their money.
Here is a look at the top 8 seeds in the women’s singles event at Wimbledon 2025:
- Aryna Sabalenka
- Coco Gauff
- Jessica Pegula
- Jasmine Paolini
- Zheng Qinwen
- Madison Keys
- Mirra Andreeva
- Iga Świątek
The No. 9 to No. 16 seed range features several high-profile names who could pose serious threats to the top contenders as early as the fourth round. Among them are Paula Badosa (10th), Elena Rybakina (11th), and Karolina Muchová (15th).
Of particular interest is Elena Rybakina, the former Wimbledon winner, who remains one of the most formidable players on grass. Despite being seeded outside the top 8, she’s more than capable of making a deep run. However, her path to the title could be challenging, as she may face a top-8 seed as early as the Round of 16. The full list is as follows:
9. Emma Navarro
10. Paula Badosa
11. Elena Rybakina
12. Diana Shnaider
13. Amanda Anisimova
14. Elina Svitolina
15. Karolina Muchova
16. Daria Kasatkina
Players seeded No. 17 to No. 32 will benefit from protection in the first two rounds, meaning they won’t face any higher-ranked opponents early on. However, the third round is where the challenge begins. They could be drawn against any of the tournament’s top seeds, making a favorable path far from guaranteed.
This group includes several well-known and battle-tested players. Among them is defending Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova, who just missed out on a top-16 seed. While she hasn’t had much match play lately, her experience and past success at SW19 make her a dangerous floater in the draw.
A third-round clash against any top-10 opponent could be on the cards for the Czech star. Other notable names in this seeding bracket include Jelena Ostapenko (No. 20), Donna Vekić (No. 22) (the 2024 Wimbledon semifinalist), and Sofia Kenin (No. 28) (former Australian Open champion).
17. Barbora Krejcikova
18. Ekaterina Alexandrova
19. Ludmilla Samsonova
20. Jelena Ostapenko
21. Beatriz Haddad Maia
22. Donna Vekic
23. Clara Tauson
24. Elise Mertens
25. Magdalena Frech
26. Marta Kostyuk
27. Magda Linette
28. Sofia Kenin
29. Leylah Fernandez
30. Linda Noskova
31. Ashlyn Krueger
32. McCartney Kessler
