American women take spotlight at Wimbledon this year
Wimbledon opens with American women in peak form led by Venus and Serena Williams and Jennifer Capriati Amanda Davenport. The rise follows eight straight major titles by U S women with Davenport sidelined by knee injury while the ATP and WTA push for more combined events to boost global appeal. Top American men lag behind, with Hewitt and Safin as favorites, leaving the women as the sport’s main narrative.
