Wimbledon 2025 is bringing a fresh wave of youth and talent to the grass courts of London. The world’s most prestigious tennis tournament is now showcasing young female stars who are ready to shake the world stage. These rising champions are not just filling spots—they’re making history.
1. Iva Jovic – 17 Years and 6 Months
American sensation Iva Jovic is the youngest woman in this year’s Wimbledon main draw. At just 17 years and six months, she’s already appeared in four Grand Slam main draws. However, Wimbledon marks her debut on grass at this level. Jovic powered through the qualifiers to secure her place, showing grit and determination. Her youthful energy and aggressive baseline play make her a serious threat to seasoned players.
2. Mingge Xu – 17 Years and 8 Months
British wildcard Mingge Xu will make her Grand Slam debut on Centre Court, facing 2021 US Open champion Emma Raducanu. Ranked No. 318, Xu earned her spot through strong performances on home soil. She claimed her first ITF title in Aldershot and made waves at the Nottingham Open by defeating world No. 96 Katie Volynets. Despite her low ranking, Xu is fearless and has nothing to lose—often a dangerous combination.
3. Mirra Andreeva – 18 Years and 2 Months
Mirra Andreeva is already a household name in the tennis world despite her age. Ranked No. 7, she’s the highest-ranked teenager in Wimbledon 2025. Earlier this year, she lifted WTA 1000 trophies in Dubai and Indian Wells, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in the final. With wins over Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Marketa Vondrousova, Andreeva has proven she belongs at the top. She begins her Wimbledon journey this year against Mayar Sherif.
4. Maya Joint – 19 Years and 2 Months
Australian Maya Joint has seen a rapid rise in the rankings. She celebrated her 19th birthday in April and already has two WTA titles to her name, including the Moroccan Open and Eastbourne Open. Now ranked No. 41, she’s participating in her fourth Grand Slam main draw. Joint’s powerful forehand and intelligent play make her one to watch at Wimbledon 2025. Her latest title came after defeating Alex Eala in the Eastbourne final.
5. Alex Eala – 20 Years and 1 Month
Filipina star Alex Eala is set to make her Wimbledon main draw debut in dramatic fashion—on Centre Court against defending champion Barbora Krejcikova. Eala, however, thrives under pressure.

A former US Open junior champion and product of the Rafa Nadal Academy, she’s ready to make her Wimbledon story unforgettable.
