Veterans stole the show at Wimbledon, with Laura Siegemund, Novak Djokovic, Marin Cilic, and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova impressing with their experience. Meanwhile, top seeds like Jack Draper, Madison Keys, and Alexander Zverev exited early. Siegemund made history by becoming the oldest player to reach her first Wimbledon quarterfinal at 37 years and 118 days. She celebrated, saying, “It's rare that you get a compliment for being old.”

"It's probably the first time he's watched me and I won the match."

Other seasoned players, such as Ekaterina Alexandrova and Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova, also shine in the competition, highlighting that success on grass requires more than just youth. Experience, strength, and strategic thinking are key qualities that have helped these players thrive at Wimbledon.

Siegemund brings extensive experience to the court, having first participated in Wimbledon qualifiers 14 years ago and making her main draw debut in 2015. After years of hard work, she's now set to face Aryna Sabalenka. If she pulls off an upset and wins the title, she'd become the oldest champion in over a century.

Veterans Shine in Men's Draw

Novak Djokovic and Marin Cilic have proven their endurance in the men's tournament, reaching the round of 16. They could even face each other in a potential next match. Meanwhile, 34-year-old Grigor Dimitrov is set to face Jannik Sinner, looking to showcase his experience on grass, having previously reached the semifinals in 2014.

Novak Djokovic, who recently celebrated his 100th title, is the veteran with the strongest chance of claiming the Wimbledon title. A win would make him the oldest champion since the Open Era began. With bookmakers giving him around a 20% chance, the 38-year-old has decent odds for achieving this impressive feat.
