The All England Club could have been called the Total Italian Club at the Wimbledon fortnight this year, after three Italians made thrilling, deep runs in London. 

On the men’s side, world No. 1 Jannik Sinner made it to the quarterfinals before being ousted by the No. 5 seed, Daniil Medvedev in a sensational five-set match. 

But the deepest run by an Italian man at Wimbledon this year is an honor bestowed upon the No. 25 seed, Lorenzo Musetti. 

The Italian said ciao to top American Taylor Fritz in a five-set quarterfinal, before falling to eventual runner up Djokovic in straight-sets in the semifinal. 

Sinner’s and Musetti’s deep runs mark the first time in history that multiple Italian men have reached the last eight at Wimbledon, with Musetti becoming just the seventh Italian man in history to advance to the quarterfinals. 

The most successful Italian at Wimbledon this year was No. 7 seed, Jasmine Paolini. Paolini debuted on the ITF circuit in 2011 and has spent over a decade collecting points and rising through the rankings. In 2019, she finally cracked the top 100, and in the years since, has seen a steady, if not slow, ascension. Before this year, the 28-year-old hadn’t successfully made it past the Round of 16 at any Grand Slam. But 2024 seems to be her year. In May, she was runner-up at the French Open, and just followed up that career-best at a slam at Wimbledon, where she lost to Krejcikova in the final.
