The trio are three of 10 Grand Slam champions entered in the field, though only defending champion Vondrousova and 2022 winner Rybakina have triumphed at Wimbledon previously. Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, and Belinda Bencic

View Profile , were the only two withdrawals among eligible players prior to the entry deadline; they are both on maternity leave.

Notably, two-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist Karolina Muchova

View Profile has also entered the field. The World No.14 and 2023 Roland Garros finalist has yet to play this year following wrist surgery in February. 

Nine players have earned direct entry to the main draw with a protected ranking, pushing the direct-entry cutoff to No.97. They included two-time Wimbledon quarterfinalist Ajla Tomljanovic

Van Uytvanck is the last direct acceptance to the main draw, beneath this week's true No.97, former Wimbledon quarterfinalist Jule Niemeier

Three former World No.1s have not gained direct entry to the main draw. Naomi Osaka

View Profile and Angelique Kerber have both exhausted the two major events allotted to their special rankings at the Australian Open and Roland Garros. Nearly five months into their comebacks from maternity leave, Osaka is ranked No.134 and Kerber No.238. Four-time Grand Slam winner Osaka is in the alternates list; she will need a wild card (or 36 withdrawals) to reach the main draw. Kerber, the 2018 Wimbledon champion, is not in the alternates list.
