No1 tennis influencer Rachel Stuhlmann tips Carlos Alcaraz to win Wimbledon and Elena Rybakina to reclaim her title

NO1 tennis influencer Rachel Stuhlmann is backing Carlos Alcaraz to win his first Wimbledon title, and believes Elena Rybakina can reclaim her title.

The 31-year-old has won scores of fans on Instagram, where she has showcased her skills on the court and shown off her knowledge of the sport.

In the men's game, she sees Spaniard Alcaraz as the real contender to Novak Djokovic's throne.

Buoyed by his success at the Queen's Club Championships, Rachel believes the 20-year-old has now proven himself on grass and is full of confidence.

She told SunSportSport: I think Carlos can win it this year.

"Even though he may not have a ton of experience on grass, he has already proven himself on the surface by winning Queen’s Club last week.

"His athleticism is unmatched and I bet he’s feeling pretty confident being back as world No. 1."

Last year, Rybakina, 26, reigned supreme on Centre Court - defeating Ons Jabeur in the final.

Rachel thinks that the Kazakhstan star can repeat her heroics and claim back-to-back titles.

Stuhlmann continued: "I’m pretty sure winning back to back Wimbledon titles hasn’t been done on the women’s side since Serena Williams in 2015 and 2016. But I am confident that Elena can defend her title.

"She’s such a strong and powerful player. That combined with on-court calmness and her even-keeled demeanour make her one of the most challenging players to face off against, especially in a Grand Slam."

Meanwhile, Stuhlmann is gearing up for Wimbledon by launching her own clothing collection on her website.

features sweatshirts, T-shirts, polo shirts and more - featuring racket, ball and crown motifs.

"The vintage cross racquet logo and Royal logo were fun ways for me to honour and acknowledge the elegance of tennis in beautiful London," she said.
