Wimbledon 2025: Key Details, Schedule, and Prize Money
Wimbledon 2025 Overview
The 138th edition of Wimbledon, one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments globally, is set to take place from June 30 to July 13 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. This grass court major is the third Grand Slam of the year and has been held since 1877, making it the oldest tennis tournament in the world.
Defending Champion Carlos Alcaraz
All eyes will be on Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion in men's singles. The Spanish player is currently on an 18-match winning streak. His confidence soared after defeating world number one Jannik Sinner in the longest French Open final to date, which lasted five hours and 29 minutes after saving three match points. Alcaraz's preparation for Wimbledon has gone according to plan, having secured his second title at the Queen's Club Championship.
Notable Competitors
Other prominent players participating in this esteemed Grand Slam include Coco Gauff, Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, and Barbora Krejcikova. Alcaraz aims to win his third consecutive Wimbledon title, while Djokovic seeks to equal Roger Federer's all-time men's record of eight Wimbledon titles, having not won a Grand Slam since the 2023 US Open.
Krejcikova's Ambition
Barbora Krejcikova hopes to become the first woman to defend her title at Wimbledon since Serena Williams. However, she arrives at the grass major with concerns over an injury, having withdrawn from the Eastbourne tournament due to a thigh issue.
New Technology at Wimbledon
This year, Wimbledon will implement an electronic line-calling system alongside line judges, a technology already in use at tournaments worldwide.
