The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club is set to command the global spotlight once more as the 2025 Wimbledon Championships take place from Monday, 30 June to Sunday, 13 July.
Renowned as the oldest and perhaps most illustrious of the four Grand Slams, Wimbledon promises two weeks of world-class tennis, enduring traditions, and a forward-thinking leap into the future.
This year signals a landmark moment in Wimbledon’s 147-year legacy, as human line judges make way for electronic line-calling systems across every court – a first in the tournament’s storied history.
This decision, aimed at enhancing officiating precision and consistency, represents a monumental shift for the tournament long renowned for its tradition-bound ethos.
While purists may lament the departure of line judges, tournament organisers emphasise the importance of evolving with the times without compromising the integrity of the game.
Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz and the Czech Republic’s Barbora Krejčíková return to SW19 as defending singles champions. Both will be under the spotlight as they face fierce competition from the world’s elite, eager to etch their names into the Wimbledon history books.
British fans will also be rallying behind homegrown talents, with anticipation high around possible deep runs from the likes of Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper.
