While winning any Grand Slam is a monumental accomplishment in tennis, winning Wimbledon remains the peak of the sport. Since the tournament started in 1877, it’s remained tennis’ most prestigious event. When you think of tennis, Wimbledon immediately comes to mind.
The 2025 tournament is set to kick off soon, and plenty of the big names will be looking to win it all. On the men’s side, Carlos Alcaraz will look to carry his French Open momentum forward. Alcaraz will head into Wimbledon as the No. 2 ranked men’s player, behind Jannik Sinner, who Alcaraz defeated to win the French Open. Alcarez won Wimbledon last year, so he’s no stranger to success at the event.
On the women’s side, Barbora Krejcikova will look to defend her crown after taking down some tough competition last year. But a number of higher-ranked women will look to prove themselves after disappointing performances at Wimbledon in 2024. Coco Gauff and Iga Swiatek both suffered early losses at the tournament. Women’s No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka had to withdraw from the event due to a shoulder injury. That should give Krejcikova plenty of competition as she looks to repeat.
With Wimbledon 2025 just around the corner, here’s everything you need to know about the prestigious event, including the dates, schedule and draw for the tournament.
When is Wimbledon 2025 start date?
Wimbledon 2025 will begin Monday, June 30. The event will progress until the middle of July, with the women’s final being held Saturday, July 12. The men’s final will occur the following day.
That’s fairly standard for the event, which normally begins at the end of June and ends in mid-July.
