When is Wimbledon 2025? Start date, schedule, seeds, draw and how to watch tennis' most prestigious event
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.
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.

Apple Hopes Tennis Will Remind You the Apple Sports App Exists
Apple is adding a few new capabilities to the Apple Sports app that it hopes will convince you to actually download the thing. Its biggest item on the list of additions: tennis. For the first time, Apple Sports will now be able to track and relay tennis scores in real time. In Apple's own words: 'Tennis fans can access live scores for Grand Slam and 1000-level tournaments, and can track every point across all men's and women's singles matches, beginning with Wimbledon.' No disrespect—I'm not a huge fan of tennis even though I've been to the U.S. Open before—but it's a little too rich (literally dollar-wise) for my taste. That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of people out there who are big tennis fans, though, so maybe a little dose of Wimbledon will go a long way. If tennis isn't enough for you, Apple is also introducing some quality-of-life features, like the ability to choose which teams show first in the home section of the app. 'Favorite teams always appear at the top, giving fans instant access to the scores and updates they care about the most,' says Apple in a statement. That's not really a game-changer, but it's better than having to sort through a bunch of games and leagues you don't really care about just to confirm your precious Buffalo Bills are losing to the Chiefs in the AFC championship once again. As usual, you'll be able to track your scores—including the newly added tennis matches—through Live Activities if you so choose, which means you get real-time updates on your iPhone's lock screen. There's still no widget for Apple Sports yet, though, but Apple said in a briefing with press that it's always thinking of new ways to spruce up the app and stopped short of ruling widgets out completely. If you're reading this and wondering, what the hell is the Apple Sports app? Or maybe you knew about the app but have entirely forgotten its existence, I wouldn't blame you. Apple Sports was introduced as a standalone app last year, and has somewhat silently chugged along since then, adding football scores and live activities last August. To be honest, the purpose of an Apple Sports app kind of confuses me. I get that modern-day Apple is as much a software-as-a-service company as it is the maker of the iPhone, and funneling iPhone users towards streaming services like Apple TV+ could be a big win, but sports are often an unwieldy beast—or at least the ones that are worth streaming on your platform are, for example, the NFL. For now, Apple is relying on relatively minor leagues like the MLS and only some MLB games to convince sports fans to subscribe to Apple TV+, which ain't nothing, but also aren't exactly the most-watched sporting events in the U.S. If Apple Sports is going to fulfill its mission as a conduit to streaming sports, Apple has a lot of work cut out for it in the licensing department, and unfortunately Google and YouTube already seem to have the NFL in their corner. But hey, my tastes aside, I guess playing ball (tennis in this case) isn't a bad start.

A Popular iPhone App Just Got a Simple Yet Significant New Feature
Apple is finally rolling out some key updates to one of its newer iPhone apps. If you don't use Apple Sports as your default sports app, I'd highly recommend trying it. Unlike other popular sports apps, like ESPN, Apple Sports cuts out the bloat — advertisements, news and rumor articles — and just gives you quick access to real-time game scores and stats. It's a minimalist app that's incredibly easy to navigate. But the coolest thing about Apple Sports is that it makes using Live Activities — the feature where your favorite team's games appear right on your Lock Screen — super easy. And, if you find a one-off game that you want to keep track of, a quick tap of the Live Activity icon will get it to show up on your Lock Screen, too. That said, as somebody who uses Apple Sports every day, I'll admit the app isn't perfect. It's pretty barebones and, most significantly, some popular sports haven't been supported. Off the top of my head, tennis and golf, as well as some important competitions, such as FIFA's current Club World Cup, have been notable omissions. But that looks set to change. Today, Apple is adding a simple yet neat new feature to Apple Sports, as well as rolling out support for a new sport. Apple has introduced a new 'Home' section to the Apple Sports app, which will allow you to customize and better organize your favorite teams, leagues and competitions to appear in the app based on your preferences. The press release states: 'Events and matchups are now grouped by league, with intuitive controls for fans to set their preferred order, ensuring their top leagues appear first. Favorite teams always appear at the top, giving fans instant access to the scores and updates they care about the most.' Those who have favorited several teams or competitions can now edit which of them appears at the top of the new Home section. To do this, select Home in the top-right > select Edit > and drag and reorder as you see fit. The other big update is that Apple is finally adding support for Men's and Women's tennis, which had been one of the biggest omissions (along with golf) to date. The addition of tennis comes at an opportune time — Wimbledon begins next week. According to Apple, its sports app will have support for over 1,000 tennis tournaments, including the Grand Slams. The updated app will allow users to track specific players' progress throughout the tournament, just like you've been able to do so with other sports teams — yes, each of their matchups will appear as a Live Activity on your iPhone's Lock Screen. Apple is rolling out this update — technically 'version 3.0' — to Apple Sports right now. Your app will update automatically in the coming days, but you can initiate it manually by following these steps: Open the App Store app on your iPhone. Select your profile icon. Tap Apps. Tap My Apps. Scroll down to Apple Sports and select 'Update.' To learn more about the new features coming to Apple Sports, check out Apple's press release.

Wimbledon champ in survival mode again at Eastbourne
Wimbledon champion Barbora Krejcikova has saved match points for the second successive day against a British opponent to reach the quarter-finals of the Eastbourne International event. The 29-year-old renowned fighter was troubled by a thigh strain and looked on the verge of being knocked out by Jodie Burrage on Wednesday when she served at 5-6 in the deciding set and fell 0-40 behind but she somehow turned it around to win 6-4 4-6 7-6 (7-3). There was further disappointment for British fans in the following match at a packed Devonshire Park when Emma Raducanu was beaten 4-6 6-1 7-6 (7-4) by 19-year-old Australian Maya Joint. the second seed survives 😮💨#LexusEastbourneOpen — wta (@WTA) June 25, 2025 Second seed Krejcikova, who beat Italy's Jasmine Paolini to win last year's Wimbledon title, seemed in control when leading by a set and a break of serve but needed treatment on her leg. Burrage, ranked 164th in the world, played impressively to hit back though and broke Krejcikova's serve to level the match -- one point being awarded to her after a forehand from her opponent found its way through a hole in the net. The 26-year-old British player kept just ahead in the decider but she could not take any of the three match points that came her way and then a costly double-fault in the tiebreak offered up match points to Krejcikova, who made no mistake. Krejcikova, who also saved match points on Tuesday against home player Harriet Dart, has won two singles matches in a row for the first time in an injury-hit 2025. "Another tough match," Krejcikova, who also has a French Open singles crown to her name, said on court. "Brits know how to play on grass and it's hard to play against them but happy I'm through. "I was going through a difficult moment at the beginning of this year but I'm happy I'm here and can keep finding the level that I know I can reach." Krejcikova will next face French qualifier Varvara Gracheva.
