Less than a month after the last major of the tennis season, the French Open, it's time for Wimbledon 2025!
Both of last year's champions, Carlos Alcaraz from the men's bracket and Barbora Krejčíková from the women's bracket, are back to defend their titles, though neither are entering this year's Wimbledon as the No. 1 seed — that'll be Jannik Sinner and Aryna Sabalenka, who were also the No. 1 seeds at last month's French Open.
Sabalenka, the women's No. 1 seed, is entering Wimbledon following a French Open championship loss to the Wimbledon No. 2 seed, Coco Gauff.

Notably, Alcaraz is coming off a thrilling come-from-behind French Open championship win against Sinner. Being on opposite ends of the Wimbledon draw means the two could only have a rematch of last month's final in the championship of this tournament.
It all gets started today at 6 a.m. ET with the first matches of Round 1 action. Due to the time difference between the United States and Paris, matches will air live stateside beginning at 6 a.m. ET most days.
ESPN will be the go-to network for this year's Wimbledon coverage.

Play is underway! And Medvedev has questions...
Follow live coverage of the opening day at SW19 as champions Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejčíková begin their title defences Getty Images The 2025 Wimbledon Championships are up and running, with two-time defending men's champion Carlos Alcaraz currently in action on Centre Court. Alcaraz took the first set but veteran Fabio Fognini has since claimed the second. Meanwhile, women's world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is already into the second round — beating Canada's Carson Branstine 6-1, 7-5 on No. 1 Court. U.S. 12th seed Frances Tiafoe dispatched Elmer Møller in straight sets but men's ninth seed Daniil Medvedev is out after losing in four to Benjamin Bonzi, while Stefanos Tsitsipas (24) retired with a back issue after two sets against Valentin Royer. Brit Emma Raducanu features later on a bright and hot first day, with little chance of rain interruptions and temperatures reaching 90F (32C). Watch: BBC (UK), ESPN (U.S.) BBC (UK), ESPN (U.S.) Get involved: live@ GO FURTHER How Wimbledon gets its grass courts, flowers and tennis balls ready for Grand Slam action Clearly we should get tucking into the tennis too — because the action is underway! Daniil Medvedev is among the first to get going, as the ninth seed prepares to tackle Benjamin Bonzi on Court 2. He has a lot of questions for the umpire at the net too, mostly revolving around towels, balls, whether he will need a water bottle and is there still water available. Makes you think how disorientating it must be when you begin at a tournament. As for the stars, former footballer and Inter Miami owner David Beckham is here today. Apparently he's looking 'dapper' according to the broadcast I have on beside me, which seems to be the default description for him these days. And for the record, he definitely does. I will endeavor to find photo proof before the day is done. It's not quite the shops opening on Black Friday, but it's still a big point in the Wimbledon fortnight. The gates are open and the spectators are filtering in. Getty Images Tennis (and sporting) legend Roger Federer has won the most men's singles titles of all time here. His eight championships include an astounding five in a row from 2003 to 2007, and six in seven years with his 2009 title — before more in 2012 and 2017. Among those with seven, Novak Djokovic could draw level with Federer if he succeeds this year. He currently sits alongside Pete Sampras and William Renshaw. If Carlos Alcaraz wins his third trophy in a row at SW19, only nine men in history and five in the Open Era will have won more. Getty Images Martina Navratilova is peerless when it comes to women's singles titles at Wimbledon. The Czech-American has nine of them, with an astounding six straight from 1982 to 1987. Helen Wills Moody is second on eight with Serena Williams, Steffi Graf and Dorothea Lambert Chambers all on seven. Among current players, only two-time champion Petra Kvitová (2011, 2014) has won more than once on the hallowed grass of Centre Court. GO FURTHER Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova will retire from tennis after U.S. Open Getty Images No doubt everyone out there is wondering what the weather is going to be like for the opening day at Wimbledon. Well, the good news is it's looking dry — and HOT. The temperature is already at 27C (81F) in south London and is likely to hit a high of 32C (90F) come the midday sun, which is likely to be broken by only occasional cloud. There will be a mild southerly wind, with basically zero chance of rain. No need for those roofs today, guys! Getty Images There is some serious history behind the trophies received by the two Wimbledon singles champions. The men's singles trophy was first presented in 1887 — cup-shaped and standing 18 inches high, with a diameter of 7.5 inches. A for the women's singles trophy, that was first presented a year earlier — dish-shaped with a mythological theme, it is known as the Rosewater Dish or Venus Rosewater Dish. The winner of both will receive a three-quarter size replica bearing the names of all past champions. Getty Images This year at Wimbledon the singles champions take home a pretty tasty prize pot. Both the men's and women's singles champion will win an equal prize pot of £3million each. That would set up the summer pretty nicely… Getty Images As for the men's top seeds in each singles draw… Seed 1: Jannik Sinner (vs. Luca Nardi) (vs. Luca Nardi) 2: Carlos Alcaraz (vs. Fabio Fognini) (vs. Fabio Fognini) 3: Alexander Zverev (vs. Arthur Rinderknech) (vs. Arthur Rinderknech) 4: Jack Draper (vs. Sebástian Báez) (vs. Sebástian Báez) 5: Taylor Fritz (vs. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard) (vs. Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard) 6: Novak Djokovic (vs. Alexandre Muller) (vs. Alexandre Muller) 7: Lorenzo Musetti (vs. Nikoloz Basilashvili) (vs. Nikoloz Basilashvili) 8: Holger Rune (vs. Nicolas Jarry) (vs. Nicolas Jarry) 9: Daniil Medvedev (vs. Benjamin Bonzi) (vs. Benjamin Bonzi) 10: Ben Shelton (vs. Alex Bolt) Getty Images Let's start by rattling through the top 10 seeds in each singles draw.

We will be with you throughout this third Grand Slam of the year, starting today with the opening first-round matches in both the men's and women's singles draws. You will find the full order of play for today below. In the meantime we have an hour to continue the build-up, and we will take you through some of the seedings and contenders. Thanks again for joining us. If the fun in Paris last month is anything to go by, this is going to be a great ride. Getty Images Wimbledon begins today and the draws for the men's and women's singles are intriguing, while also throwing up some blockbuster first-round matches. Novak Djokovic goes in pursuit of his 25th Grand Slam title, while defending champion Carlos Alcaraz seeks the French Open, Queen's and Wimbledon treble that has not been done since 2008. On the women's side, world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka enters as favorite after missing two recent editions, while 2023 champion Markéta Vondroušová is in form and ready to rekindle her fire in south-west London. The Athletic's tennis writers, Matthew Futterman and Charlie Eccleshare, analyze the match-ups and offer some of their picks for the best matches of the opening days. The Athletic We'd love to hear from you ahead of the 2025 Championships getting underway in little over an hour. Who do you think is going to win this year? Who will be the most successful British and American players? And is Wimbledon your favourite Grand Slam of the season? Let us know by emailing live@ Getty Images Arguably, it's the most famous tennis court in the world. It is the main showpiece court, only ever used at the Wimbledon Championships (apart from the 2012 London Olympic Games), and has a capacity of 14,979. Distinguished guests sit in the Royal Box, with a 3,000-tonne retractable roof installed in 2009. The inscription above the entrance quotes Rudyard Kipling's poem 'If': 'If you can meet with triumph and disaster, and treat those two impostors just the same.' Wise words for anyone playing on it. Neil Stubley, Wimbledon's head of courts and horticulture, is the man in charge of keeping the tennis courts pristine as he enters his 30th tournament. He and his team of 18, which grows to 31 during the event, are responsible for 'anything that grows' — including weeds. 💬 'Every day we test the ball bounce height and the hardness of the surface,' Stubley says. 'If they're getting too hard, we can add a little more water. If they get too soft, we can just hold off on irrigation and let Mother Nature dry it out a little more. 'Last week, it got its final liquid fertilizer on to give it the right color that we need.' GO FURTHER How Wimbledon gets its grass courts, flowers and tennis balls ready for Grand Slam action Getty Images At the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), better known as Wimbledon, grounds staff have 88 grass courts across three venues to maintain. The 18 match courts at Wimbledon are quiet until the tournament starts, but three miles to the north west, the 34 courts at the qualifying tournament complex in Roehampton are full of players bidding to make the main draw in the build-up to the main event. Then there are the 16 extra practice courts at AELTC Community Centre in Raynes Park, and the 20 practice courts at Wimbledon itself, which have all been in use since June 23. Plus there's the added task of maintaining flowers in borders and general planting around the site. It's a mammoth task. Show courts.

Wimbledon: 2-time runner-up Ons Jabeur quits during her first-round match after a medical timeout
Two-time Wimbledon runner-up Ons Jabeur retired during her first-round match Monday after taking a medical timeout, the latest issue for her during an injury-filled season. Jabeur, a 30-year-old from Tunisia, quit playing while trailing Viktoriya Tomova 7-6 (5), 2-0. Jabeur was visited by a trainer in the first set. At one point, she sat on her sideline seat and cried into a towel. 'I wasn't expecting not to feel good. I have been practicing pretty well the last few days. But I guess these things happen,' Jabeur said afterward. 'I'm pretty sad. Doesn't really help me with my confidence and what I keep pushing myself to do even though it was a very tough season for me. I hope I can feel better.' She lost to Elena Rybakina in the 2022 final and to Marketa Vondrousova in the 2023 final. Jabeur also was a finalist at the 2022 U.S. Open, losing to Iga Swiatek. Jabeur's 2024 season ended early because of a shoulder injury and she's dealt with leg problems this year.

2-time champion Petra Kvitova makes a final appearance at Wimbledon before she retires
This year's visit to Wimbledon is special for Petra Kvitova. It marks her return to competition at the All England Club — the site of her two greatest triumphs as a professional tennis player — after missing the event last year while on maternity leave. And it also marks her farewell to the grass-court Grand Slam tournament she won in 2011 and 2014: Kvitova, a 35-year-old left-hander from the Czech Republic, announced 1 1/2 weeks ago that she plans to leave the tour after the U.S. Open, which ends in September. 'It's crazy to see that she's retiring, because I remember playing her when I just started,' said Aryna Sabalenka, 27, the three-time major champion who is seeded No. 1 at the All England Club. 'I'm kind of sad. I was thinking when I saw the news: 'Come on. Give it try. Why? Why would you retire? Keep going.'' Kvitova, who received a wild-card invitation from the tournament, was scheduled to play in the first round of Wimbledon on Tuesday against No. 10 seed Emma Navarro of the United States. 'It'll be amazing, for sure. It's my favorite tournament. It always has been and it always will be. So it'll be very nice to be back,' Kvitova said in an interview with The Associated Press. 'It's always brought me so many memories. Some really good memories, of course. But also bad memories, because losing with the pressure there is hard. Even with the two best results of my career, I do feel like sometimes the losses were very, very painful. But at the end of the day, winning two titles is what counts the most.' Kvitova's first two appearances at the tournament she refers to as 'Wimby' did not go perfectly. She lost her opening matches in both 2008 and 2009. But the following year, she made it all the way the semifinals. And then, in 2011, Kvitova beat Maria Sharapova 6-3, 6-4 in the final. Three years later, Kvitova earned her second trophy, defeating Eugenie Bouchard 6-3, 6-0 in the title match. 'It took me a while,' Kvitova said, 'to get used to the grass.' Kvitova, who's been ranked as high as No. 2 but is currently outside the top 500 because of her absence and a 1-6 record since her February comeback, also associates two other key memories with Wimbledon. Jiri Vanek, her coach since 2016, proposed to Kvitova at Centre Court and they're now married. Their first child, a son named Petr, was born during the middle weekend of the 2024 fortnight. Kvitova described her 17 months away from the tour as feeling akin to just a short break. 'It actually feels like I never quit. It feels like I've been here every year,' she said before returning to Grand Slam action at the French Open in May. 'My mindset is still in a good place, so it feels good to be here. And my game is getting better.' Motherhood does present its challenges, as for any working mom. The biggest difficulty, Kvitova said, has been being away from her family when they don't accompany her when she is playing. 'Traveling together is not easy sometimes, either. The worst part is the logistics that come with it. Having so much stuff. Being in the hotel room it can be a little tough, especially when they're small. He is starting to crawl and everything, so it's a mess everywhere,' she said. 'But it also is fun. He's a very good boy, so that makes it all a little bit easier.'
