Your Inside Guide To Wimbledon 2025

Why Attend the Wimbledon Tennis Championship 2025?

Beyond sports aficionados, the Wimbledon Championship is the perfect cultural experience for the people who swear by the finer things in life. There are certain timeless traditions unique to the tournament that give it a distinct British flair.  

The Only Grand Slam still played on Grass

As the oldest Grand Slam, Wimbledon truly stands apart as it is still played on the traditional grass court. This is a true nod to the history of lawn tennis, which also enhances the experience of the spectators. Golf legends like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, and Andy Murray have graced the prestigious court. The grass court is meticulously maintained, which takes the playing experience to a different dimension and brings out true champions skilled in the game.  

The All-White Dress Code

According to Victorian etiquette, sweating was considered a serious breach of decorum. Keeping this in mind, the Wimbledon Championships enforced a strict white dress code for the players, which is one of the most important Wimbledon traditions that are followed even today. This acts as a unique visual identity of the Grand Slam that stays etched in our minds. 

The Historic Centre Court

This court has been one of the most important aspects of the Wimbledon Championships since 1922. Be it Björn Borg vs. John McEnroe, Roger Federer vs. Rafael Nadal, or Martina Navratilova vs. Chris Evert, it has been home to some of the most unforgettable showdowns in tennis. Steeped in British architecture, the club boasts 41 grass courts. It also features a retractable roof, which ensures undisrupted matches for the golf fans in any weather condition. 

Strawberries and Cream

Since the inception of this iconic tournament, serving strawberries and cream to the spectators has remained one of the most beloved Wimbledon traditions. This culinary staple is like a perfect homage to the English summer that has almost emerged as an important ritual for the attendees at the All England Club and the viewers watching from home. 

The Royal Box  

The Royal Box, specially reserved for the British royal family and other distinguished guests like heads of state, is an important symbol of the heritage of the Wimbledon championship. Located just above the central court, this place is known for its strict dress code, coveted guest list, important protocols, etiquette, and reflects the unparalleled class that embodies the England Croquet Club.

What to expect in Wimbledon 2025? 

Return of the Champions

This year’s championship will feature defending champions like Carlos Alcaraz and Barbora Krejcikova, who are ready to compete with fierce challengers like Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Aryna Sabalenka, and more.

The Rise of Budding Talents

Watch out for rising stars like British teenager Mika Stojsavljevic, who has secured a well-deserved wildcard entry to the Wimbledon Championship after winning the Lexus Junior National Championship. Oliver Bonding, the only male under 18 ranked in the ATP Top 1,000, is also ready to make a mark in the oldest tennis tournament.  

No More Human Line Judges

For the first time in its glorious history of 148 years, the Wimbledon Championship will do away with the concept of human line judges on court. Taking a bold, tech-forward move, the historic tournament has decided to replace them with high-speed cameras and tracking software, making sure that the game is fair, fast, and accurate, and there is no scope for human error.
