The Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is again chasing the biggest title in tennis – it would be his third in a row. For the fans, the strawberries with cream cost a little more this time – everything to the tennis classic in Wimbledon.
Wimbledon – more tradition is not possible
The third Grand Slam-Tournament of the year is the oldest and certainly the most important tennis tournament in the world. Since 1877 it has been in “All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club” At the London Church road With the famous SW19 postcode for women around the Venus Rosewather Dish and for the men around the Gentlemen’s Cup.
Prize money for the champions increases by 10 percent
In 2025, the winners received around three million British pounds in singles, which is around 3.5 million euros – and thus another 10 percent more than in the previous year. Three years ago, the reward for the champions was still two million pounds. The prize money in Wimbledon increased in 2025 to the record amount of £ 53.5 million (around 62.8 million euros).
Start on June 30th, finals on July 12th and 13th
Wimbledon starts with the first game on June 30, 2025 and ends on the weekend from July 12th to 13th, 2025 with the women’s and men’s individual finals on the Center Court.
New “kick -off times” at the end games
The individual finals of women and men who are held on the second Saturday and Sunday start for the first time at 4 p.m. at 2 p.m. Both finals are now the last games of the day. The organizers said these adjustments aim to increase the number of spectators in North and South America.
The tournament can be seen here
There was a change in the transfer rights for Germany (and Austria) last year. The Wimbledon games will no longer be shown at “Sky”, but on “Prime Video”.
Djokovic chases the Federer record
With eight individual titles, the Swiss Roger Federer is the record winner in Wimbledon, followed by Pete Sampras and Novak Djokovic with seven individual titles. Since Djokovic is the only one out of the trio, he can catch up in Federer in first place. In the women, the Czech-American legend, Martina Navratilova, leads undisputed with nine victories, followed by Steffi Graf and Serena Williams with seven individual titles each.
Alcaraz and Sinner the favorites
In 2023 and 2024, Carlos Alcaraz won the male final of the classic lawn. In the final, he defeated Novak Djokovic, who triumphed in 2022 and in the three years before. Nevertheless, Jannik Sinner from South Tyrol is the top candidate of most bookmakers. Opportunities for the only Grand Slam title on lawn also expect Taylor Fritz, local hero Jack Draper, Lorenzo Musetti, Daniil Medvedev and the German Alexander Zverev-although he has never got beyond the round of 16 in Wimbledon. Alexander Bucks, who most recently won in Halle, should also be noted.
Many surprises among women in the previous year
The Czech Barbora Krejcikova won 6: 4 in the third set after a hard fight against Italian Jasmine Paolini last year. A favorite for 2025 is difficult, especially on the sacred lawn: Last year there was a surprise after the other in the two Wimbledon weeks, only three of the 18 top players reached the quarter-finals. Also crazy: there have been eight different winners in the past eight years.
Novum: Wimbledon without a lines
End of an era in Wimbledon: Even the time-honored tennis rasurier no longer relies on linesquarters. Instead, as with the Australian Open and the US Open, an electronic system is used, which shows whether a ball has arisen in the field or outside. “We take our responsibility for the balance between tradition and innovation in Wimbledon very seriously“, said Wimbledon boss Sally Bolton:”We recognize the valuable contribution of the line judges and thank you for your commitment and commitment. “
The Germans Tennis hopes
The 37-year-old Tatjana Maria recently caused a sensation for women. She won the tournament at the Queen’s Club in London, which is played on lawn like Wimbledon on lawn. For the men, Zverev recently knocked out with a smile after his defeat in Stuttgart: “Don’t worry, I’ll be wimbledon. Win.”
It would not be as natural with Jan-Lennard Struff, Yannick Hanfmann or Daniel Altmaier, who, like the women Eva Lys or Laura Siegemund, should be happy about every single match won.
Price increase in the strawberries with cream
Belong to the fans in Wimbledon “Strawberries and Cream” To the many traditions that are lovingly and meticulously maintained by the British. 28 tons of strawberries are to be consumed by the tennis viewers at every tournament. A picnic portion has cost £ 2.50 since 2010, but for 2025 the organizer announced an increase of 20 pence.
