2025 Wimbledon

The 2025 Wimbledon Championships will be the 138th edition of the world's most prestigious lawn tennis tournament, which has been held annually since 1877 (save for 10 years during the two world wars and once because of COVID-19) at the All England Lawn Tennis Club in London. The tournament is slated to run from Monday, June 30, through Sunday, July 13, with qualifying matches taking place June 23-26.

In the United States, ESPN will cover the tournament for the 22nd consecutive year, dating back to 2003. This will be their 12th tournament with exclusive rights after sharing them with NBC from 2003-2011. The bulk of the linear coverage airs on ESPN. ESPN2 sees use as a second channel for the round of 16 and quarterfinals but is not scheduled to be the sole channel in use. ABC has three-hour live shows on the middle weekend, which began two years ago, along with afternoon re-airs of the finals. All of the matches are available on ESPN+.

For the fourth consecutive year, play is scheduled on the middle Sunday (July 7), which allows the fourth round to be split across two days rather than played entirely on Monday. While the tournament traditionally avoided playing on that day, it was used four times between 1991 and 2016 when rain substantially hampered the first week. This also means that singles quarterfinals are now split across Tuesday and Wednesday like the other three Grand Slam events.

The tournament is held over 18 courts with rye grass surfaces. In addition to the 15,000-seat Centre Court, there are 17 other courts, which are creatively numbered from 1-18 except for 13. No. 1 Court seats 11,500; No. 2 Court seats 4,000 and No. 3 Court seats 2,000. Courts 12 and 18 are also show courts, although these are accessible with grounds passes while the stadiums require their own tickets. The two main stadiums have roofs, which include lights that allow play to continue up to a curfew of 11 p.m. local (6 p.m. EDT) -- this is the only Grand Slam tournament with a curfew, which has to do with the grounds being in a residential area and transit options not extending indefinitely into the overnight hours.

Draws include men's and women's singles, men's and women's doubles, mixed doubles, junior boys and girls singles and doubles, wheelchair singles and doubles, and several legends events.

Broadcast schedule

ESPN returns its a one-hour studio program from 4-5 p.m. on each of the first five days of the tournament, now called "Match Point" rather than "Second Serve," which will have the effect of giving them a clean end at 5 p.m. EDT each day. The tournament has also moved the men's and women's doubles to 8 a.m. EDT on the final weekend with the singles finals starting at 11, rather than having singles at 9 with doubles following.

Commentators

Sam Querrey joins ESPN for the first week. Jeff Darlington adds to the group as a reporter and interviewer. Chris Bowers is not in the press release, and neither are either of last year's guest analysts, John Isner and Nick Kyrgios.

Dates in parentheses indicate the year each person joined ESPN's tennis contingent. These are generally taken from the ESPN press release, except for Goodall and Stubbs which do not have dates listed.

Conventions

The color-coded schedule graphics below are based on an average set length of 40 minutes; a best-of-three match is blocked at an hour and 40 minutes while a best-of-five match is 2:45, based on the likelihood of multiple sets if each set is a coin flip. Suspended matches are prorated based on the score when they are stopped.

Each match's position on the draw is indicated by a number in double square brackets. Each pair of matches with the same number meets in the next round; these numbers start with 1 at the top of the draw and proceed down the list. For example, there are 32 second-round matches, so the last pair of first-round matches is marked with 32.

In the text listing of commentators, each match is numbered sequentially when it first appears. Brief updates on other matches are indented. Angle brackets indicate split-screen coverage.

If there is only a textual listing of the show-court schedule, this means I haven't made the graphic yet and it's coming. :)

Chaos theory (last-minute withdrawals)

The rules for filling spaces created by withdrawing players are as follows.

  • If a seeded player withdraws before the draw, all lower seeds slide up one line and the top unseeded player becomes the #32 seed. One of the players who lost in the final round of qualifying becomes a "lucky loser" and receives a spot in the main draw.
  • If an unseeded player withdraws, a lucky loser gets their spot in the draw.
    • If a top-four seed withdraws after the draw but before the initial order of play is released, the #5 seed fills that opening, while the #17 seed takes the #5 seed's place. The top unseeded player becomes a #33 seed and goes in the spot vacated by the #17 seed, and that unseeded player's original place is taken by the lucky loser.
    • If a player seeded 5-16 withdraws, the #17 seed and #33 seeds cascade up as described previously with the lucky loser replacing the #33 seed.
    • Once the order of play for the first day is released, any player who withdraws before the first ball of their match is simply replaced by a lucky loser.
  • A player who has started their first match of the tournament and withdraws is not replaced: their opponent advances.
