Just three weeks after play closed on the red clay of Roland-Garros, the world’s top tennis players have descended upon London for the ultimate grass court event of the year at the All England Lawn Tennis Club. Wimbledon main draw matches kick off on Monday, June 30, 2025, at 11:00 am London time (6:00 am ET in the U.S.). The concluding day is Sunday, July 13, 2025, with the men’s singles final headlining.
Here’s a preview of this year’s Wimbledon, with a look at some of the big questions and fine details so you can get the most out of the next two weeks of action from London.
How to Watch Wimbledon
In the U.S., ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN Deportes, and ESPN+ are the main avenues for catching matches throughout the next two weeks of Wimbledon. On the first weekend, be sure to check ABC, because they are picking up certain blocks of coverage, and Tennis Channel will replay some of the day’s best matches.
If you’re in the U.K., the BBC, TNT Sports, and discovery+ will handle coverage and highlight shows.
And if you’re at work and can’t sneak a stream, Wimbledon Radio is outstanding.
Five Big Questions for Wimbledon 2025
1) Can Novak Djokovic get his 25th major? He already holds the men’s record, but he remains tied at 24 with Margaret Court. And if there’s one thing we know about Djokovic, it’s that he wants to hold the record. He sacrificed the Grand Slams last year to get the gold medal in Paris, but he thinks the grass at Wimbledon is his path to getting over the line. “I would probably agree Wimbledon could be the best chance,” said Djokovic. “Because of the results I have had, because of how I feel, how I play in Wimbledon — getting that extra push mentally and motivation to perform the best tennis at the highest level.”
2) Has Iga Swiatek turned a corner? It’s no secret that the former world number one isn’t exactly a fan of grass (even if she loves playing at Wimbledon). Still, after she reached the final of Bad Homburg this week without dropping a set until she lost to Jessica Pegula, she noted that “there is hope for me on grass.” Sure, Swiatek made some minor adjustments to her game. More than that, she flipped the switch on how she carries herself on the court. She competed like the five-time major titleholder she is. That is what will make her dangerous at Wimbledon more than any improvement to her volleys.
3) Is Jack Draper ready? The British number one literally made himself sick at last year’s Wimbledon (and the U.S. Open) from all the external and internal pressure put upon him. But that will feel like a dress rehearsal compared to what he’s about to experience in 2025. Andy Murray’s final match at Wimbledon diverted some of the attention from the young Brit. And expectations were a bit lower, given he hadn’t even cracked the top 20 yet. Now he’s number four in the world, and all eyes (and every British media outlet) will be on him. Is he prepared for what’s ahead?
