The third Grand Slam event of the 2025 tennis season is at hand as the best players in the world convene in London for The Championships at Wimbledon.
The 138 edition of the storied grass-court tournament takes place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.
The top-ranked players automatically qualify for the main draw, which includes 32 seeded players in both the men’s and women’s pool. A total of 128 players comprise the field in each bracket. Play continues throughout the fortnight, with only one scheduled day off on Sunday, July 6. However, that day is frequently used to make up matches delayed or postponed by rain.

Who are the defending Wimbledon champions?
Carlos Alcaraz of Spain is the two-time defending men’s singles champion at Wimbledon and just won the French Open men’s singles title for the second year in a row on the clay at Roland Garros. A three-peat would cement the 22-year-old Alcaraz with some of the all-time greats at the All England Club. Since the Open era began in 1968, only Roger Federer (2003-07), Pete Sampras (1993-95; 1997-2000) and Bjorn Borg (1976-80) have managed to win Wimbledon three years in a row.
On the women’s side, Barbora Krejčíková of the Czech Republic is the defending singles champion after she outlasted Jasmine Paolini in three sets to become the second consecutive Czech winner. Markéta Vondroušová shocked the tennis world by becoming the first unseeded woman to win Wimbledon when she prevailed in 2023.
Who are the top seeded players at Wimbledon?
Italian Jannik Sinner, the reigning Australian Open and U.S. Open champion is this year’s top seed on the men’s side at Wimbledon. That’s despite losing to Alcaraz in an epic French Open final. Alcaraz is seeded second, followed by No. 3 seed Alexander Zverev of Germany, and No. 4 seed – and hometown favorite – Jack Draper of the United Kingdom.
Aryna Sabalenka is the No. 1 women’s seed ahead American Coco Gauff, who is the No. 2 seed despite beating Sabalenka in the 2025 French Open final. American Jessica Pegula is the No. 3 seed in the bracket.
