Wimbledon 2025 explained: Dates, how to watch, prize money and odds

The world's best tennis players have very much arrived at Wimbledon, with the Championships getting under way under glorious sunshine at SW19. Skip to: Draw details How to watch How to buy Wimbledon tickets Prize money When do the Wimbledon finals take place? New to 2025 British players at Wimbledon Latest odds Draw details How to watch Wimbledon on TV and streaming in the UK The BBC is broadcasting the event on BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer. Isa Guha (in the morning) and Clare Balding (in the afternoon) will lead the presenting team. They will be joined by John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, Tracy Austin, Tim Henman and Annabel Croft. Every match is available to stream live on the iPlayer. The popular highlights show, Today at Wimbledon, has been moved to a graveyard slot on BBC2 – at 11.55pm on day one and a similar time thereafter. For viewers who want to watch the highlights show earlier, it will still be available at 8pm or 9pm on the iPlayer. Nick Kyrgios will not be returning as a BBC pundit at Wimbledon this year after being hired in 2024. The corporation caused outrage 12 months ago by hiring the 'bad boy' of tennis just over a year after he admitted assaulting an ex-girlfriend. Kyrgios said the BBC's decision not to include him is ' their loss more than mine '. By UK law, Wimbledon is a 'Category B' television event, meaning that although the men's and women's finals must always remain free-to-air, there is no guarantee that the rest of the tournament will not one day be shown on pay-TV. TNT Sports has the rights to show the men's and women's finals as well as a nightly highlights show at 10pm every day of the tournament. How to watch Wimbledon on TV in the US ESPN has the rights to show 140-plus hours of coverage from Wimbledon in the United States. In 2021, ESPN signed a 12-year agreement to broadcast the event. Coverage begins each day at 6am Eastern Time. Where is Wimbledon held? The tournament takes place, as ever, at the All England Lawn Tennis Club on Church Road, Wimbledon. The competition has been held on this site since 1922, when The Championships were moved from their previous location on Worple Road. How to buy Wimbledon tickets The public Wimbledon ballot is closed, meaning that most tickets for the show courts are unavailable. However, one of the traditions of Wimbledon is 'the Queue'. Every day fans can queue for a ticket to one of the show courts or for a grounds pass, depending on what is available by the time they reach the front of the queue. Each day 500 tickets for Centre Court (excluding the last four days), No 1 Court, and No 2 Court are sold. A grounds pass entitles fans to access all courts apart from the show courts. Resale tickets for Centre Court, No 1 Court and No 2 Court are available from 3pm each day, from the ticket resale kiosk north of Court 18. For more ticket information, click here. What is the Wimbledon prize money? In 2025, total prize money is £53.5 million, up 7 per cent from last year and is double the figure awarded 10 years ago. The men's and women's singles champions will take home £3 million each. First-round losers in the singles will receive £66,000. When do the Wimbledon finals take place? The women's final takes place on Saturday, July 12, and the men's final the following day, Sunday July 13. New for 2025 No line judges In a major break from history for the Championships, an automated electronic line calling (ELC) system will be adopted this year, consigning line judges to the past. The technology will be in place across all Championships and qualifying match courts, with more than 450 cameras installed across the two venues to facilitate its operation. A contingent of the former line umpires will return to the tournament in the new role of match assistants. Change to finals weekend The men's and women's singles finals will start at 4pm, two hours later than usual, to appeal to global broadcasters, with both matches now beginning on the west coast of the United States at the more generous time of 8am, rather than 6am. The All England Club said the decision to move the singles finals to later slots, with doubles showpieces starting at 1pm 'makes for a better conclusion to the Championships'. Wimbledon court and stadium guide Wimbledon has six show courts: Centre Court, No 1 Court, No 2 Court, No 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18. Centre is the largest court at the All England Club and features the famous Royal Box. The court capacity on Centre is 14,974 while Court No 1 can hold 12,345. There are 12 other grass courts in use throughout the tournament. Court 8 was where an 18-year-old John McEnroe made his SW19 bow against Egypt's Ismail El Shafei in 1977. In 1995, on Court 14, Tim Henman became the first player to be disqualified from Wimbledon when playing in a doubles match with Jeremy Bates against the United States' Jeff Tarango and Sweden's Henrik Holm. Henman was punished for whacking a ball in anger, accidentally hitting 16-year-old ball girl Caroline Hall in the head.

EastEnders fans open-mouthed as iconic BBC star appears in casino advert 21 years on from Walford exit - but do you recognise her?

EastEnders fans were left open-mouthed after an iconic BBC star appeared in a casino advert 21 years on from her Walford exit. Actress Hannah Waterman, 49, played Laura Beale in the hit show between 2000 and 2004. And while she was last seen on the Square more than two decades ago, some hardcore EastEnders fans have spotted her elsewhere. Taking to Reddit, one fan shared a snap of her posing as the model on the KenoGO advert in Australia. They asked: 'So I'm living in Australia currently and this advert keeps popping up on the TV and now social media. 'Is it Laura Beale's actress Hannah Waterman?' Taking to Reddit , one fan shared a snap of her posing as the model on the KenoGO advert in Australia (pictured) Another replied: 'Yeah looks like it, and I read somewhere that she moved to Australia a few years ago.' 'Yeah Hannah Waterman has lived in Australia for years. She was in Home and Away recently.' 'Looks like it lol!' Hannah took on the role of childminder and chip shop worker Laura. She first appeared on the show in 2000 and went on to be involved in a number of storylines. The character was married to Ian Beale (Adam Woodyatt), but also had an affair with Garry Hobbs (Ricky Groves). Laura was killed off in 2004 after she fell down the stairs and broke her neck. Although Hannah is arguably know for playing Laura in the BBC hit, she has landed various other telly roles over the years. The star played Maria in Casualty, Maria Thomas in Doctors, Fern Parker in The Bill, Emily Driscoll in New Dricks, Kate in The Afternoon Play and Ruby Macintosh in Holby City. She also played DI Collier in Doctors, Rosemary Miller in BAli 2002 and Magistrate in Home and Away, most recently. Hannah has also starred in various films including The Missing Postman, Patient 17 and Touch. The soap legend previously married Ricky Groves in 2006, however they split in 2010 and divorced in 2014. Hannah has been with Huw Higginson since 2010 and they share one child together. Over the past 12 years Hannah has lived in Down Under with her family. Her Instagram bio states: 'UK actress based in Sydney.' It comes after an iconic EastEnders star looks unrecognisable four decades on from her soap debut. Mary 'the Punk' Smith, played by Linda Davidson, featured in the serial drama's original cast when it first aired back in 1985. She was a single mother to her daughter Annie and viewers saw the complicated character struggle to raise her child and earn money all while sporting her distinctive style. From becoming a prostitute to various failed romances, Mary had several controversial storylines before she left the show in 1988. Linda reprised the role in 2019 when she attended the funeral of fellow original cast member Dr Harold Legg and again in 2022 for Dot Cotton's funeral.

Charli XCX in row with ‘boomers' over Glastonbury autotune

The British singer Charli XCX accused 'boomers' of being boring after she was criticised for using autotune at Glastonbury. The Grammy-winning musician, 32, denied that performing live with the pitch correction software 'makes you a fraud' following social media criticism of her set at Worthy Farm on Saturday night. Writing on her X account, she said: 'Really enjoying these boomer vibe comments on Glastonbury performance. It's super fascinating to me. 'Like the idea that singing with deliberate autotune makes you a fraud or that not having a traditional band suddenly means you must not be a 'real artist' is like, the most boring take ever. Yawn sorry just fell asleep xx.' A number of festival-goers, or those who watched the gig live on the BBC, accused Charli XCX of 'barely singing'. One wrote on X: 'This Glastonbury set by Charli XCX is one of the worst things I've ever seen in my life. Barely singing, autotune in the rare moments she does sing a bit and horrendous dancing.' Another wrote: 'One thing I will never understand is why Charli XCX is as big as she is, s—e music, sounds so bad she has to sing with so much autotune every time she performs live. What am I missing here?' Charli XCX, whose real name is Charlotte Emma Aitchison, responded to the critiques explaining that she 'enjoys the discourse' around the use of autotune. 'The best art is divisive' She explained: 'Imo [in my opinion], the best art is divisive and confrontational and often evolves into truly interesting culture rather than being like kind of ok, easily understood and sort of forgettable.' Her breakout album Brat became a cultural phenomenon last year, spawning viral hits, TikTok memes, Collins Dictionary's Word of the Year and three Grammy awards. The electropop musician has been well-known for her use of autotune in her music, previously stating on Saturday Night Live that it 'makes everything sound better'. 'Today, I consider myself to be a triple threat, which in England means I sing, I drink and I smoke,' Aitchison quipped in her monologue. 'I want to take a moment to thank someone who's been there for me my entire career: AutoTune.' However, the artist has also spoken about how the software has made her 'lazy' and less able to sing in tune when live. Speaking on the Tape Notes Podcast with producers AG Cook and George Daniel last year, she said: '[In my] early work, I can – I could sing in tune, but now I think I've gotten so lazy because I sing with autotune all the time. 'Like I never [go], 'I'm not singing with autotune'. Unless I'm doing karaoke, which I actively don't do, for this reason. I'm pretty out [of pitch] because my ear is so used to leaning in.' However, others watching her set on Saturday night said they 'loved' the use of her autotune. 'She knows her way around it, knows how to sing with it and manipulate it to create this fantastic sound that is entirely unique to her. It's the opposite of lazy, she's incredibly intentional,' one fan said on social media.
