They will be joined by John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King, Pat Cash, Tracy Austin, Tim Henman and Annabel Croft. Advertisement 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. Advertisement 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. Latest news: Draper ready to carry post-Murray Wimbledon mantle Jack Draper is ready to channel his inner Andy Murray and feed off the hopes of a nation to prove he can be a genuine contender for the Wimbledon crown. Advertisement Despite having only won two matches at the All England Club in his career, the 22-year-old fourth seed is brimming with confidence as action begins. Draper, who goes into his home grand slam as the world No 4, is one of 23 British competitors in the singles draws – the most since 1984. Were he to go all the way, Draper would become the first British winner at Wimbledon since Murray triumphed for the second time nine years ago, and Draper even hinted that he is ready to echo those famous moments on Centre Court by being more demonstrative, feeding off the energy of a partisan support. 'I've always been someone who's not too over the top with things, but it's a great opportunity here at Wimbledon, and a great chance to hopefully show the British public what I'm able to do on a tennis court, and the type of personality I am,' he said. Advertisement Draper, whose first-round opponent is Argentina's Sebastian Baez, added he is '100 per cent' ready to gee up an expectant home crowd and acknowledged he is 'quite an intense player, so I'm always thinking about myself'. 'But I think at Wimbledon, especially, it's a great chance to get the crowd involved, and that's a real asset against these players,' he added. Jack Draper with Emma Raducanu before his practice session at Wimbledon - PA/John Walton Draper was beaten in the second round last year by compatriot Cameron Norrie in what was Murray's final appearance at Wimbledon. His prospects have been hugely enhanced since then, however, as he reached the US Open semi-finals and won his first Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells. When asked whether he could be less conservative in his celebrations than he had in the US tournaments, he added: 'We'll have to find out.' Advertisement Play gets under way in what is expected to be the hottest ever start to Wimbledon, with temperatures to hit 35 degrees Celsius by Tuesday. None of Britain's top hopes have been handed ideal draws, however Emma Raducanu, also a British No 1, has former champion Marketa Vondrousova and the world No 1 Aryna Sabalenka blocking her route to a place in week two. Raducanu finds herself up against the Welsh teenager Mimi Xu in round one. Sabalenka could await in what would be a daunting third-round encounter. Draper, meanwhile, is in the same half of the draw as the top-seeded Jannik Sinner, seven-time champion Novak Djokovic and Americans Ben Shelton and Tommy Paul. He could play Lorenzo Sonego in round two. Djokovic, chasing a 25th slam at the age of 38, would be a likely quarter-final opponent. Advertisement Katie Boulter and Sonay Kartal, both rivals to Raducanu's British No 1 ranking, also face tricky first rounds. Boulter plays the former world No 2 Paula Badosa while Kartal, whom like Fearnley recently cracked the world's top 50, faces the former French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko. The hottest ever day at Wimbledon was on July 1 2015, when temperatures reached 35.7C. The warmest opening day on record was on June 25 2001, when temperatures hit 29.3C. 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. Advertisement 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.

Tennis fans demand rule change after 'dumb' Wimbledon tradition infuriates players

Fritz was in the middle of a remarkable comeback against French player Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard after dropping the first two sets 6-7, 6-7, 6-4, 7-6. Heading into the fifth set with momentum going Fritz's way the chair umpire advised the players the match would be suspended because it was set to head past the 11pm curfew. There was still 40 minutes of play available until the curfew and Fritz let out his frustrations having argued with the chair umpire to keep the match going. He wasn't the only one frustrated with boos ringing around the arena as spectators wanted to see the end of the match they had paid for, which could have finished within the allotted time. Fritz was clearly keen to keep going having won the last two sets and not wanting to let the opportunity slip.

Last year, Novak Djokovic was dragged into the frustration with his round 16 match suspended. The day session started at 2.30pm, but Djokovic didn't enter centre court for his night session match till around 9pm. Viewers have been calling for the centre court matches to start slightly earlier in the day to avoid disruptions. Djokovic echoed this sentiment when he said starting earlier on centre court could prevent a match being delayed and resuming the next day under different conditions. Rain delays in London also often cause havoc with the schedule. Fritz and Perricard faced the possibility of finishing the match on day one of the tournament, which would have caused no delays the following day. Adding in centre court has a roof, which would allow them to block out some of the noise, fans have become increasingly frustrated with the rule.
