Wimbledon 2025: Storylines, draws, prize money, live streaming info
The 138th edition of Wimbledon is scheduled to be held from June 30 to July 13 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club (AELTC) in London, England. The grass Major is the third Slam of the year. Having been held since 1877, it is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. In men's singles, all eyes will be on two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz. The Spaniard arrives at The Championships on an 18-match unbeaten run. The 22-year-old is high on confidence after beating World No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the longest-ever French Open final, which lasted five hours 29 minutes after saving three match points. Also, his preparation for Wimbledon went according to plan as he clinched his second title at the Queen's Club Championships. Serbia's Novak Djokovic, who hasn't won a Slam since the US Open in 2023, will look to match Roger Federer's all-time men's record of eight Wimbledon titles in the Open Era (since 1968). Barbora Krejcikova will try to be the first woman since USA's Serena Williams (2015-16) to defend her crown at Wimbledon. However, the Czech player arrives at the grass Major after an injury scare, having been forced to withdraw from the Eastbourne tournament due to a thigh issue. The women's field, like the previous seven editions, is wide open for this year as there is no overwhelming favourite. For the first time at Wimbledon, line judges will be replaced with the electronic line calling system that is in place at tournaments worldwide. Draw Men's draw Women's draw How did last year's edition go? In 2024, Alcaraz met Djokovic in the men's final for the second straight year. However, unlike the 2023 edition, which went to a deciding set, Alcaraz brushed aside Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6(4) to clinch his second Wimbledon and overall, fourth Major title. In women's singles, Krejcikova took down Italy's Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 to claim her maiden Wimbledon title and overall, second Major after her French Open 2021 triumph. In Krejcikova, Wimbledon got a new women's champion for the seventh edition in a row. The Finnish-British pair of Harri Heliovaara and Henry Patten won the men's doubles crown, while Czechia's Katerina Siniakova and the USA's Taylor Townsend emerged victorious in women's doubles. Jan Zielinski of Poland and Hsieh Su-wei of Chinese Taipei clinched the mixed doubles title. Most titles in Open Era Men's Singles Roger Federer (8) Women's Singles Martina Navratilova (9) Men's Doubles Todd Woodbridge (9) Women's Doubles Martina Navratilova (7) Mixed Doubles Martina Navratilova (4), Leander Paes (4) Prize money The total prize money for the upcoming edition is £53.5 million, an increase of seven per cent from 2024. Both men's and women's singles champions will receive £3 million each, which is 11.1 per cent more than what Alcaraz and Krejcikova received last year. Full prize money breakdown Where to watch? In India, viewers will be able to watch the live telecast of Wimbledon 2025 on the Star Sports Network and stream the matches live on the JioHotstar app/website.

Queen Camilla's telling Wimbledon remark that laid Royal Family drama bare
Queen Camilla paid a surprise visit to Wimbledon last year amid a tumultuous time for the Royal Family - and during her day out at the tennis she made a telling remark If there's one sporting tournament that's guaranteed to bring in a royal crowd - it's Wimbledon. The tennis grand slam tournament returns for another year on Monday and regular royal spectators usually include the Princess of Wales, Zara and Mike Tindall - and even Queen Camilla. Last year, she made an unnannounced visit to the All England Club to watch the quarter finals action from the Royal Box on Centre Court with her sister Annabel Elliot. The outing came during a tumultuous time for Camilla, who during the early part of 2024 had been keeping the royal show on the road while her husband King Charles and Kate took time out from public duties as they were both diagnosed with cancer. But amid the worrying time, she was able to relax somewhat on a day out at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, where she wore a cream linen dress featuring large giraffe motifs by Anna Valentine, with a Jack Russell brooch from Van Cleef and Arpels. On arriving at the championships, she met former player Laura Robson, who works in international player relations. And tellingly the Queen told her about her day out that it was it was "so nice to be able to escape for a day". Meanwhile, Camilla also praised head gardener Martyn Falconer, who has worked at Wimbledon for 25 years and cares for all the plants around the grounds. "It all looks fantastic. It always looks absolutely perfect," she told him. She also met another Camila – the daughter of Mexican doubles player Santiago Gonzalez – after the youngster boldly introduced herself to the royal guest. The Queen said "fancy having two Camillas here" and asked if she would like a picture together, and had a peek at Camila's Wimbledon pass by holding her lanyard to read it. She spent time chatting to ball girl Natalia, from Burntwood School in Wandsworth, and ball boy Yug, from Harris Academy Wimbledon, asking them which courts they worked on and how much they had been enjoying the experience. It has not been confirmed yet if Kate is set to attend SW19 during the Wimbledon fortnight this year as she is still gradually returning to royal duties following her cancer treatment. Confusion was sparked last week when it was announced that Kate, who is in remission from cancer, would not be attending the second day of Royal Ascot festival. It came after her name originally appeared on the official list of those taking part in a carriage procession alongside her husband Prince William as well as the King and Queen. When it was confirmed that she would not be attending, sources said she is still trying to find the right balance following her cancer diagnosis and subsequent chemotherapy treatment.

The Princess Of Wales' Best Wimbledon Looks, As We Anticipate Her 2025 Appearances
The Princess of Wales never looks better (or more enthusiastic!) than during The Championships at Wimbledon. As patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club since 2016, Kate Middleton has made her love of tennis known by turning up at the annual event year after year and usually a few times throughout the fortnight. She also saves her brightest, boldest colours for the tennis tournament, becoming a radiant presence in the Royal Box. British labels like Emilia Wickstead and Roksanda are amongst her favourites for the occasion, but so too is fashion-favourite Alessandra Rich. Her polka dot selections from the London-based Italian designer remain amongst the Princess' most well-lauded by fashion folk. What is most energising about the Princess at Wimbledon though is her reactions. While most Royal occasions call for steely disposition, Wimbledon sees her throw caution to the wind and move from spectated to spectator. We see wide smiles, hands on face, and as many 'oohs' and 'aahs' as you can imagine as the rallies only lengthen, her wide-rim sunglasses struggling to hide any favouritism. With the 2025 Championships beginning on 30 June, the world waits in anticipation to see the Princess traverse the steps into the Royal Box. Last year, following her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she was welcomed with a lengthy standing ovation. And the same sort of reaction could be anticipated for Wimbledon 2025, too. Will the Princess of Wales be at Wimbledon 2025? Certainly. It'll only be in the case of something truly remarkable that'll stop the tennis fan from attending (giving birth to the future King Prince George and a global pandemic putting a spanner in the works previously) and with it the promise of a new trunk of noteworthy summer looks, too. Until then, the Princess of Wales' best Wimbledon looks thus far. The Princess of Wales was greeted with a round of applause when she arrived in the Royal Box at Centre Court wearing a purple Safiyaa dress. She chose a green Roland Mouret dress to present Carlos Alcaraz with the winner's title. She chose sunshine yellow by Roksanda, a dress she wore first during a trip to the Caribbean. Her perfect blow dry was worn with a forest green Emilia Wickstead dress and white pumps. Attending with her husband, Prince William, Catherine looked especially fashion forward in a blue polka dot Alessandra Rich dress styled with slingback stilettos and a Mulberry bag. Catherine stepped onto Centre Court in baby blue Emilia Wickstead to give Novak Djokovic the winner's trophy. In 2021, she chose a blush pink Beulah dress. She chose a navy polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich for the final day of the 2022 Championships. A citrus Self-Portrait skirt suit for the thirteenth day of the 2023 Championships. She wore dark green Dolce & Gabbana dress with gold button detailing to watch the women's finals with her sister, Pippa Middleton, and sister-in-law, Meghan Markle. The Duchess of Cambridge arrived with her sister-in-law, Meghan Markle, in tow and wore a printed tea dress and carried a Dolce & Gabbana bag. Attending with her friends, Kate Middleton wore a brilliant white dress with a black cardigan. Freelancer
