The 2024 championships take place from Monday 30 June to Sunday 13 July on the iconic grass courts in south-west London.  Champions will be crowned on the weekend of 12/13 July.  They will follow in the footsteps of finest players in the history of the game. 

Read on for our ‘Ones to Watch’ and how to get 🎟️ on the day tickets to see the action.  

WIMBLEDON CHAMPIONSHIPS – ONES TO WATCH IN THE SINGLES

In the women’s draw all eyes will be on Barbora Krejcikova who triumphed in three sets in 2024 in a battle of the first-time finalists over Jasmine Paolini.

Others in the mix will include Marketa Vondrousova who made history in 2023 as the first unseeded women to become the Wimbledon Ladies’ single champion.  Vondrousova beat Ons Jabeur in the final.  Jabeur also lost in the final in 2022.  This time to Elena Rybakina.  On that occasion Rybakina set a record as the youngest Ladies’ singles champion.

Krejcikova, Voundrousova, Jabeur and Rybakina are likely to face stiff competition from Poland’s Iga Swiatek – the world No.1 and four-time major winner.  World No.4 Coco Gauff from the USA will also be a threat.  

In the men’s draw defending champion Carlos Alcaraz will look to defend the title he retained in 2024 against seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic.  Alcaraz followed up his stunning five-set thriller of a 2023 final over Djokovic with a straight sets win.  

World No.1 (at the time of writing) Jannik Sinner will look to improve upon his performance last year when he was knocked out, in five sets, at the quarter-final stage by Daniel Medvedev.

The Queue

🎟️ Tickets on the day via the Queue.  Wimbledon remains one of the very few major sporting events where you can buy premium tickets on the day of play.  For many, *‘the Queue’ (link to official guide below) at The Championships is as much a part of the Wimbledon experience as the tennis itself.

It operates daily with an opportunity to purchase either one of the limited Show Court tickets available.  These are for Centre Court and No.2 Court the first ten days only, and for No.1 Court each day of the event.  Alternatively you can purchase a Grounds ticket.  This gives access to unreserved seating and standing areas for Courts 3-18, as well as entry to the Wimbledon Museum which is well worth a visit.  Tickets are non-transferable.  They are sold on a best available, one per person queuing basis.

The Queue often starts the evening before (for those seeking Show Court tickets) and increases very early in the morning.  Queue space is limited.  Checking the status of the Queue on X @Wimbledon, or wimbledon.com, before travelling is recommended.

The Queue starts in Wimbledon Park.  All early or late evening entries to the Park need to use Wimbledon Park Road gates only (signage is Car Park 10), which is a 5-minute walk from Southfields Station.  On arrival, proceed to the end of the Queue where you will be issued with a Queue Card.

Wimbledon has a Grounds capacity limit.  Once reached entry is only be possible as people leave the Grounds for the day.  

If you’re planning to join the Queue we recommend reading this official 2023 Wimbledon Guide To Queuing – which includes a map of the Queue and the Grounds – before heading to Wimbledon.

Ticket Resale in the Grounds

In the Grounds itself a Ticket Resale Kiosk will be in operation north of Court 18.  This is near the top of the St Mary’s Walk, next to The Hill.  You can purchase returned Show Court tickets for £15 for Centre Court and £10 for No.1 Court and No.2 Court tickets.  Note: these are subject to availability and not on sale before 3pm.
