Why Wimbledon matters in 2026
Wimbledon runs in London, Great Britain from 29 Jun – 12 Jul, played on fast natural grass. Bounce sits lower than on any other tour surface and points run shorter, which puts a premium on the serve and the forecourt. It is a Grand Slam, one of the four biggest events on the tennis calendar. The singles champion takes 2,000 ranking points, plus the largest prize pool of any event on tour.
First held in 1877, played at All England Club, London. Play starts in 57 days, on Monday 29 June, with the main draw running through to Sunday 12 July.
