The crown jewel of tennis is back and bigger than ever in 2024 as the Wimbledon Championships begin at the All England Club in London. A purse of £50 million ($63.4 million) will be shared over the second weekend in July as the world’s best players land in Britain and try to etch their names into tennis immortality.
There is no bigger stage, no better competition and no greater glory than Wimbledon, and after Carlos Alcaraz defeated seven-time champion Novak Djokovic to win an epic playoff in 2023, tennis fans around the world are anticipating another tournament of the highest caliber.
However, despite the previous successes of Alcaraz and Djokovic, it is new world number one Jannik Sinner who is top of the seeding list for this year’s tournament, having already won the Australian Open and the Miami Masters this year and having just reached the semi-finals of the French Open.
In the women’s singles, world number one Iga Swiatek is the top seed after winning her third consecutive French Open title at Roland Garros. She will be hoping to improve on her best Wimbledon result – the 2023 quarterfinals – but there could be another big upset after Marketa Vondrousova became the first ever unseeded woman to win a Wimbledon final last year.
We’re ready for two weeks of world-class tennis at the biggest tournament of all time. And to make sure you get all the action from the All England Club, The Sporting News has you covered.
