The 2024 Wimbledon Championships is a Grand Slam tennis tournament that is currently taking place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, England. Carlos Alcaraz and Markéta Vondroušová are the reigning champions in the singles tournaments.
Tournament[edit]
The tournament will be played on grass courts, with all main draw matches scheduled to be played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon, from 1 July to 14 July 2024. Qualifying matches are scheduled from 24 to 27 June 2024 at the Bank of England Sports Ground in Roehampton.[1]
The 2024 Championships will be the 137th edition, the 130th staging of the Ladies' Singles Championship event, the 56th in the Open Era and the third Grand Slam tournament of the year. The tournament is to be run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and to be included in the 2024 ATP Tour and the 2024 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category, as well as the 2024 ITF tours for junior and wheelchair competitions respectively.[2]
The tournament is scheduled to consist of men's (singles and doubles), women's (singles and doubles), mixed doubles, boys' (under 18 – singles and doubles, under 14 – singles), girls' (under 18 – singles and doubles, under 14 – singles), which will also be a part of the Grade A category of tournaments for under 18, and singles and doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players. This edition will also feature gentlemen's and ladies' invitational doubles competitions and the new mixed invitational double draw introduced in 2022.[3][4]
This will be the tournament's third edition with a scheduled order of play on the first Sunday during the event, dubbed "Middle Sunday". Prior to the 2022 edition, the tournament had seen only four exceptions to the tradition of withholding competition on Middle Sunday to accommodate delayed matches during championships that were heavily disrupted by rain.[5]
This will be the first time since 1996 that neither of the Williams sisters appear in this tournament.[6]
