Overview

The 2025 Wimbledon Championships, held from June 30 to July 13 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London, marked the 138th edition of the prestigious Grand Slam. This year introduced several historic moments, technological advancements, and dramatic upsets, making it one of the most memorable tournaments in recent history.
