Wimbledon 2025

Venue: All England Club, June 30 – 13 .

Three British players submitted a Friday application for a spot in the fourth round of Wimbledon, but Emma Raducanu will need to defeat the world number one to qualify.

In the final match on Centre Court, British No. 1 Raducanu will face Aryna Sabalenka, who has triumphed in the past three Grand Slams.

At the same time as Wimbledon last year, Raducanu defeated three of her top ten opponents, including Maria Sakkari, who was then world number nine.
