Wimbledon 2025

Dates: 30 June-13 July Venue: All England Club

Britain’s Alfie Hewett began his Wimbledon title defence with a comfortable victory against Spain’s Daniel Caverzaschi in 54 minutes.

A 10-time major champion in singles as well as a 22-time champion in doubles alongside compatriot Gordon Reid, Hewett secured a comprehensive 6-1 6-2 win on court three.

The 27-year-old finally clinched a maiden title at SW19 last year to complete a career Grand Slam.

The second seed will face China’s Ji Zhenxu in the quarter-finals and cannot meet doubles partner Reid until the final.

Hewett and Reid will get their campaign for a third consecutive doubles title under way on Wednesday.
