Wimbledon 2025

Venue: All England Club, June 30 – 13 .

As the tournament’s second day approaches, nine more British players will take to the courts on Tuesday.

Emma Raducanu, Katie Boulter, and Oliver Tarvet, a qualifier, were the only Britons to win the first day of their home championships, which is a record for the Open era.

At his home Grand Slam, British number one Jack Draper was given a difficult draw.

South-west London is expected to experience another hot day, with temperatures set to reach 32C once more.

At 13:30 BST, Barbora Krejcikova, the reigning champion of women’s tennis, opens play on Center Court.

In the run-up to Wimbledon, the Czech will face the world’s number 56 Alexandra Eala of the Philippines, who suffered an injury scare at Eastbourne.

Novak Djokovic, the seven-time champion who is competing for a record-equaling 25th Grand Slam title, squares off against Alexandre Muller of France, followed by Coco Gauff, the French Open champion, and Dayana Yastremska, the other day.

Jannik Sinner, the reigning world number one, takes on Luca Nardi, the Italian compatriot, from 13:00 BST, before Petra Kvitova, the final Wimbledon champion, squares off against Emma Navarro, the 10th seed.

One of nine British players who is playing on day two is Draper.

In an effort to regain his best form, Dan Evans has so far had an emotionally charged summer, defeating two of his top-20 opponents. Right after Heather Watson takes on Denmark’s Clara Tauson in the opening match (11:00), he is second against fellow Briton Jay Clarke on court 12.

Due to injury, Jodie Burrage missed the previous year’s Wimbledon. She defeats American Caty McNally on court 18 and is third against her.

Johannus Monday, a second-ranked British wildcard, will face 13th-ranked US champion Tommy Paul, while Pedro Martinez from Spain will face George Loffhagen.
