Written by Wimbledon is one of the oldest tennis tournaments in the world and arguably the most prestigious Grand Slam on the calendar.
Founded in 1877, Wimbledon is held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London. Of course, the Wimbledon singles crown is often considered the most coveted trophy in world tennis. Spencer Gore was the first British player to win the inaugural Wimbledon singles title in 1877 and a first-class cricketer who played for Surrey County Cricket Club (1874-1875).
In 1877, the first Wimbledon lawn tennis championship was held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. The club had previously been named the All England Croquet Club, before tennis was added two years prior. Spencer Gore won the Gentleman’s Singles, defeating William Marshal 6-1, 6-2, 6-4 on July 19, 1877. Gore was the first player known to use the volley technique, and is therefore considered the originator of that playing style.
As the reigning champion, Gore didn’t have to play through the entire tournament in the following year’s championship. Instead, he played in a challenge round against the winner of the All-Comers tournament. He lost the Men’s Singles challenge round to Frank Hadow 7-5, 6-1, 9-7 and did not compete in the Wimbledon championship again after that match.
Who Will Win Wimbledon 2025?
Now, we look ahead to Wimbledon 2025 with high anticipation. Considering the players’ performances in the 2024 season and early 2025, several big names have shown dominance on grass courts and in the Grand Slams.
In the men’s singles draw, after winning Wimbledon 2024, Roland Garros 2025, and the Australian Open 2024, Carlos Alcaraz is undoubtedly the main favorite to defend his title. His consistency in major tournaments, coupled with his excellent adaptability to grass courts, makes him a serious threat. However, Jannik Sinner, currently ranked world No.1 and having shown outstanding performance, especially at the Australian Open 2025, will be his toughest competitor. Let’s not forget Novak Djokovic either, despite a drop in his ATP ranking, his unparalleled experience at Wimbledon makes him a dangerous dark horse, particularly if he reaches peak form. Players like Alexander Zverev and Jack Draper have also shown significant improvement and could be surprising contenders.
Meanwhile, in the women’s singles draw, the competition is just as fierce. Aryna Sabalenka, who won the Australian Open 2024 and reached the French Open 2025 final, will be one of the strong candidates. However, the defending Wimbledon 2024 champion, Barbora Krejcikova, will surely fight hard to retain her crown. Additionally, Coco Gauff, who just won the French Open 2025, and also Madison Keys, who won the Australian Open 2025, carry significant momentum. Names like Iga Swiatek, Elena Rybakina, and Jasmine Paolini are always threats in every Grand Slam, especially with their abilities on fast grass courts.
With a combination of rising young talent and experienced veterans still hungry for titles, Wimbledon 2025 promises drama and epic matches that are difficult to predict. Factors such as the draw, players’ physical condition, and the ability to handle pressure on Centre Court will determine who lifts this most coveted trophy.
