Wimbledon 2025: Preview, favorites & top tennis products for the grass highlight

Last modified on17 July 2025

Wimbledon - the most traditional tournament in the tennis world - will once again be the focus of the sporting world in 2025. As the third Grand Slam tournament of the year, it is not only a sporting highlight, but also a cultural event. In this article, we give you a comprehensive overview of Wimbledon 2025, take a look at the top favorites and recommend high-quality equipment so that you are well prepared for the grass court season.

Wimbledon 2025: All the key dates at a glance

Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and has been held at the venerable All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in the London borough of Wimbledon since 1877. It is considered the most traditional Grand Slam and follows a strictly conservative set of rules that is unique in the world.

Venue: All England Club, Wimbledon, London, Great Britain

Date: Monday, June 30 - Sunday, July 13, 2025

Tournament category: Grand Slam

Surface: Lawn (Grass Court)

Prize money 2025: a record of over 50 million pounds is expected

Official ball: Slazenger - partner of the tournament since 1902

Dress code: Strict white (white-only policy) for all players

Grass is the fastest surface in tennis - the ball bounces flat and rewards offensive styles of play with a strong serve and net attack. This is precisely why Wimbledon titles are considered particularly prestigious.

The favorites at Wimbledon 2025 - Who will win the race?

Novak Djokovic

With 7 Wimbledon titles to his name Novak Djokovic is one of the most successful players in the tournament's history. Although the Serb will already be 38 years old in 2025, his excellent return game and experience on grass make him even more dangerous. If he stays fit, he could well win the title.

Fact: Djokovic has only lost two Wimbledon matches since 2018 - in the 2023 and 2024 finals against Carlos Alcaraz.

Carlos Alcaraz

The Spaniard won Wimbledon in 2023 in an epic five-set final against Djokovic. He defended his title the following year. His style of play combines explosive power with a creative touch - a rare combination on grass. Having already won two Grand Slam titles at a young age Carlos Alcaraz is one of the top favorites at Wimbledon 2025.

Tip: Watch out for his short backhand slices and stop shots - particularly effective on grass!

Jannik Sinner

The world number one Jannik Sinner has finally established himself among the world's top players in 2024. By winning the Australian Open and defending his title this year, he has proven that he can win Grand Slams. He already reached the semi-finals on grass in 2023 - and could go even further this year.

Playing style: Precise baseline strokes, excellent footwork, mentally extremely strong.

Iga Świątek

Iga Świątek dominates the WTA Tour on clay and hard court, but she has yet to win a major title on grass. However, she is working specifically on her technique on this fast surface. Her defensive game and consistency could lead to a breakthrough on grass in 2025.

Elena Rybakina

Elena RybakinaWimbledon 2022 winner - an absolute grass court specialist. Her serve is one of the most dangerous on the tour and her calm style of play perfectly matches the Wimbledon flair. If she stays fit, she will be one of the absolute favorites.

Coco Gauff

The US-American Coco Gauff has been one of the biggest stars on the WTA Tour since her victory at the 2023 US Open. At just 21 years old, she has an impressive combination of power, athleticism and mental maturity. Her backhand is one of the best in women's tennis and her confidence on the big stages is growing year on year.
Wimbledon suits her style of play well - fast points, aggressive returns and strong footwork make her a dangerous opponent on grass. She reached the third round in 2019 at the age of just 15 and has developed enormously since then. 2025 could be her year.

Particularly strong: serve, backhand, court coverage - and an unshakeable fighting spirit.
