Emma Raducanu’s women’s singles campaign at Wimbledon continues today when she takes on No. 9 Maria Sakkari on Centre Court.
Raducanu’s excellent form so far this year means she has been installed as the fourth favourite for the title, behind Iga Swiatek, Coco Gauff and Elena Rybakina. British wildcard Sonay Kartal will take on Gauff in the third match of the day on Court One.
In the men’s event, today’s favourite is Carlos Alcaraz against Frances Tiafoe on Centre Court.

Where is Wimbledon held?
The tournament will, as always, be held at the All England Lawn Tennis Club on Church Road, Wimbledon. The competition has been held at this venue since 1922, when the championships were moved from their previous location on Worple Road.
How do I buy Wimbledon tickets?
The Wimbledon public voting is closed, meaning that most show court tickets are not available. However, one of Wimbledon’s traditions is ‘The Queue’. Each day, fans can queue for a show court ticket or a grounds pass, depending on what is available by the time they reach the front of the queue.
Each day 500 tickets will be sold for Centre Court (excluding the last four days), No 1 Court and No 2 Court. A Ground Pass gives fans access to all courts except the show courts.
Tickets for Centre Court, No 1 Court and No 2 Court are available daily from 3pm at the ticket booth north of Court 18.

How to watch Wimbledon on TV and streaming in the UK
The BBC will broadcast the event on BBC One, BBC Two and iPlayer. Clare Balding will once again lead the presenting team after replacing Sue Barker last year, and is likely to be joined by former Wimbledon champions including John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Billie Jean King and Pat Cash.
The expert team includes 2021 champion Ash Barty and 2022 finalist Nick Kyrgios, although the latter’s appointment has been criticised. Caroline Nokes, chair of the women and equalities commission, said the company “should be ashamed” of itself for agreeing terms after he admitted assaulting an ex-girlfriend in 2023.
Under British law, Wimbledon is a Category B television event. This means that while the men’s and women’s finals must be free to watch, there is no guarantee that the rest of the tournament will not one day be shown on pay TV.
How to Watch Wimbledon on TV in the US
ESPN has the rights to show more than 140 hours of Wimbledon coverage in the U.S. In 2021, ESPN signed a 12-year deal to broadcast the event. Coverage begins each day at 6 a.m. Eastern Time.
How much is Wimbledon prize money?
In 2024, the total prize fund will be £50 million, an increase of 11.9 percent on last year. The men’s and women’s singles champions will each take home £2.7 million. First-round singles losers will receive £60,000.
In 2023, the total prize pool was £44.7 million, with the men’s and women’s champions taking home £2.35 million and the runners-up £1.175 million.
Wimbledon Court and Stadium Guide
Wimbledon has five show courts: Centre Court, No 1 Court, No 2 Court, No 3 Court, Court 12 and Court 18. Centre is the largest court at the All England Club and has the famous Royal Box. The court capacity at Centre is 14,974, while Court 1 can hold 12,345.
There are 12 other grass courts in use during the tournament. Court 8 was where an 18-year-old John McEnroe made his SW19 debut against Egyptian Ismail El Shafei in 1977.
In 1995, Tim Henman became the first player to be disqualified at Wimbledon on court 14. He was playing doubles with Jeremy Bates against American Jeff Tarango and Swede Henrik Holm. He hit a ball in anger and accidentally hit 16-year-old ball girl Caroline Hall on the head.
