Wimbledon 2024
One of the oldest and most prestigious tennis tournaments, the Wimbledon Open, has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, since 1877. The 137th edition of the tournament, the 130th staging of the Ladies' Singles Championship event, and the 56th in the Open Era will take place from July 1, 2024, to July 14, 2024.
Wimbledon, commonly known as the Championships, is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments that have been played on outdoor grass courts, with retractable roofs with the two main courts since 2019. The tournament winner in the singles and doubles category will be awarded 2000 points. The Wimbledon Open 2024 winner in the singles and doubles category will take home a cheque worth £50,000,000. For the year 2024, the tournament organizers have raised the prize money to 11.86%, which is greater than the previous year.
Wimbledon Open 2024 is the only major tournament still held on grass. It is the only Grand Slam that still enforces a curfew at night, although matches can now go until 11 p.m. with lights on. The tournament will have 128 players in a single draw and 64 final teams in a doubles draw. The upcoming edition will be the second edition of the tournament, which is scheduled to play on the opening Sunday, or "Middle Sunday". Two-time champion Andy Murray is expected to return to the court.
Wimbledon Open History
Originally known as "The All England Croquet Club," the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club is a private organization that was established on July 23, 1868. Its original location was on Wimbledon's Nursery Road, just off Worple Road.
On July 9, 1877, the first Wimbledon Championship got underway, with the Gentlemen's Singles being the only match played. The tournament, which was to last five days, attracted 22 men who each paid a guinea to participate. William Marshall was defeated by veteran Harrovian rackets player Spencer Gore 6-1, 6-2, and 6-4 in 48 minutes.
The ladies' singles competition was added to the club in 1884, and the men's doubles event was moved over from the Oxford University Lawn Tennis Club. In 1913, events for women's and mixed doubles were added.
Due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the All England Club declared in April 2022 that players from Belarus and Russia would not be allowed to participate in the competition. Participation by neutral athletes is also prohibited, unlike the ATP and WTA.
The ATP, ITF, and WTA declared on May 20, 2022, that they would not award ranking points for the competition because they believed the prohibition was unilateral and discriminated against players based on nationality. The All England Club lifted the ban on Russian and Belarusian players on March 31, 2023.
Former World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz emerged victorious, defeating four-time defending champion Novak Djokovic in the final. Marketa Vondrousova is the defending champion in the WTA category in singles categories. It was her first Grand Slam title in her career. The duo of Wesley Koolhof and Neal Skupski were the winners in the men’s doubles category. Hsieh Su-wei and Barbora Strýcová have won the Wimbledon Open 2024 title in the women’s doubles category.
