<h1>Wimbledon 2025: Everything You Need To Know About This Year’s Grass Major</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Wimbledon is the third major of the year, and perhaps the most famous and highly anticipated due to its traditions and uniqueness compared to the other three that take place throughout the year.</p> <p>At Sportsbet, we have you covered ahead of the showcase, as we provide you with all the details you need to know about this year’s event.</p> <p>If this year’s event is a competition you want to get involved in this year, we suggest taking a look at our <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/tennis/predictions/how-to-bet-on-wimbledon-beginners-guide">beginner’s guide to betting at Wimbledon</a> to understand the popular bets possible to make and the strategies that can maximise the possibility of a winning bet when the tennis hits the grass in SW19.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Wimbledon 2025: Key Dates &amp; Prize Money</h2> <p>The 2025 edition of Wimbledon, which will be the 138th iteration of the competition, began on June 23, when players started the qualification process to be included in the main draw of the event.</p> <p>The main event will begin on June 30 and will conclude two weeks later on July 14, with the Men’s singles final the last game to be played at 02:00 AEST (as is the Women’s a day earlier). It will be two hours later than the traditional 00:00 AEST time, as the tournament’s organisers want to maximise viewer numbers.</p> <p>The prize pot for the 2025 tournament has been set at AUD$ 112,100,000. Carlos Alcaraz will defend the men’s title he won in 2024, with Barbara Krejcikova hoping to repeat her incredible victory in the women’s draw last year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Where is Wimbledon Played?</h2> <p>Wimbledon is played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, which is located on Church Road in SW19, Wimbledon, London, England.</p> <p>The club was founded on July 23, 1868, as The All England Croquet Club but was subsequently rebranded to its current name in 1899 after being known as The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club from 1877.</p> <p>There are a total of 18 Championship Courts used throughout the competition, which includes Centre Court and No. 1 Court. These are the two most recognisable, as the finals of each discipline are played across these. Centre Court is the most famous of the two, boasting a retractable roof and the Royal Box. An additional 14 Grass Practice Courts are located in Aorangi Park, while a further six Grass Practice Courts are made available during The Championships.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>Wimbledon Traditions</h2> <p>While the grass surface makes it particularly unique, it is synonymous worldwide with some of its lasting traditions. Although there has been a relaxation of the rules regarding player uniforms in recent years, the code largely retains the all-white standard that has been in place since 1963, with a ban on large colour blocks.</p> <p>Other traditions associated with the competition include eating strawberries and cream, as well as drinking Pimms. It is also an event that lacks significant sponsorship exposure compared to others, with advertising being relatively low-key, adding to the classiness of the major.</p>
