Who is playing in Wimbledon 2025? There are plenty of big names to watch for during the 2025 grass-court Major, including Carlos Alcaraz, World. No. 1 Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev, Taylor Fritz, Jack Draper, Lorenzo Musetti and Tommy Paul on the men's side.

But the world's premier tennis players nonetheless faced off on the venue's famous grass courts as temperatures soared past 90 degrees Fahrenheit, or more than 32 degrees Celsius, making it the hottest opening day for the tournament since it began 148 years ago.

Play begins at 11am and can run for 12 hours. Some fans may not spend the whole day at SW19 - travel plans may mean some arrive a few hours after play begins, or leave before it ends. A ticket to one of the two show courts at Wimbledon also entitles fans to watch matches on any of the outside courts.
