Wimbledon is always a thrill to watch, and the 2025 edition is no exception. Perhaps, the biggest shock so far has been Coco Gauff’s shocking first round exit. The reigning French Open champion and world No. 2 was eliminated in just 78 minutes by Ukraine’s Dayana Yastremska, who delivered the match of her life with a 7-6, 6-1 win.
The third Grand Slam of the pro tennis season and the oldest tennis tournament in the world, Wimbledon returns for its 138th edition with all the tradition and tension fans expect. Played on the iconic grass courts of the All England Club, fans get to watch the best of the best tennis players compete for one of the most prestigious titles in the world of tennis.

Wimbledon Traditions
Like many other major sporting events, from the Kentucky Derby to the Indy 500, there are many traditions associated with Wimbledon. Below are some of the more well-known tennis traditions still practiced today.
Grass Courts: Unlike many other tennis championships, Wimbledon has stuck with the original grass court. The French Open is played on clay courts, while the US Open and Australian Open are played on a cushioned cement-type court.
Dress Code: Wimbledon is known for its strict dress code of all white attire for the athletes competing. This tradition has been around since the tournament’s origination in 1877.
Strawberries and Cream: This unorthodox concession is served at Wimbledon and has become the quintessential snack of the tournament.
Regal Attendance: Expect to see the Royal Family at the event seated in their Royal Box, and maybe see the competitors acknowledge their presence with a curtsy or bow.
