How to watch Wimbledon 2025: live stream tennis online for FREE, order of play, TV schedule

You're still thinking about that final, aren't you? A repeat sure would be nice, but only if Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner earn it as the last of the 128 still standing. Amazingly, of the 10 top-ranked women only Jasmine Paolini has ever reached the Wimbledon final, let alone won it. That was 12 months ago, when she was beaten by the criminally underrated Barbora Krejcikova.

You can watch Wimbledon 2025 from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for free.

The grand slam of grand slams, the most major of the majors, Wimbledon is a special event. The replacement of the line judges with an automated system this year, however, feels like the loss of something sacred. Their immaculate get-up, characterful calls and even their occasional errors, prompting the communal slow clap that would meet every challenge, will be sorely missed.

While it's tough to envisage Jack Draper mixing it up with the likes of Alcaraz and Sinner, his ascent to world No.4 has, for the first time since Andy Murray's heyday, raised hopes amongst the locals. Though he hasn't won a slam in nearly two years, Novak Djokovic looks as likely a contender as anyone. The seven-time champion has laid low since Roland Garros in an effort to conserve his mental and physical fitness — a triumph on the grass courts would be a record 25th grand slam.

Coco Gauff's French Open triumph and Iga Swiatek's extended slump has put a bit of pressure on Aryna Sabalenka. Despite being virtually ever-present at the top of the rankings for the past 12 months, she only has the US Open title to show for it, and she's never made it beyond the semi-finals in SW19. They won't be among the top seeds, but Marketa Vondrousova, Elena Rybakina, Beatriz Haddad Maia and Karolina Muchova could be dark horses. An untimely thigh injury may have put paid to Krejcikova's title defence.
