We run through everything you need to know about Wimbledon 2023, including key dates, the schedule, the draw, favourites for the title, and how to watch…

When is Wimbledon 2023?

The main-draw action at Wimbledon starts on Monday, July 3.

The women’s final is on Saturday, July 15 and the men’s final is on Sunday, July 16.

Wimbledon qualifying runs from June 26 to June 29 and is held at Community Sport Centre Roehampton.

When is the Wimbledon draw?

The draw for the men’s and women’s singles will be made on Friday, June 30.

What is the Wimbledon schedule?

For the second year in a row there will be play across all 14 days, meaning players will not get the traditional Middle Sunday off as they did in the past.

The fourth-round singles matches and the quarter-finals will both be spread across two days.

Play on all outside courts will start at 11am UK time, with Court 1 beginning at 1pm and Centre Court at 1.30pm, until finals weekend.

Can Russian and Belarusian players compete at Wimbledon?

Yes.

They will need to comply with certain conditions, such as agreeing not to support the Russian and/or Belarusian states or their regimes and leaders.

The decision means Belarusian women’s world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka and Russian men’s world No. 3 Daniil Medvedev will be among the players returning to Wimbledon.

There will also be ranking points on offer again after they were removed from the Grand Slam last year following the ban on Russian and Belarusian players.

Who are the favourites to win Wimbledon?

Defending champion Novak Djokovic has the chance to equal Roger Federer’s record of eight Wimbledon titles. He can also complete the third part of the Calendar Slam, having won the Australian Open and French Open this year.

Elena Rybakina should start as one of the leading contenders for the women’s title after lifting the trophy last year.

She could be challenged by world No. 2 Aryna Sabalenka and world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, who is yet to make it past the third round at SW19.

Which Brits are playing Wimbledon?

Cameron Norrie will lead the British charge after making the Wimbledon semi-finals last year.

There could be the prospect of no British women gaining direct entry into the main draw.

Boulter, Jodie Burrage, Harriet Dart and Heather Watson could need wild cards unless their rankings improve, or they will have to come through qualifying to reach the main draw.

What’s the Wimbledon prize money?

The prize money has increased to a record £44,700,000, an 11.2% rise from last year.

The men’s and women’s singles champions will each pocket £2,350,000 while the runners-up will get £1,175,000.
