The Grand Slam is about to happen, and the stakes are higher than ever. If you’re a hardcore tennis fan ready to watch and bet on the most anticipated tennis tournament in the world, we’ve prepared the complete guide for you. Here are the Wimbledon 2019 dates you need to mark on your calendar, how and where to watch it, and other exciting things to expect.
Tournament schedule
This year, The Championships will be held starting the 1st of July 2019 (Monday) until the 14th of July 2019 (Sunday). Women’s Finals is set to happen on July 13 and Men’s Finals will be on the following day, July 14, bringing the tournament to a close. Other key Wimbledon 2019 dates include June 28, which is when the official draw will be announced at 10am as the qualifying stage of the tournament will take place on June 25 to June 28 at the Bank of England Club. Expect the seeds to be released a few days earlier.
How to follow the game
If you’re living in the US, you can watch Wimbledon on your television via sports channels like ESPN and ESPN2, or BBC’s sports coverage. In the previous years, the Men’s Final has started at 2pm (UK time) or 9am (ET) in the US, but the official timings for this year’s Wimbledon have yet to be announced.
What’s new
Aside from these notable Wimbledon 2019 dates, the new additions to the Grand Slam are just as important. For the first time, Wimbledon has featured a tie-break at 12-all in the final set to eliminate the marathon matches which usually caused delays in schedules and player performance in the past tournaments. This is also the first time that the women’s draw will consist of 104 direct entrant players in the women's singles with 16 qualifiers and eight wildcards.
