Who are the defending Wimbledon champions?
Will Andy Murray retire at Wimbledon?
Murray has had some of his finest career moments at Wimbledon and could be making his final appearance at the Grand Slam.
The former world No. 1 has said he is unlikely to play beyond the summer and Wimbledon have “plans in place” for a potential tribute.
Murray looks set to play at the Paris 2024 Olympics, which take place at Roland-Garros later in July.
Is Novak Djokovic playing Wimbledon?
Djokovic has won seven Wimbledon titles, level with Pete Sampras and one behind Roger Federer’s record.
He came close to winning again last year as he lost to Alcaraz in a thrilling final.
Who is playing Wimbledon?
The men’s draw is set to be led by defending champion Alcaraz and new world No. 1 Jannik Sinner.

World No. 1 Swiatek will headline the women’s draw.
Swiatek had her best run at Wimbledon last year when she made the quarter-finals.
Gauff, Aryna Sabalenka and 2022 champion Elena Rybakina will be among those looking to challenge.
British No. 1 Katie Boulter has made the third round in the last two years, while Emma Raducanu is set to return after missing Wimbledon last year following surgery.
Raducanu is currently on the entry list for Wimbledon qualifying but might be ranked high enough for direct entry by the cut-off date or could get a wild card.
What is the Wimbledon curfew?
A curfew is in place at Wimbledon which prevents play continuing late into the night due to the impact it would have on local residents.
The Wimbledon curfew is at 11pm local time and was introduced in 2009 for the opening of the Centre Court roof.
A statement from Wimbledon in 2018 regarding the curfew said: “The 11pm curfew is a planning condition applied to balance the consideration of the local residents with the scale of an international tennis event that takes place in a residential area.
“The challenge of transport connectivity and getting visitors home safely is also a key consideration.”
The curfew was imposed by Merton Council when planning permission was granted for the Centre Court roof.
Is there play on Middle Sunday?
Until 2022, Wimbledon was the only one of the four Grand Slams with a rest day on Middle Sunday, giving players a break and also the grass time to recover.
But for the last two years matches have been staged on all 14 days and that will continue to be the case moving forward.
When are the Paris Olympics?
The tennis event at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games starts just two weeks after the Wimbledon final on July 27.
Tennis at the Games will be played on clay at Roland-Garros, the home of the French Open.
