Latest news on Wimbledon, covering results, the order of play, draws, seedings, tickets and headlines from the grass-court Grand Slam at the All England Club.

Wimbledon, officially The Championships, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, first staged in 1877. Held at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in SW19, south-west London, it is the third Grand Slam of the tennis calendar. Play runs across a fortnight from late June to mid July, with singles, doubles, mixed doubles, wheelchair and junior events on its famous grass courts.

Follow every stage of The Championships here, from the qualifying rounds and first-week upsets to the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals weekend. Our feed brings you match reports, live scores, daily schedules and reaction from Centre Court and No. 1 Court, both covered by retractable roofs. Coverage also includes seedings, prize money, ticket ballots and news of British hopefuls chasing home success.

Wimbledon has embraced significant change in recent years, including electronic line calling in place of line judges and the introduction of video reviews. The All England Club is also pursuing a major expansion onto the former Wimbledon Park Golf Club, with plans for dozens of new courts and an 8,000-seat show court. The project has faced legal challenges from local campaigners, making it one of the most closely watched planning disputes in British sport.

Beyond the tennis, Wimbledon is a cultural institution steeped in tradition. The all-white dress code, strawberries and cream, the Royal Box and the famous Queue draw visitors from around the world. Crowds gather on the hill beside No. 1 Court to watch the big screen, while celebrity sightings and fashion moments keep the tournament in the headlines throughout the fortnight.

The grass courts of Wimbledon have crowned many of the sport's greatest champions. Roger Federer won a record eight gentlemen's singles titles, while Martina Navratilova claimed nine in the ladies' game. Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, Pete Sampras, Steffi Graf and Björn Borg all built dynasties at the All England Club, and Andy Murray ended a 77-year wait for a British men's champion in 2013.
