The 2023 Wimbledon event will run from 3^rd – 16^th July and as in keeping with a long-standing tradition, the presentation of the men’s and women’s singles trophies will be made by a royal representative, which will likely be The Duchess of Cambridge for the fifth year.

Fun Fact: The Duchess is a huge tennis fan and is the royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, taking over patronage from Queen Elizabeth in 2016. We also know that the chic royal is an active member of The Hurlingham Club in Fulham where she is said to take Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis for hitting sessions during the school holidays. Something tells us they may not have had to endure the club’s 30 year waiting list…

But, back to Wimbledon, the reason we are here! Whether you’re sat in the crowd, immersed in the comradery at Henman Hill or perched peacefully by the TV, you can look forward to enjoying the following order-of-play:

Wimbledon 2023: Tournament Prediction

Our in-house tennis journalist, Kevin Palmer has this to say about his pick for the 2023 tournament:

Can anyone stop Novak Djokovic at Wimbledon? The Serbian superstar will be aiming to match Roger Federer’s record of eight titles when he returns to the most famous tennis court in the world this summer. And by then, he will be marking a remarkable ten years since his last defeat on Wimbledon’s Centre Court. Djokovic is unbeaten on the most hallowed grass court of them all since Andy Murray beat him in the 2013 Wimbledon final, with his only defeats at Wimbledon since then coming against Sam Querrey in 2016.

Since then, Djokovic has been dominant at Wimbledon and may well be on course to become the most successful male player in history at the most cherished tournament in tennis. Federer is the only player to win more Wimbledon singles titles than Djokovic and he may even be eying up overtaking Martina Navratilova’s all-time record of nine singles titles at Wimbledon.

The identity of the players likely to challenge Djokovic in the next two or three years on grass may have a different look as a clutch of young guns come through the ranks hungry to end his reign.

Nick Kyrgios will be eager to go on better after he pushed Djokovic in last year’s Wimbledon final but look out for the rising stars of the game to test the Serbian legend. The only way to beat Djokovic on a grass court is to take the match out of his control and that means overpowering him with big hitting ground shots and serves, with young guns Denmark’s Holger Rune and America’s Sebastian Korda assembling the firepower to possibly do just that.

Carlos Alcaraz is another player to watch if he can find his feet on grass, although the Spaniard is more likely to threaten Djokovic on his favoured clay courts. And could there be one final showdown between Rafael Nadal and Djokovic at Wimbledon? Nadal has not beaten Djokovic on grass since 2008 at The Queen’s Club in London; losing all of their most recent meetings at Wimbledon.

Djokovic would be a heavy favourite to beat an ailing Nadal if they meet in London in July, but what a mouth-watering prospect that would be. In truth, it is hard to see anyone dethroning Djokovic when he gets back onto the Centre Court, he has made his own. Injury or an unexpected dip in form may be the only hope for the chasing pack.

All Court Tennis Club Transport Tips 

One thing you can bet on in London is the sophisticated tube system operating a prompt and timely option for navigating your way around the city. The District Line (the green one!) is the route you will likely encounter if the tube is your nominated method of transport to Wimbledon. The closest station to the club is Southfields, and once you’ve hopped off, it will take you about 15 – 20 minutes on foot.  Alternatively you can hop off at Wimbledon station, it’s the next closest station with just a  slightly longer walk.

You can find the AELTC’s advice on getting to the club here.

For the carbon footprint conscious, there’s a plethora of transport options. The city’s Santander Bikes are super cheap and easy to access, with over 12,000 bikes at 800 docking stations around the city, and 10 in Wimbledon alone. Check out their website for more detail.

The city also offers a vast range of non-dock e-scooters from Uber, Lime and Tier. If you are time-poor and inpatient in the traffic (guilty…) this option may work for you.

A traditional London cab is never be too far away. If thumbing a lift doesn’t work, try out Free Now or TaxiApp. And, for something a little more luxurious, Uber or Wheely will do the trick.
