The third Grand Slam of the year and the biggest tennis show is back, with the Wimbledon 2023 slated to start on July 3 (Monday). This year’s show will be missing several prominent stars including Rafael Nadal. However, Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are expected to be the main drawcards for the tournament this time around.
To watch Wimbledon 2023, the streaming options may vary depending on your location. In some regions, the same streaming service used for the French Open might work for Wimbledon as well. However, in other regions, you may need a different streaming service. We have thus prepared a detailed guide to help you watch Wimbledon from your specific location.
Biggest Tennis Show
The first day of the two-week tournament is dedicated to the men’s and women’s singles events, while doubles competitions are scheduled to commence later in the week.
Novak Djokovic, who has won Wimbledon four times in a row, is once again setting his sights on making history. He will aim to win his 24th Grand Slam title, a remarkable achievement that would match Margaret Court’s record for the most Grand Slam titles ever won.
This year’s tournament carries an added element of excitement as ranking points, which were missing due to controversy in the previous edition, will be reinstated. The return of ranking points adds an extra amount of significance and competitiveness to the event.
The ATP and WTA Tours decided to withdraw points from the tournament last year owing to a disagreement between the All England Club and the participation of Russian and Belarusian players.
As a result, players will not lose any points this week, and the competition becomes even more crucial as there is everything to gain for the participants.
As far as the women’s competition is concerned, the 2023 Wimbledon tournament is expected to showcase an exciting rivalry among the top players. Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Elena Rybakina have been particularly impressive this season and will be eager to continue their success and create a new chapter in their ongoing competition.
Additionally, former Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova has experienced a resurgence this year and should not be overlooked as a strong contender. With their skills and achievements, these players will certainly be worth watching closely during the tournament.
