The stage will soon be set again on London’s Church Road when Wimbledon, the third Grand Slam tournament of the year, takes place there from July 1 to 14.

Wimbledon 2024: When and where will the tournament take place?
This year the tournament will once again take place on the hallowed turf of the All England Tennis Club on London’s Church Road. The main draw will determine the winners in singles, doubles and mixed doubles from July 1 to 14.
Who are the favorites among the men?
First and foremost, we must mention the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz, who will be competing in London as the defending champion. Last year, he defeated Novak Djokovic there, but his participation is currently still in doubt due to a knee injury, but he is otherwise also one of the title contenders.

World number one Jannik Sinner and Alexander Zverev are also among the favorites on grass. Zverev in particular is eager to win his first Grand Slam title after his defeat in the final against Alcaraz in Paris.
Who are the favorites among the women?
For the women, the main focus is on world number one Iga Swiatek from Poland, who recently won in Paris.
There is also reason to be excited about Marketa Vondrousova, who surprisingly won the tournament last year. Otherwise, the women’s field is wide open and could always produce a surprise.
This is how the Germans’ chances stand in Wimbledon
In the men’s competition, Zverev is one of the title contenders, otherwise the field of DTB men is likely to thin out quickly. Jan-Lennard Struff, Oscar Otte and Co. are certainly always good for a surprise, but are unlikely to be in the tournament in the second week.
The DTB women are currently without a figurehead, as Angelique Kerber is still looking for form after maternity leave, but has received a wildcard for the main draw. Some players will certainly fight their way through the qualification, but in the second week of the tournament there will normally be no German players left.

Where is the Wimbledon tournament shown on TV?
In recent years, the Wimbledon tournament was broadcast on the pay-TV channel Sky, but the broadcasting rights now lie with the streaming service Prime Video. This service is also only available for a fee (8.99 euros per month) but offers the option of a free month, so that the Wimbledon tournament can be received for free if the subscription is canceled on time.
However, there will be no broadcast on linear TV, as Prime Video is only available via live stream.
