Only two months left until tennis fever hits Wimbledon. So what dates does the Wimbledon fortnight fall on in 2018?
With just two months left, we’re counting down the days to the Wimbledon Championships. Wimbledon tennis dates 2018 will begin at 12pm on Monday 2nd July and end on Sunday 15th July.
This follows on from the success of last year when the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA) in association with The All England Lawn Tennis Club announced official changes to their schedule.
LTA CEO, Michael Downey, said:
“This is all about delivering a bigger and better set of grass court tournaments for the players and our fans. It represents another major step in the evolution of the British grass court circuit.
Ultimately, we want to jump-start the important summer season of participation by trying to “own the month of June” with an extensive and high quality series of Major Tennis Events to help inspire more people to pick up a racket and play tennis. At the same time, this new look calendar will help optimise the players’ preparation for competing in the world’s premier tennis tournament, The Championships, Wimbledon.”
Merton Council has now opened its online booking for parking at the tennis. Secure a priority car parking space within a five minute walk of the All England Club in ‘Car Park 10’.
The temporary spaces will be in Wimbledon Park, available from July 2nd to 15th. Book online for £25 or on the day at the gate for £30.
