Changes in tournament structure
– From 2022 onwards, Wimbledon will become a 14 day tournament, with matches set to be played on Middle Sunday, traditionally a day off. This Sunday is usually a day off to get the courts back in shape for the latter rounds resulting in ‘Manic-Monday’ however thanks to improvements in grass court technology this is no longer needed.
– Changes to the championship tiebreak system, no longer do players play to 12 games all to begin a tiebreak, but now to 6-6 in games. This change will become consistent in all grand slams.
