What to wear this Wimbledon
If attending Wimbledon, it is encouraged to wear smart clothes whilst considering all weather conditions. Wimbledon is renowned for iconic and stand-out attire. Here are a few trends to look out for this tennis season:
– Pleated skirts, very reminiscent of the traditional tennis skirt too.
– White suiting, look for stark white and anything with show-stopping accents from waist ties to bold shoulders.
– Highlighter yellow, not one for the wardrobe wallflowers, neon yellow is promised to be one of the successful hues this summer. Plus, you’ll look like a tennis ball!

We will do a blog solely focusing on what to wear at Wimbledon in the near future!


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.

Who to watch this year 
– Carlos Alcaraz: current ATP ranking = 16, young (18 years old)
– Daniil Medvedev: current ATP ranking = 2
– Novak Djokovic: current ATP ranking = 1, a consistent winner
– Iga Świątek: current WTA ranking = 2, young (20 years old)
– Danielle Collins: current WTA ranking = 11
– Paula Badosa: current WTA ranking = 6
