Tennis Season Has Begun

The much-anticipated Wimbledon tournament got underway on June 29 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, showcasing a mix of excitement and intensity.

Men’s defending champion Yannik Sinner faced a tough match against Miomir Kecmanovic, who is currently ranked No. 50. Sinner managed to win, but not without some drama—he stumbled during a rally and ended up with injuries on his legs.

On the women’s side, Aryna Sabalenka, the top-ranked player, had a more straightforward victory, defeating Serbia’s Teodora Kostovic with a score of 6-2, 6-3.

And that was just day one!

If you’re keen to catch all the action on those iconic grass courts, there are still last-minute all-day passes available for the tournament. As of now, the lowest price for a ticket we came across was around $2,115, including fees, but that could change.

Other passes vary widely, ranging from about $2,729 to nearly $13,985, depending on the date.

Oh, and don’t forget to use promo code NYPOST10 for a discount if you’re spending over $250—just a little perk to keep in mind.

Alongside Sinner and Sabalenka, many other notable players will be competing, including seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic, Roland Garros winner Alexander Zverev, world No. 2 Jelena Rybakina, and fan favorites like Iga Świętek and Coco Gauff.

Oh, and yes, Serena Williams is back in singles competition after a break, which is quite exciting.

Even for those who have never been before, the experience promises to be delightful. Wimbledon is famous for its Pimm’s and strawberries—about 200,000 of them will be served during the Championships. It’s kind of a must-have, really.

“But it’s not just strawberries. There are plenty of dining options available, whether you’re in the mood for takeaway or something a bit fancier,” someone said, probably while contemplating what to eat.

If you’re going to be clapping along with fellow fans, we’ve got everything you need to know about attending Wimbledon 2026, which will be live-streamed in the UK.

Wimbledon 2026 Highlights

This year, not everyone will be able to compete due to various reasons. Carlos Alcaraz, for instance, had to withdraw due to a wrist injury, along with other players like Marketa Vondrousova and Emma Raducanu.

On a brighter note, Serena Williams, 44, is making a return in singles for the first time since 2022, and anticipation is high for her match against 20-year-old Australian player Maya Joynt.

This year’s prize money has also increased by 20%, which is pretty significant. There are new rules about heat stress and a controversial video review system for line calls to enhance the experience.
