Wimbledon 2026: Stunning Comeback, Player Revolt and Wide-Open Title Race

Wimbledon 2026 began at the All England Club on 29 June with more uncertainty than the tournament has seen in years. A returning legend, an absent former champion and questions surrounding several leading contenders have disrupted the expected order before the first week has fully unfolded.

The Championships run until 12 July, but the defining stories extend beyond individual results. Record prize money has failed to end a dispute with players, British hopes face immediate pressure and new technology is changing how important decisions are reviewed on court.
