The 2023 Wimbledon Championships was a major tennis tournament that took place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom.

Tournament

The tournament was played on grass courts, with all main draw matches played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon, from 3 to 16 July 2023. Qualifying matches were played from 26 to 29 June 2023 at the Bank of England Sports Ground in Roehampton.

The 2023 Championships was the 136th edition, the 129th staging of the Ladies’ Singles Championship event, the 55th in the Open Era and the third Grand Slam tournament of the year. The tournament was run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and included in the 2023 ATP Tour and the 2023 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category, as well as the 2023 ITF tours for junior and wheelchair competitions respectively.

The tournament consisted of men's (singles and doubles), women's (singles and doubles), mixed doubles, boys' (under 18 – singles and doubles, under 14 – singles), girls' (under 18 – singles and doubles, under 14 – singles), which are a part of the Grade A category of tournaments for under 18, and singles & doubles events for men's and women's wheelchair tennis players. This edition features gentlemen's and ladies' invitational doubles competitions and the mixed invitational double draw introduced in the 2022 Wimbledon Championships. The men's doubles competition was changed from best of five sets to best of three sets for all matches. [1]

This was the tournament's second edition with a scheduled order of play on the first Sunday during the event, dubbed "Middle Sunday". Prior to the 2022 edition, the tournament had seen only four exceptions to the tradition of withholding competition on Middle Sunday to accommodate delayed matches during championships that were heavily disrupted by rain. [2]

The tournament saw the return of Russian and Belarusian tennis players, after they were controversially banned from the previous edition due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. [3]

Special events

In addition to the tournament taking place, Swiss former tennis player Roger Federer was honoured two decades since he won the tournament for the first time in 2003. [4]

Dress code

In 2023 Wimbledon rules first allowed all female players, included but not limited to in the girls’ singles junior event, to wear non-white underwear; the new rule allows "solid, mid/dark-coloured undershorts, provided they are no longer than their shorts or skirt". [5]
