The 2019 Wimbledon Championships is a Grand Slam tennis tournament that is scheduled to take place at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. The main tournament is due to begin on Monday 1 July 2019 and finish on Sunday 14 July 2019.^[1]

Novak Djokovic and Angelique Kerber are the defending champions in the single competitions.

It will be the first edition of the tournament to feature a standard tie break in the final set when the score in the set is 12 games all. The winner is the player who reaches seven or more points and leads by two points.

In the Women's Singles, there will be 16 qualifiers from 128 entrants, an increase from 12 qualifiers from 96 entrants. Doubles qualifying will be eliminated as a result. The change brings the qualification for the Women's Singles into line with that for the Men's Singles, which remains unchanged.^[2]

There is a retractable roof over No. 1 Court for the first time. Like the larger Centre Court, No. 1 Court may be getting a weather proof tournament preventing a rain delay.

Tournament

The 2019 Wimbledon Championships will be the 133rd edition of the tournament and is to be held at All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in London.

The tournament is run by the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and is included in the 2019 ATP Tour and the 2019 WTA Tour calendars under the Grand Slam category. The tournament will consist of men's (singles and doubles), women's (singles and doubles), mixed doubles, boys (under 18 – singles and doubles) and girls (under 18 – singles and doubles), which is also 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 as part of the UNIQLO Tour under the Grand Slam category, also hosting singles and doubles events for wheelchair quad tennis for the first time.^[3]

The tournament is played only on grass courts; main draw matches will be played at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, Wimbledon. Qualifying matches will be played, from Monday 24 June to Thursday 27 June 2019, at the Bank of England Sports Ground, Roehampton.
