Performance

Wimbledon  is a showcase of all the physical and mental preparation that elite athletes go through to perform  on  one of the biggest stages in sport. 

Behind the scenes performance experts like, nutritionists, coaches, physiotherapists and more, play a crucial role in helping players manage pressure, prevent injury and master their explosive movements on the court. 

 

 

MEDIA

The Championships attract a large crowd of fans as well as the media. Every year hundreds of broadcasters, journalists, photographers and other creators descend on the club to cover the action on the courts. 

Members of various media organisations work hard to provide commentary, capture match highlights, and conduct interviews. 

 

 

Innovation

Wimbledon is a hub of innovation, and a place where tradition meets cutting-edge technology.

Through grassroots tennis programmes, educational partnerships and local outreach initiatives, the tournament invests in the local communities. Even the Ball Boys and Girls are local students. 

 

 

GROUNDWORK

From growing and maintaining the world’s most famous grass courts to building temporary fan zones and hospitality suites, the groundwork is what makes the sporting spectacle possible. 

The grass itself is cut to 8mm and monitored to meet elite playing standards
