The Championships Wimbledon 2025 – tennis grand slam
2025-06-30 - 2025-07-13 | All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club, Church Rd, London, SW19 5AG, United Kingdom
The Championships Wimbledon, held annually in London SW19, is the oldest and most prestigious of the four grand slam tennis tournaments. Played on its legendary grass courts, and with a history that dates back to its inception in 1877, Wimbledon takes place in 2025 from 30 June to 13 July at the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club. Steeped in tradition, Wimbledon maintains its charm through strict customs such as the all-white dress code for players, strawberries and cream for spectators, and the attendance of the British Royal Family.
The All England Club’s grass courts are the fastest surface in tennis, making it a haven for big servers and players who favour serve-and-volley tactics. The low bounce of the ball on grass creates a unique challenge, rewarding players with quick reflexes and strong net play. Despite technological and stylistic advancements in the game, Wimbledon remains a tournament where tradition meets modern athleticism, offering some of the sport’s most exciting and unpredictable matches.
Icons of the game like Roger Federer, Serena Williams, Novak Djokovic, Pete Sampras, and Martina Navratilova have built legacies at Wimbledon. Federer, with his record eight men’s singles titles, is widely regarded as the greatest grass-court player in history. Similarly, Navratilova’s nine women’s singles titles stand as an unparalleled achievement at the tournament.

The tournament’s iconic Centre Court, with its retractable roof, allows matches to continue uninterrupted by rain, a frequent occurrence in London’s summer. Alongside the grandeur of Centre Court, Court No.1 also hosts crucial matches and intense showdowns. Wimbledon’s setting is equally memorable, with its ivy-clad walls, lush green lawns, and meticulously manicured grounds.
For many players, winning Wimbledon is the ultimate career milestone, symbolising excellence and timelessness in the sport. Wimbledon’s blend of history, tradition, and top-tier competition makes it the crown jewel of tennis, revered by players and fans worldwide.

Women’s Golf Day 2025
2025-05-27 - 2025-06-03 | Worldwide, Worldwide
From 27 May to 3 June 2025, Women’s Golf Day (WGD) will be a celebration not just for the locations and women who take part annually around the globe, but of the contribution that the initiative has had since its launch 10 years ago.
The WGD vision was to help lead growth in the golf industry by giving women around the world the opportunity to try golf no matter their race, religion, language, geography, or economic status.
Taking place in 85 participating countries, with 1,350 registered locations, long-term partners of WGD include the PGA of America, the USGA and The R&A. For the 2025 edition, golf courses and facilities are encouraged to register early to take advantage of the many year-round benefits of having a registered location page, as well as hosting a WGD event.
Elisa Gaudet, founder of Women’s Golf Day, said: “WGD is a collaborative effort. Without the support of locations, brands, golf management companies, retailers and governing bodies we would not have been able to engage, empower and support as many girls and women as we have. In ten years, a lot has changed, but our four-hour experience continues to be successful and relevant, no matter where in the world. Our locations can see the short- and long-term impact now, which proves that registering with us to run WGD events is a straightforward way to recruit and retain female golfers.”
By breaking down barriers and encouraging participation, WGD has become a powerful force for growing the sport and fostering a sense of belonging among female golfers, making the game more accessible and enjoyable for all.

2025 French Open Roland-Garros – tennis grand slam
2025-05-19 - 2025-06-08 | Stade Roland Garros, Paris, 75016, France
The French Open, held annually at Roland-Garros in Paris, is the second of the four grand slam tennis tournaments and the premier clay court event in the world. Taking place in 2025 from 19 May to 8 June, it is renowned for its gruelling matches, unique playing surface, and storied history.
Founded in 1891, the French Open has produced some of the sport’s most legendary moments and champions. Rafael Nadal, often referred to as the “King of Clay”, holds the record for the most men’s singles titles at Roland Garros, having won the tournament an astonishing 14 times. Nadal’s dominance at the French Open has become one of tennis’s most iconic storylines, as the slow clay surface perfectly complements his physical and grinding style of play. On the women’s side, players like Chris Evert and Justine Henin have enjoyed similar success on the red clay.
The tournament’s most famous court, Court Philippe-Chatrier, has undergone modern renovations, including the addition of a retractable roof, allowing play to continue during rain, a frequent occurrence in Paris. The clay surface presents unique challenges, as it slows down the ball and creates higher bounces, favouring baseline players who excel at topspin shots. Sliding on the clay is also an essential skill, making movement and endurance key aspects of the game.
The French Open is also unique for its cultural charm, with a distinct Parisian flair that blends sport and elegance. Fans are treated to world-class tennis while enjoying the beauty of Paris in late spring, creating a quintessentially French experience that attracts millions of viewers and visitors every year. For players and fans alike, winning at Roland-Garros remains one of the highest honours in tennis.
