2009 Wimbledon Championships Schedule

The 2009 Wimbledon Championships will take place from Monday 22 June to Sunday 5 July. The main events, men’s and ladies singles, men’s and ladies doubles and the mixed doubles usually span both weeks and the lesser events like the invitational and junior events are generally held during the second week.

Traditionally the ‘middle’ Sunday is set aside as a rest day, and no play takes place. There have, however, been three occasions when play has resumed on the Sunday due to rain delays. During these occasions the organisers have staged a ‘People’s Sunday’, where unreserved seating is made available at very reasonable prices so that the less well-heeled may take in the excitement of the show courts.

Occasionally the tournament does not end on the second Sunday, normally, again, due to rain delays. A ’People’s Monday’ is then organised with the same benefits as the ‘People’s Sunday’.

Times of Play

• The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club opens at 10.30am each day of the tournament.
