Which British players are competing at Wimbledon 2025?

There will be a strong list of British players at Wimbledon this year in the women’s, men’s, juniors, and wheelchair draws.

On the women’s side, HSBC Championships quarter-finalist Emma Raducanu leads the charge as she hopes to better her 2024 run to the last 16. The 2021 US Open champion broke back into the top 50 this year and has returned to British No.1 status after two years following some deep runs this season, including the quarter-finals of the Miami Open.

Joining her is two-time Lexus Nottingham Open champion Katie Boulter – the British No.2 made it to the second round last year, where she lost out to fellow Brit Harriet Dart. Dart will also be joining the main draw for the seventh time since 2018.

Sonay Kartal will feature in the main draw for the fourth time after making it to the third round as a qualifier last year. The British No.3, who won her first WTA title last September, has since broken into the world’s top 50 following her maiden win at Roland Garros.

Jodie Burrage will be back at The Championships, after missing last year due to injury, alongside 2016 mixed doubles champ Heather Watson and Francesca Jones.

British teenagers Mimi Xu, Hannah Klugman and Mika Stojsavljevic have also been awarded wild cards into the main draw.

On the men’s side, British No.1 Jack Draper comes in off the back of his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells and making it to the French Open fourth round. Jacob Fearnley is set to return after losing a four set battle with seven-time champion Novak Djokovic on his SW19 debut in 2024.

2022 semi-finalist Cam Norrie will feature in the main draw, as well as Dan Evans who will be looking to make it past the opening round for the first time in three years. Also rounding off their grass court season at the Grand Slam is Billy Harris.

2023 boys’ singles champion Henry Searle is on the men’s wild cards list, alongside Jay Clarke, Johannus Monday, Jack Pinnington Jones, George Loffhagen and Oliver Crawford.

Who is playing at Wimbledon 2025?

The women’s singles draw at Wimbledon this year is stacked with former champions, Grand Slam winners and those hoping to make their breakthrough on the biggest stage.

World No. 2 Coco Gauff heads to SW19 off the back of her first Roland Garros title. The 2023 US Open winner has been in two WTA tour finals already this year and will be looking to go beyond the fourth round for the first time at Wimbledon.

Her closest competitors this season have been Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka, five-time Grand Slam winner Iga Swiatek and 2024 Wimbledon runner-up Jasmin Paolini.

Former champion Elena Rybakina will also be hoping for glory alongside Germany’s Tatjana Maria who came through qualifying to lift the first WTA trophy at the HSBC Championship in 52 years.

On the men’s side, back-to-back champion Carlos Alcaraz will return to defend his title for the third year after winning the French Open for the second consecutive year - bringing his grand slam total to five.
