We've joined the queue for Wimbledon - and honestly, it's 'too hot'
Spirits remain high in ‘The Queue’ for Wimbledon, despite tennis fans feeling a bit hot and bothered (and sweaty!)
Wimbledon is back for 2025 - and it’s already set to be a bumper season of tennis.
Per tradition, tennis fans have gathered in Wimbledon Park to join the queue for tickets, and we’ve decided to join them.
Our roving reporter and stalwart Wimbledon supporter, Megan Titterington, has been in the queue since the early hours.
It’s not her first foray into the world of Wimbledon, having been there several times before. Last year, Megan said she enjoyed the atmosphere and the ‘best strawberries she’s ever tasted’.
A video from the queue at 6:30am shows hordes of fans with tents and camping chairs enjoying the early sunshine on the grass of Wimbledon Park.
Reportedly, some tennis fans are struggling with the heat already, which is due to hit highs of 34C at the All England Tennis Club today (1st July).
At the time of publishing it is already around 30C in Wimbledon Park.
The queue for water is extremely long, so make sure you pack plenty of supplies if you’re planning on heading to Wimbledon this week.
Megan said there’s a good mix of people in the queue, from dedicated tennis fans to Londoners hoping to enjoy a slice of the Wimbledon pomp and splendour.
And some strawberries and cream, and a jug of Pimms, of course!
Two tennis fans told London World: “We’ve been camping for one night and have another to go, before we go in on Wednesday.”
They added that they are excited to see Carlos Alcaraz play, but they are finding it “too hot.”
They also told us they were able to “secure a day pass for the gym down the road, so they can shower and use the facilities while they camp in the queue” - a great tip for Wimbledon fans!
The Championship kicked off yesterday with an epic match between reigning champ Carlos Alcaraz and Fabio Fognini.
Sir Gareth Southgate and Sir David Beckham were spotted enjoying the match from the Royal Box alongside Beckham’s mum, Sandra.
British actor, Jason Isaacs was also among the celebrities we spotted at Wimbledon yesterday.
