Will Djokovic play Wimbledon in 2025?

Novak Djokovic remains among the confirmed top players for Wimbledon 2025, according to ATP Tour (official governing body). At 37 years old, Djokovic has spoken publicly about the physical realities of elite tennis at his age.

In interviews with BBC Sport, Djokovic has acknowledged that age catches up with the body like a train—referencing his recovery demands and the toll of competing at the highest level.

“Age hits you like a train,” Djokovic told BBC Sport. “You can feel fine in training, but match intensity exposes every weakness. Wimbledon on grass is the hardest test because there’s no room for error on the quick surface.”

Djokovic joins Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Alexander Zverev, Jack Draper, and Lorenzo Musetti among the confirmed entries. Jamie Baker serves as tournament director for Wimbledon 2025.

Can you wear jeans to Wimbledon?

Wimbledon maintains a strict dress code for spectators. Jeans are technically permitted, but the All England Club discourages overly casual attire, particularly in the prestigious courts. The traditional emphasis on smart-casual dress means attendees wearing jeans may face scrutiny or refusal at entry points closer to Centre Court.

Dress code rules

Official guidance from Wimbledon.com advises against sportswear, torn clothing, and bare chests. Gentlemen are expected to wear collared shirts when possible. The dress code applies primarily to the court areas—grounds passes allow more flexibility.

Wimbledon traditions and rules

Beyond the tennis, Wimbledon is defined by several longstanding customs that sometimes puzzle first-time visitors.

Empty seats at Centre Court

During televised matches, viewers sometimes notice rows of empty seats on Centre Court. TNT Sports (official UK broadcaster) explains that this occurs because hospitality packages and reserved seats for sponsors often go unclaimed, especially during weekday afternoon sessions.

Keeping tennis balls

There is no official rule against spectators keeping tennis balls that land in the stands. However, ushers typically discourage ball retention during play to prevent distraction to players. After points, balls are changed and distributed to ball boys rather than thrown to spectators.

Player undershorts policy

Wimbledon is the only Grand Slam with a specific rule requiring female players to wear dark undershorts beneath their tennis skirts. TNT Sports notes this tradition dates to the All England Club’s conservative origins, though the rule has been relaxed in recent years to allow greater color variety.

The 2025 Wimbledon Championships represents one of the most anticipated editions in recent memory. With Sinner, Alcaraz, and Djokovic all confirmed, the men’s draw offers a genuine generational clash. For fans planning to attend, the window to secure tickets through official channels is closing fast—Ticketmaster availability sells out within hours of each release.
