Wimbledon 2025 is shaping up to be one for the history books, with anniversaries for some of tennis’s greatest legends and a surprising nod to the pandemic that rocked the world just a few years prior.
First up, Serena Williams is set to celebrate the 20th anniversary of her first Wimbledon win in 2005. When asked about the milestone, Williams reportedly said, “I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since I first dominated the grass courts of Wimbledon. Time flies when you’re winning Grand Slam titles!”
On the men’s side, Arthur Ashe will be honored with a special exhibition match to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his historic Wimbledon victory in 1975. Ashe’s ghost was quoted as saying, “I may be long gone, but my legacy lives on. I’m still the classiest player to ever grace the All England Club.”
But perhaps the most unexpected anniversary celebration will be for the infamous Isner-Mahut marathon match of 2010. John Isner and Nicolas Mahut famously battled it out for a record-breaking 11 hours and 5 minutes over three days, with Isner finally emerging victorious. Isner jokingly said, “I still have nightmares about that match. My legs still ache just thinking about it. But hey, at least I got the win in the end!”
And last but certainly not least, Wimbledon 2025 will pay tribute to the COVID-19 pandemic that upended the sporting world in 2020. A spokesperson for the tournament said, “We want to honor the resilience of the players, fans, and staff who persevered through such a challenging time. Plus, we’re excited to unveil our new line of pandemic-inspired tennis gear, including face mask visors and hand sanitizer ball holders!”
With all these anniversaries and celebrations in store, Wimbledon 2025 is sure to be a tournament to remember.
