A look at Wimbledon, which begins Monday at 3 a.m. on the grass courts at the All England Club in southwest London:

Getting started: The first match on Centre Court — which traditionally involves the previous year’s men’s champion — is scheduled to begin at 5:30 a.m. The previous year’s women’s champion opens Centre Court on Day 2.

TV coverage: ESPN/ABC (live coverage) and Tennis Channel (match re-airs).

Defending champions: Barbora Krejcikova of the Czech Republic and Carlos Alcaraz of Spain won the 2024 singles titles. Krejcikova got past Jasmine Paolini 6-2, 2-6, 6-4 for her second Grand Slam title and first at the All England Club. Alcaraz beat seven-time Wimbledon champion Novak Djokovic 6-2, 6-2, 7-6 (4) to win his second consecutive trophy at the grass-court major — defeating Djokovic each time — and fourth Slam title overall, a total Alcaraz now has raised to five at age 22.

Top seeds: Aryna Sabalenka is the top-seeded woman, and Jannik Sinner is the top-seeded man. Coco Gauff and Alcaraz are No. 2. Sabalenka (+290) and Alcaraz (+110) are listed as the money-line favorites to win the trophies, according to BetMGM Sportsbook.
