Will We See New Champions At The Prestigious All England Club?

With its enduring support for tennis, Rolex continues to champion talented players as the official timekeeper of Wimbledon. Will we see new champions—or old—crowned at the prestigious All England Club?
Will We See New Champions At The Prestigious All England Club?
As the red clay dust of Roland-Garros settles, the spotlight now turns to the grass courts of the All England Club in London this month. The Championships, Wimbledon is one of the four grand slam tennis tournaments—together with the Australian Open, Roland-Garros and the US Open—and the only major played on grass.

This year’s edition is highly anticipated by both players and fans alike after the tournament was cancelled in 2020. For men’s singles, the Big Three of Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic are gunning for top honours. For nearly 20 years, the trio has dominated men’s singles, with a combined total of 15 Wimbledon titles.

For Federer, this year’s tournament is significant. The Rolex Testimonee—the term the brand calls the leading names in various fields it is closely associated with—has already etched his name into the annals of the All England Club with eight titles over the span of his career. Snagging his ninth title a month before his 40th birthday would be even sweeter as he would break his own record as the oldest player in the Open era (since 1968) to lift the Wimbledon championship trophy. (The current record stands at 35 years and 342 days old when Federer won in 2017.)
