LONDON — Wimbledon entered its decisive middle Sunday on July 5, with fourth-round matches set to determine the quarter-final line-up at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Organisers confirmed play across Centre Court and No. 1 Court under the tournament schedule.

The grass-court major returned to a full Sunday programme after the All England Club permanently ended its traditional middle-Sunday rest day in 2022. This change guarantees a complete fortnight of play and places the round of 16 at the heart of the second week.

Several leading seeds had reached the second week despite upsets in earlier rounds. The men's and women's singles draws both carried the prospect of high-profile clashes as the field narrowed toward the quarter-finals.

The All England Club expects strong ticket demand and favourable summer weather to draw large crowds to the grounds in south-west London. Broadcasters including the BBC have scheduled extended coverage across the day's showcourt matches.

Wimbledon's singles finals are scheduled for the following weekend, with the men's champion set to be crowned on July 12. Prize money for the 2026 Championships again reached record levels, the club confirmed.
