Wimbledon Queue wilts on hottest EVER opening day
Tennis fans joined the famous Queue in sweltering heat this morning in SW19 in what is expected to be the warmest ever start to the Grand Slam.
Many who had camped out overnight were seen with umbrellas to protect them from the sun as forecasters predict today could be one of the hottest June days in UK history.
An update from Wimbledon's official website on Monday read: 'Please note there is hot weather forecast for Monday and Tuesday. In both The Queue and the Grounds there may be periods where shade is not available.
'Please plan appropriately, including bringing water, suncream and a hat. Water refill points are available in the Queue and around the Grounds.'
Traditions? What traditions?
Wimbledon is debut'ing AI line judges, keeping in step with the rest of the WTA and ATP events save for a fathomable hold-out, Roland-Garros.
While line judges have been recording audio for the robot to call out in SW19, there are few that are thrilled with the innovation.
The players, on the other hand, are another story.
Good morning!
After nearly a year's anticipation, I can finally welcome you to Mail Sport's comprehensive coverage of all the action from the first day of the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, live from SW19.
And what a returning day it's set to be. There are a staggering 14 Britons in the draw, with Emma Raducanu, Jacob Fearnley, and qualifier Oliver Tarvet - ranked in the mid-700s and unable to collect his prize money as a college athlete - among those in action today.
They'll play under bright blue skies and in searing heat, with the mercury hovering around the 34-degree mark at its highest.
But who keeps cool and which players will invariably melt away altogether?
