When is Wimbledon 2021 and who can get tickets for the tennis tournament?
The time is nearly upon us once more when we get to break out the strawberries and cream, pray for surprise British success and pretend we secretly watch tennis all year round. That's right, Wimbledon 2021 is almost with us. With the Euros already in full swing theres nothing like adding another major sporting occasion into the mix, with the delayed Olympics also due to get going in Tokyo later in the summer.

But Dan Evans and Johanna Konta will be hoping they can go deep into the first week at least. Heres how you can still get tickets for the tournament and what the schedule looks like in 2021. The first day of the Championships is Monday, June 28. The tennis itself is due to start at 11am that day. Play on Centre Court and Court No 1 will begin at 1pm as the Ladies and Mens first round begins. The tournament is due to last the usual two weeks with the final day on Sunday, July 11. There will be no play on the first Sunday of the tournament (unless the weather has something else to say about it) and the quarter-finals for the Ladies singles tournament starts on Tuesday, June 6 with the Mens commencing the day after. Uncertainty reigns as to how many tickets will be available - and crucially when - for this years Wimbledon Championships. The organisers have said they want to achieve a minimum 25% capacity with at least 10,000 tickets going on sale each day. The likelihood is that around 6,000 of these will be available to the public, and given out on a first come first served basis. The public ballot and queueing system will not be operational this year. With the government delaying freedom day on June 21 until at least July 19, Wimbledon 2021 will not go ahead without Covid restrictions as some may have hoped. What is certain is that the Mens and Ladies finals will be taking place with full capacity as part of government pilot events . The organisers have said they want to get as many people as possible to see live tennis this year, and so are leaving it late to confirm how many people will be admitted each day. Sally Bolton, Wimbledon CEO, has said: We very much hope that the 25% will be a minimum position that we can build from because it is our absolute desire to enable as many people as possible to attend this years championships.
