Wimbledon 2018: Schedule, where and when to watch The Championships, coverage on TV and live streaming on Hotstar

This Wimbledon marks the 10th anniversary of one of the most famous matches in tennis history: Rafael Nadal’s victory over Roger Federer in the 2008 final at the All England Club. Nadal, who had lost to Federer in the previous two Wimbledon finals, called it “a very important step forward for me” and “one of the most emotional matches that I played in my career.” [caption id=“attachment_4655151” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] General view of the Centre Court at Wimbledon.

A decade later, they still rule their sport and will be the top contenders in the men’s singles draw, more so after two-time champion Andy Murray withdrew on Sunday because of a bad hip. He had surgery in January and returned to competition less than two weeks ago. In the women’s section, meanwhile, Serena Williams returns after missing Wimbledon last year while she was pregnant. She gave birth to a daughter last September, and this will be the fourth tournament of her comeback. Williams has a 14-match winning streak at the All England Club, with her sixth and seventh titles in 2015 and 2016, and a 10-match winning streak in Grand Slam action. Also returning: 2004 champion Maria Sharapova, who missed Wimbledon the last two years — in 2016 because of a 15-month doping suspension, and in 2017 because of an injured left thigh. The 13-day tournament closes with the women’s singles final on Saturday, 14 July, and the men’s singles final on Sunday, 15 July.
