Why this event
Round 1 is unpredictable. Grand Slam main-draw debuts, qualifier upsets, and the defending Women's Singles champion all on the same day. Ground Pass holders can court-hop and watch six matches if they're disciplined.
Day 2 completes the first round of singles. By tradition, the defending Women's Singles champion opens Centre Court — mirroring the men's opener from Day 1. Outer courts are packed with first-round matches across men's and women's draws, plus the opening rounds of doubles. Day 2 is a connoisseur's day: discover the players who will define the second week before they become household names.
Highlights

Frequently asked
What time should I arrive?
The grounds open at 10:30. We recommend arriving by 11:30 to enjoy the atmosphere, get refreshments, and find your court before play starts. On final days, arrive earlier for security and ceremony viewing.
What is the dress code?
Smart casual for the grounds. The Royal Box and Debenture areas require jackets for gentlemen (no jeans or sportswear). Players wear all-white — a tradition strictly enforced for competitors but not for spectators.
Can I bring food and drink?
Yes, you may bring your own food and one bottle of wine or champagne, or two cans of beer per person. Glassware over 250ml is not permitted. Strawberries and cream from the on-site stands are a must-try.
What if it rains?
Centre Court and Court 1 both have retractable roofs — play continues. Outer courts pause and resume after rain stops; if your reserved match is cancelled, you may be entitled to a refund per AELTC's published rain policy.
