No change for Wimbledon
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.The Wimbledon Championships will continue to be held two weeks after the French Open for the next two years, although discussions are underway concerning changes to the calendar.
It had been suggested that the Australian Open might switch from the last two weeks of January to a new date in March, and that Wimbledon would allow an extra week for players to adjust from the slow clay courts to the faster grass surface. But the All England Club announced yesterday that the 2004 tournament is to be held from 21 June to 4 July and the 2005 event from 20 June to 3 July.
The dates for 2006 and beyond remain provisional while discussions continue.
