Ticket balloting for the Wimbledon Championship 2024 has
already begun and has seen a huge demand from the fans.
The competition, which is the only major tournament to be
played on grass court, is one of the oldest in the history of tennis and
started 146 years ago.
According to the latest report, in a new turn of events,
Wimbledon authorities, who used to have postal ballots for decades, now turned
to email where they invited the fans to show their interest in the next year’s
balloting.
“Applications for the Wimbledon Public Ballot will be
accepted during a 15-day period from today, Tuesday 26 September, until 23.59
BST on Tuesday 10 October. All prospective applicants must register for a free
myWIMBLEDON account in order to be eligible to enter the Ballot,” read the
email.
Not surprisingly, there has been a great response to that
invitation. The initiative is also in line with the authorities’ effort to digitise
the Wimbledon ticketing in order to ensure that the tickets cannot be transferred
to other people.
The report further stated that the successful candidates in
the balloting will be informed in November about the result.
This year, the tournament was watched by millions on screen
and more than half a million on the courtside.
In the men’s singles category, it was Spain’s young tennis
sensation and current world number two Carlos Alcaraz who came out on top in a
five-set thrilling final against the current world number one and Serbia’s
legendary tennis star Novak Djokovic with a score of 1–6, 7–6(8–6), 6–1, 3–6,
6–4 to lift his second Grand Slam title.
In the women’s
singles category, it was the Czech Republic’s Marketa Vondrousova who stunned
the crowd favourite Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur in the final in straight sets with a
score of 6-4, 6-4 to lift her first Grand Slam title.

- Can't help but suspect Vukov is back to his old self again. Thank you, WTA. Perhaps you can give them a "Battling Couple of the Year Award 2026" ??

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026

Bad enough the NHL allows Ovachenko (a Putin Supporter and Campaigner) to live and play in the USA.
