Wimbledon 2024...






Wimbledon 2025

June 23 - July 13, 2025

It's that time of the year again and Wimbledon is in full swing so I thought it would be fun to hop in the Rolex Time Machine and take a look back.

Roger Federer 

Roger Federer is pictured below with legendary cricket player, Sachin Tendulkar attending Wimbledon 2024, and he is rocking a Rolex Datejust.


Rocking Roger Federer also attended Wimbledon 2023 as an audience member, after having retired from playing professional tennis.




Borg v. McEnroe

1980 Wimbledon




The rivalry between John McEnroe and Björn Borg is one of the greatest in history. Rolex created this really cool video so I thought it would be great to share a little more detail on their relationship.


In the photo below taken back in the early 1980s, we see Björn Borg and John McEnroe and they are both wearing Rolex Datejust watches.


In the photo below from 1980, we see André Heiniger with legendary tennis star Bjorn Borg on June 11. On the evening of Men's singles finals at Wimbledon. The 1980 Wimbledon Men's final match was between Björn Borg and John McEnroe was a dramatic struggle which went on for a long time with Borg prevailing. This amazing photo appears courtesy of S3C.
