Wimbledon 2015 moved back one week

Wimbledon 2015 will start a week later than usual to give players longer to recover from the French Open, the All England Club has confirmed.

A number of players have been critical of the current scheduling by claiming that they need a lengthier break between the clay-court and grass-court seasons.

"The best interests of tennis will be served by allowing the players more time to recuperate and to adjust from the clay of Roland Garros to the grass at Wimbledon," said Philip Brook, chairman of the All England Club.

"All our research indicates that there is widespread support within the game for extending the gap between the French Open and Wimbledon and, importantly, we think most players will welcome the prospect of a longer grass court season and spending more time on the softer surface of grass."

Wimbledon 2015 will start on Monday, June 29 and finish on Sunday, July 12.
