The enduring legacy of Wimbledon

Champions reflect on what The Championships mean to them

- 

Wimbledon is where history, elegance and human endeavour converge.

For Rolex Testimonees, Wimbledon have long represented the pinnacle of the sport, a place where individual stories become part of a much larger tradition.

Since 1978, the partnership between Rolex and the tournament has mirrored the values they share: precision, perseverance and respect for legacy.

Over the decades, that connection has deepened, not only through moments of victory but in the quiet resolve behind each athlete's journey.

Carlos Alcaraz returns to SW19 this year with history in his sights, hoping to match the feats of fellow Testimonees Björn Borg, Garbiñe Muguruza and Roger Federer.

Meanwhile, Belinda Bencic steps back onto the grass as a mother and former junior champion, her path shaped by the same belief in excellence that unites the Rolex family.

Here, in their own words, some of the sport's most accomplished figures reflect on what Wimbledon has meant to them - and how their relationship with Rolex continues to inspire.
