Wimbledon is Here!

Wimbledon Day 1 Highlights
Wimbledon 2025 started with a scorcher—temperatures soared to a record-breaking 32.3°C on day 1! The extreme heat triggered extra cooling measures across the grounds, with water stations, ice packs, and medical support made available for both players and spectators.

Why Fitness is the True Champion’s Secret
Wimbledon champions aren’t just skilled players—they’re athletic powerhouses. Here’s what it really takes to compete at the top level:

Endurance for those long, punishing rallies

Speed and agility to chase down every ball

Explosive strength for powerful serves and strokes

Core stability for perfect rotation and balance

Mental resilience to handle pressure, heat, and fatigue

Take a page from Novak Djokovic’s routine: he begins each day with yoga or tai chi to improve flexibility and cultivate a calm, focused mindset.
