BLAST is making a racket in the E-Sports Scene

5th July 2024

The All England Lawn Tennis Club announces their first ever Wimbledon eChamps.

BLAST has teamed up with Wimbledon and TopSpin 2k25 to produce the first ever official E-Sports tournament with the Wimbledon eChamps presented by American Express, Official Partner of The Championships since 2019.

The TopSpin 2K25 eChamps will begin with open qualifiers in Europe and North America, with qualifying matches starting on the 6th of July. The event signifies the revival of the beloved tennis simulation video game series. Eligible TopSpin 2K25 players will work their way up the rankings and attempt to qualify for the live in-person finals, to be held at Wimbledon in September (post “IRL” in real life Wimbledon!) competing for the honour of being crowned the first ever Wimbledon eChampion!
