The All England Lawn Tennis Club is investing in bringing The Championships, Wimbledon, closer to its growing fan base in India. Following a remarkable 96% increase in viewership since 2022, the club identifies India as a crucial growth market.

A strategic partnership with Star Sports Network will bring Hindi commentary for the first time, making the event even more accessible to Indian viewers.
