Ever wondered what a live tennis scoreboard looks like and how to read it? Let’s break down a real-looking snapshot of Wimbledon matches — one of the most famous tennis tournaments in the world — and learn how it all works!
The entire scoreboard is organized under the Wimbledon tournament. Wimbledon is one of the four biggest tennis events in the world. All the matches below are part of it.
Before we look at the matches, here are the filtering options available to help you find exactly what you want to see:
What does "live" mean? It means the match is being played at this very moment! The scores are changing as the game goes on.
Here’s every match that’s happening right now, organized by court.
Jessica Pegula (Seed #4, serving) vs. Darja Vidmanova
What does "serving" mean? The player who is "serving" is the one who starts each rally by hitting the ball into play. It’s a small advantage!
Rafael Jodar (Seed #23, serving) vs. Felix Gill
What’s a "seed ranking"? Think of it like a leaderboard before the tournament starts. The #1 seed is the player everyone thinks is the best. A seed of #23 means they’re ranked 23rd going into the event.
Emilio Nava vs. Ignacio Buse (Seed #31)
What’s a tie break? When a set reaches 6-6, instead of playing on and on, both players play a special short game called a "tie break" to decide the set. The first to 7 points (and ahead by 2) wins!
Marco Trungelliti vs. Martin Damm (serving)
Denis Shapovalov vs. Pablo Carreno Busta
Aleksandar Kovacevic vs. Botic van de Zandschulp
Aleksandar Vukic vs. Jenson Brooksby
Luca Van Assche vs. Marton Fucsovics
Sara Sorribes Tormo vs. Victoria Jimenez Kasintseva
Mananchaya Sawangkaew vs. Maja Chwalinska (Seed #20, serving)
Shintaro Mochizuki vs. Max Basing
Jaqueline Cristian vs. Iva Jovic (Seed #16)
Andrey Rublev (Seed #12) vs. Roman Safiullin
Dalibor Svrcina vs. Learner Tien (Seed #16, serving)
Belinda Bencic (Seed #11) vs. Mika Stojsavljevic

Wimbledon is packed with exciting matches from all over the world! Each court hosts a different match, with players battling it out one set at a time. Whether you’re rooting for a top seed or an underdog, there’s always great tennis to follow!
Think of seeds like rankings before the tournament begins. If someone is the #1 seed, they’re considered the strongest player in the tournament. Seeds help organize the draw so top players don’t face each other in the early rounds.
It simply means that part of the match is being played right now — the numbers could change any second!
A player needs to win 6 games and be ahead by at least 2 games. If the score reaches 6–6, a tie break is played to decide the set (first to 7 points, leading by 2).
Courts are just different playing areas at the tournament. No.1 Court and No.2 Court are usually the biggest and most important, often hosting the most high-profile matches.
From the scoreboard, you can see both men’s and women’s singles matches happening at the same time across different courts. The filter at the top lets you pick which one you want to watch!
