Brace yourselves tennis fans, as we are about to see one of the most unexpected collaborations of all time. The biggest event of the tennis calendar is set to feature in one of the most popular video games. Yes, we are talking about Wimbledon and Fortnite. Released in 2017, the finest production of Epic Games continues to thrive in its sixth year of existence.

Although Fortnite is famous for its crossovers, collaboration with Wimbledon does come as a surprise for some fans. Wimbledon continues to expand its digital presence and the partnership with Fortnite just sounds about right.

What to expect in the Wimbledon-Fortnite crossover?

The All England Tennis Club launched Race to Wimbledon and tied hands with Fortnite in its next big step to appease the digital world. The courts of SW19 on Fortnite look as real as possible courtesy of the animations. Aside from Wimbledon and the tennis courts, the game has incorporated famous London landmarks including London Eye and Big Ben.

Chris Clements, digital products lead at the All England Club, said via TGF ?The magic of Wimbledon has reached many generations of fans in every corner of the world. With changes in the way people consume content and interact with sports events, it is important that we find new ways to reach them and convey what makes Wimbledon so special. We believe this range of initiatives, including Race to Wimbledon, will help us achieve this ambition.?

However, as surprised as one might be, this isn’t the first Tennis collaboration from Fortnite. They signed a deal with Naomi Osaka back in 2022.
