Overview
- The All England Club told player representatives it will use the same backstage camera set-up as last year for the 2026 Championships.
- Wimbledon said private areas for players and teams will remain off-limits, with all cameras clearly visible and their locations shared before the tournament.
- An in-house team will review behind-the-scenes footage before any broadcast, limiting direct transmission of raw material to TV and social media.
- The decision follows high-profile complaints linked to Australian Open corridor cameras, including Coco Gauff’s viral racket-smash and Iga Świątek’s security clip, with Jessica Pegula also citing a 2023 Sabalenka incident.
- A leading agent wrote to all four majors over privacy concerns, and the stance unfolds alongside broader tensions after top players rejected a proposed Grand Slam players’ council tied to influence over major decisions.
