This deal is claimed to “unite two iconic British institutions.”

The first partnership between the two entities dates to the 1960s, when first sub-branch of Barclay, a 330-year-old banking organisation, in the area was built directly below the stands of Centre Court of Wimbledon, which was first staged in 1877.

Barclays has enlisted tennis player Frances Tiafoe to launch the partnership.

The All England Lawn Tennis Club chief executive Sally Bolton said: “We are delighted to welcome Barclays as the Official Banking Partner of The Championships. Barclays’ commitment to creating access to sport for all is something that we are passionate about and, thanks to their generous support of the Wimbledon Foundation, will be a central theme of our partnership.”
