It's time to say goodbye to the 2021 Wimbledon live stream. Yesterday, Ashleigh Barty defeated Karolina Pliskova in the women's singles final to win her first Wimbledon title.

Like Barty, Novak Djokovic's route to the final was one of the smoothest. However, he struggled in the semifinals.

While Djokovic is the defending champion, the women at this tournament were without Simona Halep, who defeated Williams at Wimbledon in 2019. She had to abstain due to a calf injury. Yes, the world's No. 3-ranked star made the decision on Friday to sit out herself, following her absence from the French Open.

Halep was not the only one to miss the French Open. Women's tennis No. 2 Naomi Osaka, ranked No. 2 in the women's tennis rankings, released a statement earlier this month saying she would not be attending Wimbledon and would "spend personal time with friends and family."

Osaka's decision to miss the French Open garnered more headlines than the tournament itself, as she chose to prioritize her own mental health over press conference obligations. In her absence, Belarus' Alina Sabalenka (now seeded second) and Ash Barty (seeded first) were the biggest threats to win the tournament, with Barty reaching the final.

For British fans, the Wimbledon matches are not only at a reasonable time (11:00 a.m. BST, not as early as in the U.S.), but are also broadcast for free on the BBC.

The matches are broadcast on BBC One, BBC Two, and Red Button, with BBC iPlayer available for those without an actual TV nearby.

Brits who want to watch from abroad can connect using a VPN. How to do that?

If you have to leave your "bubble" or suffer a horrible local power outage, you are not out of luck if you are unable to watch the 2021 Wimbledon live stream on cable TV. With a virtual private network (VPN), you can pretend you are surfing the web from your hometown and access the same streaming services you have already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? After testing a variety of services, the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. They offer great speed and excellent customer service.

After signing up, simply download and install Express VPN on your laptop, cell phone, or other device and select a server in your home location. Then simply launch your preferred streaming service and enjoy Wimbledon as if you were at home.

In the United States, Wimbledon matches are broadcast on ESPN and the Tennis channel. Matches begin at 6:00 a.m. EST and 3:00 a.m. PST.

You can watch both channels on Sling TV (via Sling Orange with Sports Extra) or Fubo TV's entry package. Both are on our list of best streaming services, but tennis fans who also like basketball will not want to use Fubo, which has no TNT.

Canadian tennis fans only need TSN for this event, which can be subscribed to a la carte or added to a package; TSN's streaming-only service starts at $19.99 CAD per month, a $4.99 CAD per day option It is much more affordable than.
