There won't be a swarm of influencers at Wimbledon next summer after how things have gone so far at the US Open.
Wimbledon does not plan to allow an influx of influencers at the Grand Slam next summer, according to The Press ***** ociation. Security will confiscate items, like ring lights, that could be used to disrupt matches, and Wimbledon will not have any accreditation category for influencers or content creators.
That is in stark contrast to the US Open this fall, which has seen plenty of influencers and other content creators throughout the tournament. That's caused multiple issues already, too.
While the US Open has traditionally had the rowdiest crowd among the four Grand Slams, the influencer debate has taken off throughout the tournament. Roughly 100 influencers and content creators were credentialed as media this year, nearly twice as many from 2025. A pair of influencers had their credentials revoked, too.
People have been creating content at the tournament during matches, including staging photoshoots and bringing in lighting. Naomi Osaka's first-round match even had to be paused.
