The broadcast will also be in HD so this year promises to bring you closer than ever to the action if you can't visit the tournament this year.
The Chief Executive of The All England Lawn Tennis Club, Ian Ritchie spoke about the move to show the world’s most famous tennis tournament in the three dimensional format:
“Wimbledon is renowned for its heritage and sense of tradition. At the same time we are always looking for ways to improve the presentation of The Championships by successfully blending that tradition with innovation.”
The tournament and fans will benefit from the 3D broadcast in cinemas, with the big screen adding to the feeling of ‘event TV’, as will the format benefit from such a prestigious tournament showcasing the qualities 3D broadcasting can offer to live sport.
The BBC has also announced it will broadcast the the men's and women's singles finals at this year's Wimbledon Championships live in 3D.
The matches, scheduled to be played on Saturday 2 July and Sunday 3 July, will be the first programmes to be shown in 3D by the BBC.
The free-to-air broadcast will be available to anyone who has access to a 3D TV set and HD Channels.
Danielle Nagler, head of BBC HD and 3D, said: "We're bringing audiences a new way of getting close to the action."
