Brief Introduction to Wimbledon

Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament of the world and perhaps that is why it is officially being called as ‘The Championships! The other popular names are Wimbledon and The Wimbledon Championships. It is not only the oldest tennis tournament, but it is also the most prestigious among all the four Grand Slams. Winning Wimbledon is totally different for any tennis player than winning the other three grand slams, it is like a dream come true.

 

The main reason for this could be the surface. It is the only major tournament, which is played on grass which is really demanding for any tennis player to perform. Previously Australian Open too used to be played on grass courts, but then in 1988 it was shifted to hard court and that has made Wimbledon even more important.

Since 2009 the famous and most respected ‘Center Court’ has been fitted with a roof which is retractable so that the loss of play can be lessened, caused by the rains.

Schedule

Wimbledon Championships traditionally takes place over two weeks in late June and early July. The ‘Ladies’ and the ‘Gentleman’s’ Singles

Final are schedule for the second Saturday and Sunday of the tournament.

Dress Code

To participate in Wimbledon, players must wear cloths predominantly white.
