Everything To Know About Wimbledon Championship
Wimbledon is the oldest and most well-known tennis competition in the world. It has been played on outdoor grass courts at the “All England Club” in Wimbledon, London, since 1877. Another name for Wimbledon is The Championships. One of the four main tennis competitions (Grand Slams) held annually. Wimbledon is the only one of the four annual major tennis competitions known as the “Grand Slams” that is still played on grass, hence the name lawn tennis. Grass is the surface where tennis matches can be played the quickest.

Wimbledon’s customs include a rigid all-white attire requirement for contestants and royal sponsorship. At the competition, strawberries and cream are typically ingested. The 2017 event saw supporters consume 34,000 kg of strawberries and 10,000 liters of cream. One of the tournament’s unique characteristics is the lack of on-court advertising from sponsors other than Rolex, which supplies match timing equipment.
