The Wimbledon Championships, or simply Wimbledon, is the world's longest-running and most prestigious tennis tournament.
First held in London in 1877, Wimbledon is one of four significant tournaments called The Grand Slam. The winners of these tournaments determine the top tennis players in the world. In addition to Wimbledon, the Grand Slam includes the Australian, French, and US Open.
Wimbledon is unique because the tournament is played on grass rather than on a hard court.
The first Wimbledon Championship began on July 9, 1877, and featured only men's singles Tennis. Women's singles were added in 1884, and ladies and mixed doubles in 1913.
PLEASE NOTE:
Treat all televised and venue-specific events (sporting, concerts, trade shows, etc.) as estimated. Several factors can cause an event to move dates at the last minute, including weather, strikes, natural disasters, political upheaval, conflicting programming, pandemics, and current events. Because of this, always verify the event with the promotor before committing resources. LEEP often estimates dates based on the previous year's schedules, as the final dates are only a few months, weeks, or days before the event. If the date is known to be estimated, you will see an (est) following the date in the title.
