|  | The All England Lawn Tennis Club
The Lawn Tennis Championships at Wimbledon have developed from the garden party atmosphere of the first meeting in 1877, witnessed by a few hundred spectators, to a highly professional tournament attracting an attendance of over 450,000 people and through the press, radio, Internet and television a following of millions throughout the world.
The Tournament starts each year six weeks before the first Monday in August and lasts for a fortnight or for as long as necessary to complete all events. Players from over 60 nations regularly compete.
There are five main Championship events:
Gentlemen's Singles (128 draw)
Ladies' Singles (128 draw)
Gentlemen's Doubles (64 draw)
Ladies' Doubles (64 draw)
Mixed Doubles (64 draw) |
| | Get close to the action on the outside courts. There are some great matches during the 1st week, and the tickets are easy to obtain. |
