Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and probably the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the only one still played on the game's original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name.

The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with the ladies' and gentlemen's singles final, scheduled respectively for the second Saturday and Sunday. Each year, five major events are contested, as well as four junior events and four invitational events. Players have to wear white out of tradition and many of them have been wearing designer outfits in the last few tournaments.
Many countries broadcast Wimbledon and the UK tends to get obsessed with it every year. The great thing is spectators can queue up to buy tickets for Centre Court, Court 1 and 2 on the day itself. So attending a match between some of the best seeds in the world can become a reality.
