Wimbledon Tennis Championships (27/6 to 10-7-2022)

[Garf79]

Wimbledon is back for another year in one weeks time and this year the players will be competing for a prize pool of over 40 million Euros! Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and has been running almost 150 years. Obviously the prize money and the players have improved over time with today's players being highly tuned athletes.

                                                                          

Summer means Tennis

As the calendar turns to June, crowds return to Wimbledon for the tennis championships. Lawn tennis was added to the activities of the All England Croquet Club in 1875. Nine years later the name of the club was altered to All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. (The name remains the same out of sentiment although croquet is no longer played there.)

Originally located off Worple Road, the lawns were laid out so that the principal tennis court was situated in the middle, with other courts arranged around it. The “Center Court” designation remained when the club moved to its present location in 1922. The ladies’ singles joined the men’s matches in 1884 and Wimbledon soon achieved its international fame.
