Ā WIMBLEDON TENNIS PROGRAMME

The Championships, Wimbledon, commonly known simply asĀ WimbledonĀ orĀ The Championships, is the oldestĀ tennisĀ tournamentĀ in the world and is widely regarded as the most prestigious.[2][3][4][5][6]Ā It has been held at theĀ All England ClubĀ inĀ Wimbledon,Ā London, since 1877 and is played on outdoorĀ grass courts, and since 2009 with a retractable roof overĀ Centre Court, and since 2019, overĀ No. 1 Court.

Wimbledon is one of the fourĀ Grand SlamĀ tennis tournaments, the others being theĀ Australian Open, theĀ French OpenĀ and theĀ US Open. Since the Australian Open shifted toĀ hardcourtĀ in 1988, Wimbledon is the only major still played onĀ grass, which is widely considered as the classic tennis court.[citation needed]

The tournament traditionally took place over two weeks in late June and early July, starting on the last Monday in June and culminating with the Ladies’ and Gentlemen’s Singles Finals, scheduled for the Saturday and Sunday at the end of the second week. However, changes to the tennis calendar in 2015 have seen the event moved back by a week to begin in early July.[7][8]Ā Five major events are held each year, with additional junior and invitational competitions also taking place.

Wimbledon traditions include a strict all-white dress code for competitors and royal patronage.Ā Strawberries and creamĀ are traditionally consumed at the tournament.[9]Ā In 2017, fans consumed 34,000Ā kg (33 tons) of English strawberries and 10,000 litres (2,200 gallons) of cream.

The tournament is also notable for the absence of sponsor advertising around the courts, with the exception ofĀ Rolex, which provides timekeeping technology during matches, andĀ Robinsons barley water.

In 2009, Wimbledon’sĀ Centre CourtĀ was fitted with aĀ retractable roofĀ to lessen the loss of playing time due to rain. A roof was operational over No. 1 Court from 2019, when a number of other improvements were made, including adding cushioned seating and a table.

Due to theĀ COVID-19 pandemic, theĀ 2020 ChampionshipsĀ were cancelled, the first cancellation of the tournament sinceĀ World War II.[10]
