Recognized as “The Lawn Tennis Championships,” The Wimbledon Championships stand as the venerable and perhaps most esteemed tournament in the world of tennis. Held each year in June or July, this historic event takes place at the All England Club, located in the enchanting suburb of Wimbledon in London.
Traditionally, the tournament commences six weeks prior to the first Monday in August and spans two weeks, although rain delays may lead to extensions. Starting in 2015, the event’s start date was shifted by one week to allow for a three-week hiatus following the conclusion of the French Open, enhancing the preparation time for players.
With a legacy steeped in tradition and sporting excellence, Wimbledon continues to captivate audiences worldwide as the pinnacle of tennis tournaments.
