The Wimbledon Championships is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and widely considered to be the biggest and the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, the other three majors being the Australian Open, French Open and US Open. Wimbledon is the only Major still played on grass, the game’s original surface, which gave the game its original name of “lawn tennis”.
