The oldest tennis tournament in the world - Wimbledon

Wimbledon is the top grass-court tennis tournament and probably the most famous tennis event in the world. Although the tournament - and the popularity of the game originated in Britain. As the world's oldest lawn tennis tournament (Wimbledon was founded in 1877), the event is bound on all sides by traditions - from what the players and spectators wear to the way they're expected to behave inside the tennis club and what they eat and drink. Unlike some of England's other major social sports events, the majority of Wimbledon tickets are reserved for the public who compete in the Wimbledon Ticket Ballot for the right to purchase a pair of seats. A limited number of tickets for the Center Courts and Courts 1 and 2 are reserved for sale to the public on all but the last four match days. Another 6,000 Ground Admission tickets are available every day. And all you have to do to get one of these is get there early and, rain or shine, stand in the queue. These days, they've turned camping out for an early place in the ticket queue into a more civilized affair - with a wake-up call, toilet and washing-up facilities, and even tea. This year the Championships run from Monday 3rd July to Sunday 16th July. #wimbledon #wimbledon2023 #tennis #grandslam #london #atp #london #sw19
