As the oldest major tennis championships, Wimbledon is widely considered the most prestigious. Held in the summer (from late June to July), Wimbledon is the third Grand Slam event in an annual season.
The first Gentlemen’s singles event held at Wimbledon dates back to 1877. In 1884, the All England Club added Ladies Singles and Gentlemen’s Doubles.
Wimbledon is perhaps best known for its history and traditions. One of the longest standing traditions at Wimbledon is the stipulation all players wear almost everything white during matches.
