-
Players and pairs who neither have high enough rankings nor receive wild cards may participate in a qualifying tournament held one week before Wimbledon at the Bank of England
Sports Ground in Roehampton. -
1 Court, are normally used for only two weeks a year, during the Championships, but play can extend into a third week in exceptional circumstances.
-
[40] Before 2022, the second Monday at Wimbledon was often called “Manic Monday”, because it is the busiest day with the last-16 matches for both men’s and women’s singles,
where fans have a pick of watching on a single day, any of the best 32 players left; which is also unique in a Grand Slam singles competition. -
As a result of the COVID-19 global pandemic, the All England Club announced on 1 April 2020 that the entire grass-court season was to be cancelled as a public safety precaution,
marking the first time a Wimbledon tournament would not be played since World War II. -
[18] A new retractable roof was built in time for the 2009 championships, marking the first time that rain did not stop play for a lengthy time on Centre Court.
-
The show courts were in action for the second time in three months in 2012 as Wimbledon hosted the tennis events of the 2012 Olympic Games.
-
One of the show courts is also used for home ties of the Great Britain teams in the Davis Cup on occasions.
-
[41] Since 2015, the championships have begun one week later than in previous years, extending the gap between the tournament and the French Open from two to three weeks.
-
Traditionally, unlike the other three tennis Grand Slams, there was no play on the “Middle Sunday”, which is considered a rest day.
-
Schedule Each year the tournament begins on the last Monday in June or first Monday in July, two weeks after the Queen’s Club Championships, which is one of the men’s major
warm-up tournaments, together with the Gerry Weber Open, which is held in Halle, Germany, during the same week. -
Centre Court usually hosts the finals and semifinals of the main events, as well as many matches in the earlier rounds involving top-seeded players or local favourites.
-
As the attendance at the Championships grew, it became obvious before the First World War that the 8,000 ground capacity at Worple Road was inadequate, and so the Club started
looking for a new site. -
Five major events are held each year, with additional junior and invitational competitions also taking place.
-
At one time, all the Majors, except the French Open, were played on grass.
-
[30] Club officials considered playing the tournament behind closed doors, but this was ruled out in part because at least 5,000 people–including ballboys, officials, coaches,
maintenance, and security–would have still needed to be on site to hold a functioning tournament. -
[51] Plans to build on the current site of Court 13 were dismissed due to the high capacity of games played at the 2012 Olympic Games.
-
[11] In 1876, lawn tennis, a game devised by Major Walter Clopton Wingfield a year or so earlier as an outdoor version of real tennis and originally given the name Sphairistikè,
was added to the activities of the club. -
Since 1922, the prior year’s champions were required to play all the rounds, like other tournament competitors.
-
This was in large part due to other Grand Slam tournaments such as the French Open and Australian Open also announcing expansion and re-development plans.
-
[21] In 2012, the All England Club hosted the Summer Olympic Games and became the first Olympic grass court tournament since tennis was reintroduced as an Olympic sport and
the first to be held at a Grand Slam venue in the Open era. -
Former player and current All England Club board member Tim Henman told the Tennis Channel of the US that the board had carefully considered holding a closed-door Wimbledon.
-
The Committee seeds the top players and pairs on the basis of their rankings, but it could change the seedings based on a player’s previous grass court performance.
-
[2][3][4][5][6] It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, since 1877 and is played on outdoor grass courts, with retractable roofs over the two main courts
since 2019. -
[25] Part of the plan also includes acquiring the land of the adjacent Wimbledon Park Golf club for £65 million, so that the tournament qualifying matches can be played on
site. -
Up to and including the 2018 tournament, a tiebreak game is played if the score reaches 6–all in any set except the fifth (in a five-set match) or the third (in a three-set
match), in which case a two-game lead must be reached. -
[62] Starting in 2005, BBGs work in teams of six, two at the net, four at the corners, and teams rotate one hour on court, one hour off, (two hours depending on the court)
for the day’s play. -
[39] The five main events span both weeks, but the junior and invitational events are held mainly during the second week.
-
The tournament traditionally takes 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. -
[45] From 2002 to 2019, the top 32 players (according to the ATP rankings) were seeded according to a formula that more heavily weighted previous grass-court tournaments:
ATP Entry System Position points + 100% points earned for all grass court tournaments in the past 12 months + 75% points earned for the best grass court tournament in the 12 months before that. -
Murray was also involved in the match completed latest in the day at Wimbledon, which ended at 11:02 pm in a victory over Marcos Baghdatis at Centre Court in the third round
of the 2012 Championships. -
This led to many winners retaining their titles in successive years, as they were able to rest while their opponent competed from the start of the competition.
-
Usually, wild cards are players who have performed well during previous tournaments or would stimulate public interest in Wimbledon by participating.
-
[42] Additionally the Stuttgart Open men’s tournament converted to a grass surface and was rescheduled from July to June, extending the grass court season.
-
With the expansion of the number of courts, and lengthening the tennis day, as of 2008, the number of BBGs required is around 250.
-
However, rain has forced play on the Middle Sunday four times, in 1991, 1997, 2004 and 2016.
-
[14] However, in 1980 four new courts were brought into commission on the north side of the ground, which meant the Centre Court was once more correctly described.
-
As of 2011, early training occurs at the Wimbledon All England Lawn Tennis Club Covered Courts, to the side of the Grounds, and then moves to outside cou
-
Though formally called “The Championships, Wimbledon”, depending on sources the event is also known as “The All England Lawn Tennis Championships”, the “Wimbledon Championships”
or simply “Wimbledon”. -
Starting on the second Wednesday, the number of BBGs is reduced due to the decrease in the number of matches per day, leaving around 80 on the final Sunday.
-
[27][28] In a related statement, it was announced that starting at the 2019 Championships, quad wheelchair competitions would become a permanent event.
-
[12] The lawns at the ground were arranged so that the principal court was in the middle with the others arranged around it, hence the title “Centre Court”.
-
21st century[edit] Wimbledon is widely considered the world’s premier tennis tournament and the priority of the club is to maintain its leadership.
-
On the first of these four occasions, Wimbledon staged a “People’s Sunday”, with unreserved seating and readily available, inexpensive tickets, allowing those with more limited
means to sit on the show courts. -
Centre Court is covered by full-time groundstaff, however.
-
Also, it is the only Grand Slam that retains a night-time curfew, though matches can now continue until 11.00 pm under the lights.
-
[17] Stage one (1994–1997) of the plan was completed for the 1997 championships and involved building the new No.
-
After the Club moved to the current site in Church Road, the old Worple Road ground then became the Wimbledon High School playing field, which it remains today.
-
Because of the summer climate in southern England, Wimbledon employs ‘Court Attendants’ each year, who work to maintain court conditions.
-
The Club tested the new roof at an event called A Centre Court Celebration on Sunday, 17 May 2009, which featured exhibition matches involving Andre Agassi, Steffi Graf, Kim
Clijsters, and Tim Henman. -
[26] On 19 October 2018, it was announced that a tie-break will be played if the score reaches 12–12 in the final set of any match; this will apply to all competitions including
in qualifying, singles, and doubles. -
-
22 men paid a guinea to enter the tournament, which was to be held over five days.
-
The rain delayed it four more days and thus, on 19 July 1877, the final was played.
-
1 Court complex to make way for the new Millennium Building, providing extensive facilities for players, press, officials and members, and the extension of the West Stand
of the Centre Court with 728 extra seats. -
[20] On 1 August 2011, the All England Club transferred all of its assets relating to The Championships to a separate though wholly owned subsidiary, The All England Lawn
Tennis Club (Championships) Limited, also known as AELTC. -
[27] In 2022 it was decided all matches would have a final set tie break once the match reached 6–6, with a champions tie break taking place meaning the winner needs to get
to 10 points and win by two clear points. -
The championships did go ahead in 1946 even though the damage meant that 1,200 seats were lost.
-
Up to 1921, the winners of the previous year’s competition (except in the Ladies’ Doubles and Mixed Doubles) were automatically granted byes into the final round (then known
as the challenge round). -
The other women’s warm-up tournament for Wimbledon is Birmingham, also in Great Britain.
-
2 Court has been used at Wimbledon with a capacity for 4,000 people.
-
As with the other three Major or Grand Slam events, Wimbledon was contested by top-ranked amateur players; professional players were prohibited from participating.
-
[citation needed] Players are admitted to the junior tournaments upon the recommendations of their national tennis associations, on their International Tennis Federation world
rankings and, in the case of the singles events, on the basis of a qualifying competition. -
The Committee of Management determines which players may enter the four invitational events.
-
The US Open abandoned grass in 1975 for green clay and the Australian Open did so in 1988 for hard courts; the US Open eventually adopted hard courts as well.
-
[22] In April 2013, Wimbledon unveiled its ‘Master Plan’ a vision in which to improve the championships over the next 10–15 years.
