Wimbledon — formally The Championships, Wimbledon — is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, first played in 1877. It is held over two weeks at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in south-west London. It is one of the four Grand Slam tournaments and the only one still played on grass.

Sir Andy Murray is the most successful British player of recent times: he won the men's singles title at Wimbledon in 2013 and 2016 and Olympic gold in 2012 and 2016. Strawberries and cream, queues for ground passes, and the all-white dress code are part of the event's tradition.
You may be asked which surface Wimbledon is played on (grass), which year it was first held (1877), or who was the first British man to win Wimbledon in the modern era (Andy Murray, in 2013).
