What is Wimbledon?

The Wimbledon Championship (known worldwide simply as Wimbledon) is the third Grand Slam tournament of the tennis calendar, and is broadly considered the most prestigious tennis tournament in the world.

The event was first held in 1877, at the tournament’s home at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club.

The event is the only Grand Slam tournament held on grass courts, with Wimbledon’s Centre Court considered by many to be the greatest arena in tennis.

The tournament has a strict all-white dress code for players, while fans enjoy traditional Wimbledon food including their world-famous strawberries and cream between matches.

The next edition of Wimbledon is scheduled to take place from July 3 to 16, 2023.

Who won the last Wimbledon?

The 2022 Wimbledon men’s singles championship was won by Serbia’s Novak Djokovic, who defeated Australia’s Nick Kyrgios in four sets to claim his seventh Wimbledon men’s singles title.

The women’s title was won by Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina, who came from a set down to defeat Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur and make history by becoming the first Kazakhstani players to win a major tennis title.

The Australian pair of Matthew Ebden and Max Purcell took home the men’s doubles title, while the Czech duo of Barbora Krejcikova and Katerina Siniakova claimed the women’s doubles crown. Great Britain’s Neal Skupsi and the USA’s Desirae Krawczyk took the mixed doubles championship.

Wimbledon history

The first ever Wimbledon Championship was held in 1877, with the first women’s tournament being held from 1884. The prize for the winner was 12 guineas – a far cry from the estimated $62 million awarded at the most recent edition of the tournament in 2022. An interesting feature of the early tournaments was that the defending champion automatically progressed to the following year’s final, until that rule was abolished in 1922.

Wimbledon has been held nearly every year since its first tournament, pausing only between 1915 to 1918 and 1940 to 1945 due to World Wars I and II respectively, and in 2020 when it was cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Homegrown singles success has been a notably rare occurrence at the tournament, with no British man winning the singles title for 77 years until Andy Murray did so in 2013 and no British woman being able to do so since Virginia Wade in 1977. No Canadian player has ever won a singles title at Wimbledon, although Milos Raonic reached the men’s final in 2016 and Eugenie Bouchard lost the women’s final in 2014.
