OPENING SET

There’s a reason Wimbledon is simply referred to as The Championships. Such is the prestige of the oldest tennis championship in the world that the slogan In Pursuit of Greatness seems apt. Dating back to 1877, the tightly cropped grass courts of the All England Club have been the stage for the dramatic and the majestic. The greatest names in the sport are indelibly linked to the championship in their own way, each carving out a place in tennis history - writing the storylines that have defined 132 editions of the tournament.

Wimbledon lore is built on more than just its importance within the realm of sports. A bastion of tradition, The All England Club retains cherished customs that contribute to Wimbledon mythology. Royal patronage, suits and blazers, the all-white dress code for the players, the strawberries and cream, these are some of the mainstays that make Wimbledon familiar, timeless and special.
