Did you know that The Championships, Wimbledon (known just as Wimbledon to those in the know) was established in 1877 and is the oldest tennis tournament in the world? Held annually in midsummer at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London, the tournament is known for hosting the world’s most legendary tennis players. Past champions include Venus and Serena Williams, John McEnroe, Andre Agassi, and Roger Federer.

Players are held to a strict standard of etiquette at the tournament and are required to dress in full tennis whites. Along with the best athletes, it also attracts the crème de la crème of society, celebrities, and even royalty who are frequently spotted in the stands. In 2015, almost half a million people attended the tournament over a two-week period.
