Wimbledon Tournament History

Your tickets info exactly here:

The Championships moved to their present location, at a ground near Church Road, in 1922. As with the other three Grand Slam events, it was contested by top-ranked amateur players until the advent of the open era in tennis in 1968. Britons are very proud of the wimbledon tournament, but it is a source of national anguish and humour — no British man has won the singles event at Wimbledon since Fred Perry in 1936, and no British woman since Virginia Wade in 1977.

Events

Each year, the tournament begins six weeks before the first Monday in August. It is held two weeks after the Queen's Club Championships, which is considered the major warm-up for  male players. Another important warm-up wimbledon tournament for the men is the Gerry Weber Open, which is held in Halle, Germany at about the same time as the Queen's Club Championships. Traditionally, tournament there is no play on the "Middle Sunday," which is considered a rest day. However, rain has forced play on the Middle Sunday thrice in tournament Championships history: in 1991, 1997, and 2004. On each of these occasions, Wimbledon has staged a "People's Sunday", with unreserved seating and readily available, inexpensive tickets.

Players and seeding

A total of 128 players feature in each singles t event, 64 pairs in each single-sex doubles event, and 48 pairs in Mixed Doubles.
