wimbledon
As history has it, Wimbledon started as far back as the nineteenth century and is still a highlight of the world and the pride of England. In 1877, the first Lawn Tennis Championship was held at The All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club. This was still the time when women were not quite as equal as the every day genteleman, so only the men participated in the event. Only ten years later did the women get an equal opportunity. As an outcome thirteen women players actually entered the event. About twenty years following this, the first American woman entered the event and won (Wimbledon 2000). The Wimbledon is probably the most unique tennis tournament. The first reason is that it is the oldest tennis tournament in the world. The second reason is that its courts are made out of grass. The last reason is that even today it is considered the greatest and most prestigeous tournament in the world. It came down to the point where people had to stand to watch the game. So the actual stadium was remodeled and expanded to fit 14,000 people. Even the second World War was not enough to close the club. It even came down to the fact where a bomb struck center court destroying 1,200 seats (wimbledon site).
