Wimbledon is a grasscourt Grand Slam managed by the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC). The tournament was first held in 1877. Here is what you need to know about the year's third major after the Australian Open and French Open:
WHERE IS WIMBLEDON TAKING PLACE?* The three main showcourts at the All England Club are Centre Court, Court One and Court Two. Unlike other Grand Slam venues, the All England Club does not name its courts after former players.* Court One has a capacity of 12,345 while Court Two, nicknamed 'Graveyard of Champions', seats 4,000.* The top-ranked players automatically enter the main draw with 32 seeds announced prior to the draw to ensure they do not meet in the early rounds.
* Poland's Iga Swiatek, the French Open and U.S. Open champion, is the women's world number one. Swiatek's best finish at Wimbledon was in 2021, when she made the fourth round.* Organisers also hand out wild cards for local hopes and notable players who have dropped down the rankings.Players from the two countries were banned from last year's tournament following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which Moscow calls a "special military operation.
