Wimbledon Tennis
originally aired on HBO
Wimbledon has been held since 1877 and is played on outdoor grass courts. It is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is widely regarded as the most prestigious. The tournament traditionally takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, starting either on the last Monday in June or the first Monday in July. Five major events are held each year, with additional junior and invitational competitions also taking place. Strawberries and cream are traditionally consumed at the tournament, in latter years accompanied by champagne.
