Wimbledon Championships, internationally known tennis championships played annually in London at Wimbledon.
The tournament, held in late June and early July, is one of the four annual “Grand Slam” tennis events—along with the Australian, French, and U.S. Opens—and is the only one still played on natural grass. The first Wimbledon championship was held in 1877 on one of the croquet lawns of the All England Croquet and Lawn Tennis Club (since 1899 the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club). In 1884 a women’s championship was introduced at Wimbledon, and the national men’s doubles was transferred there from Oxford. Mixed doubles and women’s doubles were inaugurated in 1913.

In 1920 Suzanne Lenglen of France became the first person to win three Wimbledon championships (in singles and doubles events) in a single year; in 1937 Don Budge of the United States became the first man to win three Wimbledon championships in a single year. (In 1938 he repeated that feat, and he also won the other three championships of the Grand Slam.) In 1980 Björn Borg of Sweden won the men’s singles for a fifth consecutive year; this was a feat not achieved since the winning streaks of William Renshaw (1880s) and Laurie Doherty (1900s), which were held under the old challenge-round system that gave an advantage to defending champions. Martina Navratilova of the United States won six consecutive women’s championships (1982–87), eclipsing the record of Lenglen (1919–23). In 1990 Navratilova captured her ninth single’s title to break the record set by Helen Wills. Later notable players at Wimbledon include Pete Sampras of the United States, who in 2000 won his seventh title to tie Renshaw, and Roger Federer of Switzerland, whose fifth consecutive title in 2007 equaled Borg’s streak; in 2012 Federer also captured a record-tying seventh Wimbledon title.
The Wimbledon Championships, originally played by amateurs, were opened to professional players in 1968; Rod Laver of Australia and Billie Jean King of the United States won the singles events that year. The current championships, in addition to men’s and women’s singles and doubles and mixed doubles, include events for junior boys and girls. The Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Museum chronicles the history of the sport.
