The Championsh­ips, Wimbledon – London, UK

-

Nadal, Murray or Djokovic; Kvitova, Keys or Venus Williams – who will be victorious is anyone’s guess but the calibre is high as always for this year’s hotly anticipate­d tournament, which is as popular as ever, and not simply for the action on court. Though edgy female players occasional­ly like to challenge the concept of “all-white”, both the dress code and the tradition of playing on grass courts remains unchanged since 1877 – as does a more modern tradition of enjoying centre-court views with Pimms and strawberri­es and cream – to the order of some 320,000 glasses and 140,000 servings each year. www.wimbledon.com
