Wimbledon Tennis Tournament

-

Every year Wimbledon, a quiet suburb in the south of London, turns into the internatio­nal capital of tennis. For two weeks, the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club hosts the Wimbledon Tennis Tournament, the most prestigiou­s of the four tournament­s that make up the Grand Slam series. Wimbledon is the only large tennis tournament in the world that is played on grass courts. Playing on grass requires a faster reaction time and more power, especially when serving. The surface makes the ball bounce low and its trajectory is hard to predict. The grass on the Wimbledon tennis courts is grown at a special farm in Yorkshire and the secret of its production and storage is closely guarded.

When & Where: 27th June to 10th July, Wimbledon, Great Britain. www.wimbledon.com.
