Wimbledon Tennis Court

Wimbledon Tennis Court

Wimbledon Tennis Court is the home of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, a private sports club located in Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom. It hosted tennis events during the 2012 London Olympics. Unlike the Wimbledon Championships, the organizers did not enforce the traditional all-white dress code, making it the first time the All England Club allowed players to compete in non-white attire.

The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club originally started as a venue for amateur players to compete during the summer, where the championship itself became more famous than the club. However, it continues to operate as a private club. The world-renowned Wimbledon Open began in 1877. Currently, Wimbledon Tennis Court is the only remaining large-scale grass court stadium in the world. The courts have undergone renovations, including the installation of a retractable roof over Centre Court. The Olympic tennis events will take place three weeks after the conclusion of the 2012 Wimbledon Championships. After the Olympics, the venue will continue to host the Wimbledon Open every summer.
