The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club originally started as a venue where amateur players competed during the summer, and the tournament champions became more well-known than the club itself. However, it continues to operate as a club to this day. The world-famous Wimbledon Open began in 1877. Currently, Wimbledon Tennis Court is the only remaining large-scale grass court in the world. The stands have been renovated and a retractable roof has been installed over Centre Court. The tennis events of the London Olympics took place three weeks after the conclusion of the 2012 Wimbledon Open. After the Olympics, Wimbledon Tennis Court will continue to host the Wimbledon Open every summer.
