2010 Wimbledon Championships: 21st June – 4th July

The Championships are the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is generally considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club Wimbledon since 1877.  It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the only one still played on the game's original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name.

The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with the ladies' and gentlemen's singles final, scheduled respectively for the second Saturday and Sunday.
