history

By 1884, all English clubs have increased women's singles and men's doubles competitions. 19 13 added women's doubles and mixed doubles. The championship was moved to the present site, Church Road 1922. Like the other three Grand Slam events, before the tennis open era of 1968, Wimbledon was only open to top amateurs. The British are very proud of winning the championship, but this is also the source of their national depression and humor: British men have not won the singles championship since Fred Perry of 1936; The last British women's singles champion was Virginia Wade 1977.
court
The main stadium is called the "center stadium", where the finals are held. Due to the unpredictable weather in London during the competition, the stadium is equipped with a collapsible roof and is expected to be completed in 2009. The stadium 1 was rebuilt on a large scale by 1997, and moved from the original site of the adjacent central stadium to a new dedicated venue that can accommodate more spectators. The original No.1 Stadium is said to have a unique atmosphere and is the favorite place of many players, so many people feel sad about its relocation. 1 Stadium usually hosts some very important games, such as the singles quarter-finals, and it also has a huge external screen for fans gathered on Mount Henman outside the stadium to enjoy the games. Every year, thousands of fans cheer for local players who hit the championship on this hillside, but unfortunately, since 1936, British players have never lifted the championship trophy again.
The reason why No.2 Stadium has the title of "Tomb of Champions" is that the seed players who play here are usually eliminated by the opponents who rank lower. Previous victims included andre agassi, roger federer and pete sampras, who almost dragged tim henman into the water in the first round of the competition in 2005.
