1. Wimbledon

   The Championships, Wimbledon, The Wimbledon Championships or simply Wimbledon is the oldest tennis tournament in the world, and widely considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in Wimbledon, London since 1877. It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, the others being the Australian Open, French Open and US Open. Wimbledon is the only Major still played on grass, the game's original surface, which gave the game its original name of "lawn tennis". The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Singles Final, scheduled for the second Saturday and Sunday respectively. Each year five major events are contested, as well as four junior events and three invitational events. The hard court Australian Open and clay court French Open precede Wimbledon in the year, and the hard court US Open follows. For men, the grass court Queen's Club Championships, also in London, and the Gerry Weber Open in Halle, Germany, serve as warm-up events; for women, the Aegon Classic in Birmingham and two joint events, the UNICEF Open in 's-Hertogenbosch, Netherlands and the Eastbourne International.

Examples of wimbledon in a Sentence

1. Angelique Kerber:

   I think it is a completely new match. We both learned a lot. She's coming back. For me, I'm coming back from 2017, i can't compare this year with 2016 or 17. I'm really proud to be back in the Wimbledon final, especially after last year where things weren't like I was expecting.

2. Andy Murray:

   I can play with limitations but having the limitations and the pain is not allowing me to enjoy competing or training, wimbledon is where I would like to stop playing but I am not certain I am able to do that.

3. John Hardman:

   This is tremendously damaging. The workers don't feel welcome, and they ask if they will still have a job next year. The growers are extremely concerned as to where the supply of labour is going to come from, people here don't seem to realise that pretty much every single strawberry eaten at Wimbledon will have been picked by an eastern European.

4. Andy Murray:

   Just playing with no idea when the pain was going to stop, and I felt like making that decision, i said to my team,' Look, I think I can kind of get through this until Wimbledon.' That was where I'd like to stop — stop playing. But I'm also not certain I'm able to do that.

5. Andy Murray:

   I’ve had some great moments on those grass courts, it's where I won my first professional match and my first title in Britain. The year I won Wimbledon, it came a few weeks after winning at Queen’s, and it’s perfect preparation.
