1877 saw the inaugural Wimbledon Championship, featuring Gentlemen’s Singles competitions for singles players only. Two years later (1884), Ladies Singles and Gentlemen’s Doubles competitions were introduced before 1913 saw Ladies Doubles and Mixed Doubles competitions emerge. From 1912 until 1924, this tournament was known as The World Grass Court Championships; initially shown to the public via television around 1937. Wimbledon followed the same rules as its three other Grand Slam events (Australian Open, French Open & US Open) by restricting participation to amateurs with the highest rankings. However, this changed with the start of open era play in 1968 where professional players could participate.

Since 2009, Wimbledon’s retractable roof has been used to ensure rain wouldn’t interfere with play at Centre Court. One of the first Wimbledon singles finals played under its shelter was in 2012 between Roger Federer and Andy Murray for Men’s Singles Final played under its shelter. Since 2018, however, when scoring is tied 12-12 at any set’s conclusion a tie break will take place instead; this rule came about after Kevin Anderson beat John Isner 26-24 in five sets in semi-final matchup between these two.

Novak Djokovic may only be the second-ranked player, yet bookmakers make him their top choice to win Wimbledon men’s singles title. Already winning both Australian Open and French Open titles this season, he is the 8/13 favorite at Coral for another Grand Slam win at SW19 in 2023. Carlos Alcaraz of Spain currently ranks world #1 and 7/2 favorites to claim first major win this Wimbledon – while Andy Murray may well become an unlikely hero if he can get one more major at SW19! We’ve seen plenty of patriotic backing towards Scotsman Andy Murray at 40-1 odds who may just surprise us all by taking home another major at SW19!
