Wimbledon is considered as the oldest and most prestigious event in tennis. It usually takes place every June and July in
London, United Kingdom as the third Grandslam tournament after Australian Open and French Open and before the US Open. This is the only tournament being played on grass, except for the Halle and Queens. It was first played under the control of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in 1877 at a ground near Worple Road, Wimbledon. The only event held was the Gentlemen's Singles. The club then added the Ladies' Singles and Gentlemen's Doubles in 1913. The tournament moved to its present home ground near Church Road in 1922.
