What makes Wimbledon unique?

Wimbledon remains the only Grand Slam played on grass courts, making it one of the most distinctive tournaments in tennis. The fast surface rewards aggressive play, precise serving, and quick movement, often producing different champions compared to the clay courts of Roland Garros or the hard courts of Melbourne and New York.

With a packed two-week schedule featuring elite professionals, rising juniors and wheelchair athletes, Wimbledon continues to showcase every level of world-class tennis under one prestigious banner.
