With strawberries and cream, sunny weather and outdoor lawn tennis, Wimbledon in late June/ early July is one of the pillars of the summer
Season. Tennis fans come from all over the world to watch the two week competition between the great champions. The first official tennis
tournament was played in 1877 at the famous 'All England Tennis and Croquet Club', which still organizes the event. Wimbledon enjoys royal
patronage and it is the Duke of Kent, who is the president of the club. The Duchess of Kent generally presents the prizes to the winners of
the Ladies' and Gentlemen's Singles and Doubles. The Centre Court is where the most important matches are played and the place to be - if
you can get tickets. However, it is also fun to go to one of the smaller lawn tennis courts and soak up the atmosphere from very close.
