Item Description

The Championships, Wimbledon, or simply Wimbledon, is the oldest tennis tournament in the world and is generally considered the most prestigious. It has been held at the All England Club in the London suburb of Wimbledon since 1877.  It is one of the four Grand Slam tennis tournaments, and the only one still played on the game’s original surface, grass, which gave the game of lawn tennis its name.

The tournament takes place over two weeks in late June and early July, culminating with ladies’ and gentlemen’s singles finals, scheduled respectively for the second Saturday and Sunday. Each year, five major events are contested, as well as four junior events and four invitational events.

Wimbledon traditions include the eating of strawberries and cream, royal patronage and a strict dress code for competitors. In 2009, Wimbledon Centre Court was fitted with a retractable roof to insure against the possibility of rain delays interrupting Centre Court matches during the tournament.

The Wimbledon Final Tour is created for tennis fans who want to fulfill their lifetime ambition to witness history being made in the Ladies’ and Men’s finals.

• Reserved Centre Court seats for 2  for the Ladies Finals, Saturday, July 2, 2011,  and for the Men’s Finals Sunday, July 3, 2011.
